Emby for linux server name?

[dcook 302]

I am setting up a Ubuntu server, as I want to potentially move my Emby library from Windows to Ubuntu.

I have Emby installed, and when I login it says: Sign in to Media Server1

 

 

However that is not the name I gave the emby server: its just called emby-test

 

Nor is it the hostname of the Ubuntu server:
root@ubuntu-test:/opt/emby-server# hostname
ubuntu-test

Can someone advise what config file this line of text is generated from: Sign in to Media Server1
 

All my hostname and emby server name are lower case, and this link has "Media Server" with capital letters so I know its not coming from the \etc\hostname or the emby server name setting in the dashboard.

I can tell you that references to the word "emby" get replaced with "Media Server" but your case should say "Media Server-test". Maybe cached from an older name?

So your saying if I name my server "emby" somehow that is getting replaced by the words "Media Server"

@Lukeare you able to advise on this? 

Its all very confusing, or maybe I just don't understand Linux well enough

I don't see why the name would be overwritten on Linux, when on Windows you can set the server name whatever you want

This only happens on your own web app, not our other apps.

What do you mean by "my own web app"  I don't have my own app, I am logging into the Emby dashboard, should it not show the servername correctly as I specified?

Would this not be the same for any of my users who login? they are going to see incorrect server name also?

What is the point of giving us the ability to name or rename our servers as we want, but then you ignore that and replace it with "Media Server"  it makes no sense

Is there CSS code that can over-ride this terrible behavior?

The replacement Emby does because "Google" often flags any server name that contains this as impersonating Emby and gives a big red warning to anyone trying to access it!  So use any server name that doesn't contain the text "emby".

If its a known issue, then why does it allow me to use the word "emby" for my server name?, it should have given a warning or just stated it was not allowed

Instead it accepted my server name without complaint and then I spend hours trying to figure out why the server name is not showing up correctly on the login page!
