Describe the issue
Often the mobile app shows an empty library. If I click Connect, it'll find it. I'm not sure whether this happens on network change, or just app sleep. Is the app not automatically attempting a connect on open? Seems like it does it when opening, but maybe not when it's been sleeping?
It would be great if the app attempted an auto-connect when switching to it.
Steps to reproduce the issue
Open App (after being asleep or network change)
No library shown
Click connect, app connects to library
Audiobookshelf version
server v2.0.2 Android mobile app v0.9.41-beta
How are you running audiobookshelf?
Docker

The app does try to auto-connect when it is opened. The only time it doesn't is if it previously failed to connect or was previously logged out.
It stores a "last server config" id and if that is set when launched then it will try to connect to it.

Thanks for the update, assumed this was an integral part of how it worked. Casual testing seems to work on network switching. Feel free to close, or I'll do myself after a week or so of monitoring this.
