Why doesn't the Android app keep a manually-added server address?

When I manually set a custom server address in the Emby Android app (to point it at a different port than the one Emby auto-discovers), the change doesn't stick — after closing and reopening the app, it reverts back to the auto-discovered address every time. Tried this on both the latest stable release and the current beta channel — same result on both.

Is this intentional — does auto-discovery always take precedence over a manually-entered address for a known server — or is this a bug? If it's by design, I'd appreciate understanding the reasoning, since as it stands there's no way to keep a client pointed at anything other than the address Emby itself broadcasts.

Thanks

Try clearing your browser cache.  Also, if you are using IP addresses, I believe many, if not all, Android browsers prohibit IP numbers from working easily.  You can try an incognito browser window.
