Feature: automatic connection

[arikorn]

Using Bonjour to find the GoStream device is awesome.
One upgrade opportunity: Right now, one has to select a specific device. When switching between two devices at different locations, the module says "I can't find your selected device," even though it sees another one on the network. So the feature request is for Companion to automatically connect to the first available device.

Another way to say this, perhaps, is right now you have to choose between "Manual" and a specific model. Another option for the connection:device menu could be "Automatic" (or "Auto") which would connect to the first device it finds regardless of the previous connection. (This may also help for unreliable connections where the connection drops and comes back up?)

(My use-case is that I have one GSD at home and different one on location, so there's only one device available at any one location, but since they're different Companion gets confused.)

Yes, good suggestion

This will be hard to do, there is no support for it in companion . There are ways around that but they are cumbersome. Will keep issue open for future considerations but remove it from current plans
