rename CEC

Hello,

Is there a way to rename the CEC-name of RASPLEX/KODI? I have 4 ( :slight_smile: ) RPI’s connected to my TV.
If I switch to the input selector, I see:

  1. KODI
  2. HTPC
  3. RASPLEX 1
  4. RASPLEX 2

It is a little bit confusing for my family, so is there a way to have the rasplex/kodi announce themselves under another CEC-name?

Can be done in System Settings and Preferences->Services.

Regards

nope.

Changed
SYSTEM SETTINGS
-> SYSTEM -> Identification -> System Name -> RPI3
-> SERVICES -> can not enter name anywhere

And the system name is not displayed on the OSD of my TV (samsung)

other suggestions?

In Preferences->System->Services->Device name.

Regards

Hi @NedtheNerd
I think I’m missing something. Are we talking about the same?
Running rasplex devel-20160301002139 on RPI3

If I go to
MENU -> SYSTEM SETTINGS -> services
I only see Samba, SSH, Avahi, Cron, Driver, etc…
No option to enter name

If I go to
MENU -> PEFERENCES -> SYSTEM -> SERVICES -> Device Name = RPI3

but my TV doesn’t pick up this name, it keeps “Rasplex” as name.
Because I have 2 rasplex connected, this becomes:
Rasplex 1
Rasplex 2

To be clear:

Preferences->System->Services->Device name is the name seem by PMS and other Plex clients

System Settings->System->Identification->System name is the name seen by network discovery on your local network

However, I have just made changes to these on one of my systems and plugged it into a TV directly via HDMI and the name is still Rasplex.

Do you want to raise an issue on GitHub?

my first on GitHub. Was a little bit nervous about that :slight_smile:

@NedtheNerd: still an issue…

Yes, still an open ‘Enhancement’ ‘issue’ on GitHub.
