Two remote devices with same name - Rotating on dashboard


Recommended Posts

Two remote family members have chromecatss - both called 'Family room TV'.

On dashboard, this flips between them both.

Apart from asking one to rename their device, is there anything on the server side I can do to fix this ?

I don't believe so.  Does only one appear in Dashboard-Devices list?

There's no way to get a unique device id from chromecast so we use the name as the identifier. that's why this happens.

 

It's possible to improve our handling of this, but unlikely to happen in the short term.
