Gernash 19 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 What profile is used for windows 8.1 to assign a Friendly server Name? I have tried a few profiles and can see different names on Amplifier and android but not windows machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gernash 19 Posted July 1, 2015 Author Share Posted July 1, 2015 in explorer under Network -> Media devices you should see your DLNA Friendly Name it is also reflected in This PC -> Network locations also if you open Windows media player it will appear below the other libraries Basically any where that can see DLNA devices. I assume that is what you meant. If I change the default profile in the server to FluffyKitten then android devices show Fluffykitten but windows devices display Emby.

Happy2Play 8242 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Unfortunately the default profile from what I have seen is has to be modified to recognize the device. So modifying the friendly name and it becoming a custom profile it never gets used in my experience. From the network view I don't know how that works since you can right click and rename to whatever you like, but in do know what you mean. I'll test this a little more today.
