Server display name cannot include "emby"

[johndc7 0]

Since (I think) 4.8.1.0, the server display name finds "emby" and replaces it with "Media Server".

Was this an intentional change? If so, why?

It also says "If left blank, the computer name will be used" but this also does not seem to be possible:

It's likely to do with the network headers - if you use 'emby' in the name, then Google and others think you are impersonating emby.media - and thus flag you as a bad site to browsers.

Curious; I am not seeing "Emby" in the server name being changed, in the latest stable or beta.

And I don't think the server's friendly name has anything to do with network headers anyway.

Ah maybe you're right - my server is named the same as my dns name so I assumed this to be the case.  My bad.
