Idea of a proxy (passthrough) feature

I was wondering if there was any way to create a "proxy mode" for Serviio.

Let me explain.

I have a server on which I have my main videos (TV shows mostly). This server is offsite and accessible only using a public IP address (so no DLNA and local subnet stuffs).

This server have Serviio installed. I'm viewing my video using the Mediabrowser interface (and ServiiGo on my Android smartphone).

I also have a Serviio server on my local computer to serve Video from my home server (films mosty) to my télévision.

I thought it could be cool to have the content of the remote server and the content of the local server displayed on my television.

I thought it could be pretty straightforward if using the mediabrowser API.

Let me know if it's a total crazy idea which have 0 use case scenario (despite mine)

Regards,

François

I to would love a feature like this.
I do believe Zip has said he is looking in to this idea at some stage

Might be worth adding your suggestion to the bitbucket ticket here

VPN networking....

VPN is how I currently do it but it has its limitations and is sometimes not possible.

Main limitation is bandwidth. Reading the file over VPN will mean transferring the data at full data rate which I imagine for a 720p plus film most domestic internet connections would struggle with. The benefit of Serviio Servers being able to talk to each other and stream from one to another would be the ability to transocde it before having to upload it meaning less demand on the internet connection.
