Active Devices - issue with devices with same name

[Bomsterr 4]

Hi all, just a bug report relating to the active Devices pane on the server dashboard.

 

Most of my clients are using Chromecasts, which by default are all called Living Room TV, when looking at the dashbaord they appear as shown in below link... in one 'pane', and with the incorrect info, like not detailing any info about the transcoding etc. Unfortunately I cannot rename them on the Devices page as Chromecasts dont appear.

This happens to me too, but both systems already have different names (Shield1 and Shield2). Emby Server switches between them though (Kodi-WK and Kodi-SK) and it messes up the syncs (one gets synced, the other doesn't, unless I reboot the system(s)). Any ideas?
