automatically determine if server is http or https and running on port 8096/8920 or 80/443 when adding.

Right now when adding an Emby server to a client you have to type out the full address including http:// or https://, and if you are using a proxy you have to manually change the port to 80/443. That can cause confusion when you're trying to get family set up on the server.

 

Meanwhile on jellyfin if you enter myserver.com it'll automatically check all four configurations and use the one that gets a response.

 

Would it be possible to set it up that when adding a server you can just enter mysite.com and it'll automatically check http://mysite.com:8096, https://mysite.com:8920, http://mysite.com:80, and http://mysite.com:443 and then pick the one that works?

But, not in that order, right?  I think we would want to try the two https options first...
