How to change EMby server name?

[chjohans 34]

How can I change the name I gave the Emby server during installation? I can't find anything in the server dashboard, so I expected it to be in system.xml but I don't see it there either. How do I do this?

Click the pencil on the Dashboard next to the server name.

  <ServerName>Home Media</ServerName>

Yes just use the interface to change your settings.

Doh, I need prescription glasses I guess. Right there in front of me in big letters with the "edit pen" behind it

 

Thanks!

Thanks for confirming.

I am going to move to a new computer, how will changing the server name affect emby connect and remote connectivity?

You're going to do a fresh install on this new computer?

Yes sir, that is my plan.

Ok you'll need to set those things up again. Your emby connect will still show your old server but you can easily delete that from the server selection screen.

Thank you sir, I appreciate your time.

I actually ended up not having to do anything with connect and my old server is no longer available and my new one is.

 

Thanks much,

Just to jump in, I have the same problem.

 

My Emby server is working fine, but devices cant connect to it anymore?!?

 

I tried everything, Emby connect... or connect manually with IP or server name, always the same message Unable to locate server make sure it is online or whatever
