Server Version#: Version 1.42.2.10156  
Player Version#: Version 4.147.1

Is there a way to REMOVE the server name (NAME/LABEL ONLY) from the library list? I would like it to just show “TV Shows” on the main screen rather than also specifying what server it is on below it.

You have two servers registered. 192.168.1.43 and 192.168.1.45

You can remove unwanted servers you no longer use from Authorized Devices → Server

I am not trying to remove any servers, I am trying to HIDE/REMOVE the labels (shown with the circles) on them.

That’s part of the UI. It shows the name of the server (library source)

Understood. Is there a way to remove/hide it?! Or no?! I don’t care what server it is coming from and showing that is a waste.

That doesn’t come close to answering the question/issue. In the example shown I won’t to hide/remove “Glockner” or “ds920”

Huh…

If you unpin it, it goes away from your home view, and can then only be found under `more/server name`

And once again I am not trying to REMOVE it from my home view. I am trying to HIDE or REMOVE the label underneath it since it is useless to me. I do not need to see what the SOURCE is. I just want to see “Movies” and not “Movies” w/ an underscore indicating what hard drive or NAS or source it is on.
