How do you change the DLNA server name?

Hi,

I am testing Serviio and was wondering if there was a way to change the name the XBox 360 sees through the DLNA server? Currently it says "Serviio-HomeDell-PC" and I would like to change it.

Thanks,
Rick

My Serviio is listed by the computer name. My server is simply named "server", so that's what shows up on my video boxes. My guess is your computer name is "HomeDell-PC". Rename the computer and you change the Serviio advertised name. Now if there's a setting in the config file that you can alter, I'm unaware of it. Zip could answer for sure.

It's controlled via config/profiles.xml , at the very top of the file.

  Code:


                        <FriendlyName>Serviio ({computerName})</FriendlyName>


Awesome! Thanks.

What about on a mac?

you can put that line also into specific device's profile, in Device Description:
(that way I distinguish which profile I have selected, cos I copy also older profiles in new version, so I have 1.3, 1.3.1, 1.4 and now 1.4.1 version of Samsung EF profile)

  Code:

   <Profile id="Samsung6800" name="SamsungTV ES6800 ver 1.4.1" extendsProfileId="1">
      <ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>org.serviio.upnp.service.contentdirectory.SamsungDLNAMessageBuilder</ContentDirectoryMessageBuilder>
         <ResourceTransportProtocolHandler>org.serviio.upnp.protocol.http.transport.SamsungWiseLinkProtocolHandler</ResourceTransportProtocolHandler>
           <Detection>
         <UPnPSearch>
            <FriendlyName>(^\[TV\][A-Z]{2}\d{2}(E|F)[A-Z]?\d{3,4}.*)|^\[TV\] Samsung</FriendlyName>            
            <ModelNumber>(1\.0)|(AllShare1\.0)</ModelNumber>
         </UPnPSearch>   
         <HttpHeaders>
            <!-- for BD players -->
            <User-Agent>(.*SEC_HHP_BD-[EF].*)|(.*SEC_HHP_\[(HT|BD)\][EF].*)</User-Agent>
         </HttpHeaders>
      </Detection>
      <DeviceDescription>
         <FriendlyName>Serviio 1.4.1</FriendlyName>
                   <ExtraElements>
                               &lt;sec:ProductCap&gt;smi,DCM10,getMediaInfo.sec,getCaptionInfo.sec&lt;/sec:ProductCap&gt;
                               &lt;sec:X_ProductCap&gt;smi,DCM10,getMediaInfo.sec,getCaptionInfo.sec&lt;/sec:X_ProductCap&gt;

Thanks great post! After upgrading to Serviio 1.5 on my Zyxel NAS Serviio started appearing on my network as "Serviio (localhost.localdomain)". I think serviio is doing a nslookup trying to resolve the hostname of the device. I could change this in the /etc/hosts file but my NAS overwrites /etc/hosts on reboot. The above seems to fix the probem nicely. Thanks!
