Server not visible after network change

Issue #608 wontfix
Former user created an issue

When I change networks (switch location --office, home, friends, etc-- and subnets -- 10.x/192.168.[1/0]) I don't see my laptop's serviio instance from devices on the network.

Once I restart serviio, which requires a hard kill on osx since I couldn't find any other way, then I can see the instance.

    That is expected, as Java doesn't have access to the low level OS events of network changes. You'll have to restart the server in these cases.

    What if we track changes to the network by periodically comparing active addresses? I will look to see if there is an easy way detect ip changes in java.

    Also, having an option to rebind for announcements would be very handy so I don't need to restart which is not trivial on OSX. Even just doing this periodically would solve this issue I think.
