Change device name

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

is it just me or is there no way to change the device name for the Android App?

 

The server shows in active devices only the Android device name, for example "samsung GT-I9300" or "rockchip rk30sdk", same if I want to set the output to a special device.

 

It would be nice if I could change the name somewhere in the app (or server) for better recognition (especially if you have more then one device of a kind).

 

I see I can change the displayed name for DLNA devices but not for devices with the Android app.

 

Or is there some way to change the name?

 

Thanks & Ciao,

Alfred

Hello Luke,

 

didn't see the Android devices in the devices tab, only DLNA, Browser, MBC devices.

So I can change their names but not the names of Android app devices.

 

I see the android devices only in the server dashboard in active devices (where I cannot change the name) and in "camera upload" (where I also cannot change the name).

 

I'm using the latest stable release.

 

Did I overlook something?

 

Thanks, Ciao & Happy new year,

Alfred

Sure? It should be. Can you post a screenshot?

Hi Sven and Luke,

 

I cannot select and rename the Android devices as I do not see them in the server dashboard under devices:

But I can see them in the camera upload (where I cannot rename them):

And I can see them when they are active (where I also cannot rename them):

These are also the names I see when I select an output device:

Of course, these names are not very nice.

 

My server version is 3.0.5464.40000 (Windows 8.1).

I'm using my MediaBrowser login to connect.

 

Thanks & Ciao,

Alfred

I can confirm no Android is listed in the device list for me either.  Furthermore I see duplicates.  In the below list you can see my iphone and ipad via safari is listed multiple times.  I think the "Russ'" iphone and ipad entries are when using the MB3 iOS app.  The safari of course is the web interface using the same ipad.  No Android listed here though even though I have an active device.
