Issues on transferring between networks

[Batt 0]

When using the Emby on the iPhone, If I change networks,  the Emby fails to change the network as well and just freezes until I completely close it and re-open it.

An example of this is when I am connected to my home wi-fi and then get into the car. It may play a cached song, but the whole app freezes when trying to access the next song in the queue. 

When I on the wi-fi, I am connecting via local IP, when I am not on the home network it connects via my domain. 

When I look at the dashboard I see 

Home (LAN) access: http://<internal_IP>:8096

Remote (WAN) access: https://mydomain.com

Is this a known issue, or a feature request to have this transition automatic?

I think it's meant to be automatic, but there seem to be some very long timeouts and retries before it manages to sort it out.  I think it always does in the end (minutes), but it's quite irritating; I'm sure that it used to be better.  I don't know if the problem is changes in iOS making it harder in the name of "security" or something - I wouldn't be surprised.

I suspect there is also a connection between this behaviour and the way that sometimes the client will restart after about 15 seconds, even if you've started using it.

I have had a server for a few years and I have never seen it auto-change, even after a long period of time. I just thought it was the nature of the beast when moving from wi-fi to cell data, but then I got Spotify and that changes seamlessly, and yesterday, I set up a audio book service on the same server and the iOS app for that has a setting to auto fall back to local IP when the domain is not available (I don't have an option for a "hairpin" loopback on my router)
