Please add the feature so we can put an alias to a know device instead the name of the TV or the player from that TV. For example, I have in my list three devices with the same name PLEX for LG because I have 3 LG TV with the same WebOS. Thank you.

A request for the same feature exists already.

> [@Ability to see the name of the device that something is being played on (e.g. "Living Room")](https://forums.plex.tv/t/ability-to-see-the-name-of-the-device-that-something-is-being-played-on-e-g-living-room/71957/1):
>
> In the top right of each video in the "Now Playing" section is the name of the device that the video is being played on. For example it may say "Chromecast" or "Plex Web (Chrome)". I think it should be able to pull the name of the device that it is being played on. For example, instead of saying "Chromecast" it could say "Living Room" or "Chromecast (Living Room)" or something long those lines.
