Kodi (localhost) - Dashboard Active Devices


Recommended Posts

This is probably not something you can really correct, but, when I run Kodi on my Nvidia Shield and use this great plugin, what is reported in the Emby management dashboard is "Kodi (localhost)". It really isn't localhost. Is there a way to get a little more control over what it reports to Emby?

Actually, Emby could be a little more careful on the inclusions... What damned thing the clients send doesn't care as much as what the server allows to be inserted inside itself.

I have no idea what you're trying to say here. Can you please elaborate a little more?

Maybe I should elaborate differently.

 

1. Sometimes my Kodi appears several times at the devices list, as if I had several Kodies.

 

2. All devices are just mixed in a single list

 

3. I can't manage (permit or prohibit) devices that appear

 

Conclusions: it doesn't serve for much. It just a list of what it finds. There should be an active management and control, and avoid the creation of duplicates or such

I see duplicates as well. There's no way to get rid of them, they just come back. I've seen it happen for Kodi and even theater on ps4.

I can also confirm this. My Shield also reports as "localhost". Previously this behaviour didnt happen, so maybe something altered it along the way?

Yes, in the add-on settings, enable Use an alternative device name.

Nothing like that was altered in the add-on itself. It either takes what Kodi reports as a device name, or whatever you set in the add-on settings.
