However, if you have multiple of the same device (say for example, you have a FireTV in the living room, bedroom and office), when you try to stream music on your living room TV, you face a problem: all the devices are named "Amazon FireTV"!! You may even go into the Amazon Device manager or the TVs device settings ON THE TV and given each of your devices a different name, but - unfortunately - that doesn't matter, confronted with a list of 3 or 4 " Samsung TV"s.Įven if Spotify respected the device name settings, the ability to add an alias to your devices would make connecting to your devices an even better experience! That way, when friends come over for your Halloween party, they can see "Living Room TV", " Office TV", instead of "Beeblebrox", "Dent" (my network is named after Hitchhiker's Guide characters) and, the terrible, "Samsung TV", "Samsung TV".Īll it would take is an extra field in a table and a small UI change for the alias, and the alias option would be far more useful to the layperson than pulling the device name - but, just, do both.
Examples: Amazon FireTV boxes are named "Amazon FireTV", Samsung smart TVs are named " Samsung TV", etc. It seems that Spotify likes to use a "default name" for devices you can connect to and stream to.
