Server Name?

I have the following in my profiles.xml:

<FriendlyName>Serviio myServerName</FriendlyName>

However, when viewed by a DLNA server on my TV, it displays the name as localhost.

This is on a Linux machine, running the most recent serviio release. If I access a different serviio server running under Windows from my TV, the name is what I expect.

Not a big deal, but any suggestions?

Never seen that before. I have two different servers on my network (one for testing) and I have modified the default name on both of them, and the new names have always stuck. Just out of curiosity, do a search of the profiles file for the word localhost and see if it's somewhere else in the file and being picked up. I just checked mine and it's not found, so yours shouldn't find it either.

No, "localhost" does not appear in profiles.xml.

But localhost is a typical default name on Linux systems.
