save "location profiles" for network-specific settings

Here's the scenario:

I have serviio installed on my laptop and it works wonderfully with my samsung tv.

However, i spend a lot of time at a friend's house ...and at a mountain home, and at a condo at the beach. and would love to stream media to all tvs in each location (via their samsung tv, direct tv mediashare, ps3, or whatever happens to be in that location's network).

Currently to travel with serviio - you'd have to change ip addresses in the console (at minimum - just started setting up in the 2nd location so far so i'll see what i run into). And so i have to manually update the ip address back and forth each time i move the laptop.

I'd be great if you could save network specific information such as IP address, device profiles, etc and ...

option A. have it saved as a profile that would appear in a drop down to choose
or ... even better....
option B - have it automatically detect which network you are on and assign the correct network-specific settings if one has previously been created.

There is two options for this as i see it.

Option 1. With console set to AUTO ip ( no bound ip set ) you can safely move the server to any location and serviio will pickup any connected devices at each
location, i do this on a regular basis with my familys house my own and my holiday home in cornwall.

Option 2. Buy a server for each location and leave them there perminantly. :)

That still needs some work to sync the files all the time. ;)
