Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Upon starting the app, it would be nice to have an option to choose a different server like how it's done with Jellyfin.

Why would this be helpful?

I use Tailscale to connect to my library when I'm away from home, however when I'm at home I connect directly through my home network. If I log in at home and then wish to continue listening to an audiobook when I'm not at home, I cannot switch to the Tailscale IP address as it just tries to log into the home network. Therefore an option to change network would be really nice.

Great app, by the way. I really like it.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

This could be a "Choose Network" button just under the "Connect" button.

Audiobookshelf App Version

Android App - 0.9.79

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

The screen that appears when you start the app and can't connect to your home network.

Sounds like connected/duplicate to that: #209

But in general a solution you are looking for is split DNS.

I'm a little confused by this request. Does the "switch server/user" button in the side menu not work?

Both the "Connect to Server" and "Switch User/Server" take you to the page to change how connecting to the server.

No, the "Switch Server/User" is only there if you are already connected to a server. It is not visible when it is trying to connect to a server that you are no longer connected to.

If you're not connected to a server then you can use the "Connect to Server"

You can still switch the server by clicking the top button and then selecting the other server.

Okay, got it. I must have been doing something wrong or clicking the wrong thing.

Thank you for your help.
