Summary0012826: Automatical port mapping using UPnP (for internet access to media server)
DescriptionCurrently if user wants to access MediaMonkey server externally outside of LAN (from the Internet) he needs to check port number of MM server, login into his router and set up port forwarding for the ip/port. This can be quite complicated for novice (non-advances) users.

But if the user's router is UPnP capable (and UPnP is enabled) then MM can automatically tell the router to map the port. E.g. Serviio or Subsonic can do this. There are also utilities to do this (PortMapper, Albertino Port Mapper).

We should also add this ability, it should be probably done only once the '[x] Accept external IPs' checkbox is checked.

Verified by analyzing Packets sent to routers, not all routers support UPNP and router DMZ settings to different IP on LAN can interfere also. Although this solution will work for many users.
