Hi all,

Is there a way to auto-discover quelea’s mobile lyrics and mobile remote addresses and ports?

I am currently working on a [project](https://github.com/kavishdahekar/obselea) to simply integration between obs and quelea.

Instead of having the user enter the mobile lyrics and remote IPs everytime, it would be easy if I could somehow programmatically discover them on the local network.

Is there any log or other file where quelea might write these addresses?  
Can I scan all IPs and ports in a specific range?  
Any other way this could be achieved? (network discovery, etc)

Would be grateful if anybody has any leads on this!

Thanks & Regards,  
Kavish D.

If you only work on the same device you could always find the settings in the `quelea.properties` file. You can find it in the same folder as [the debug log](https://quelea-projection.github.io/docs/Debug_log), in case you don’t know where it is.

If you want to automatically find the servers over the network, the remote app uses the port `50015` to find the addresses and ports. That port returns the information you need (if at least one of the servers are started of course). The app scans all the addresses in a range at that port until it receives a proper response, so that’s one way you could do it too.

Good luck!
