There are a few places where we would like to use a primary server.

* Transcoding thumbnails and videos from the myPlex queue.
* Search suggestions for universal search.
* Up for discussion: showing channels on the home screen. We currently show recently viewed channels across all owned servers. The iOS client always operates in a selected server mode, so it grabs channels only from that server (I believe it actually issues a request to just that server but uses an endpoint that aggregates channels on all local servers).

Right now we arbitrarily choose an online, owned server and call it the primary. It would be preferable if the user could choose a primary server.
