DLNA Friendly server name for windows

[Gernash 19]

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.

Where exactly are you referring to?

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.

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.
