custom device name in DLNA "Play On [Devicename]"

[KryptonicBe 8]

Hi

Is it possible to change the device names in the menu "Play On". I'm currently using Emby server on a QNAP-TS-453D NAS.

See also in my screenshot, the device name for my Sonos speakers is a very long name: IP address - device name - number - roomname - server name.

We have a lot of devices at home, on a small screen like a phone these names are too long, can we shorten/edit the names?

I would like to display only the name of the device without the IP address, number or other info.

Apparently this issue is specific to Sonos, same problem for Jellyfin users:

I see they try to fix it with a custom DLNA plugin.
I'm using the standard DLNA plugin for Emby.
I'm no programmer but can we edit this plugin or does the Emby team have to do this?

@KryptonicBehave you tried using our dedicated Sonos plugin rather than the generalized Dlna?
