There's no big mystery to solve. This is correct. So this does work when directly connected to a server as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is getting more and more convoluted. Could you kindly share which link/address would selecting "Change Server" option (if there were any) take us to when connected locally to IP:port in Web App?

It is a page built into the app. Every time you log in to a server, each app saves that information. Then, when you go to the "switch server" screen, it shows you a combination of the saved servers and any it can automatically find on the local network. All of the apps - including the web app - should do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO it shouldn't, if I enter server IP:port I don't want to be presented with Select Server screen, as I explicitly stated which server I wanna connect to. Other local servers are easily reachable through Bookmarks. Also direct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would preclude servers sniffing your network (and/or blasting presence) and being "aware" of each other , as Web App ain't app "per se" as Theater or other client apps are, so it could "remember" - server would need to remember that and AFAIK no server does.

Happy2Play Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) The localhost/direct IP web client has no Connect capabilities so there is no change server options. Edited October 14, 2021 by Happy2Play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy2Play Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 To me it is self explanatory it is a client that is only connected to installed server. All other clients can connect to any server. So I guess Luke would have to take the web client out of the server and make it a independent client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBSki Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 Personally I prefer all apps to act the same, but I can change. I'll just switch to using the online web app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
