Dual URL & Network Switching

Configure local and external URLs for seamless connectivity at home and away.

What is Dual URL Mode?

Dual URL mode lets you configure two URLs for the same server:

  • Local URL — for when you are on the same network (e.g. http://192.168.1.100:8096)
  • External URL — for when you are outside your home network (e.g. https://jellyfin.example.com)

Enabling Auto-Switch

  1. Edit your server configuration.
  2. Enable Dual URL mode.
  3. Enter both the Local URL and External URL.
  4. Toggle Auto Switch on.

JellyWatch will automatically detect your network and route requests through the appropriate URL. The last working URL is cached for faster reconnection.

How It Works

  • JellyWatch monitors your current network state.
  • When connected to your home Wi-Fi, it uses the local URL for faster, direct connections.
  • When on mobile data or a different network, it switches to the external URL.
  • If one URL fails, JellyWatch falls back to the other automatically.
