Cast To DLNA (Sonos) device name

[PeteyMW]

Hello,

I'm trying to determine how to rename / shorten Sonos speaker names that appear under the 'Cast to device' button. For example, my 2 Sonos speakers appear as:

'192.168.1.30 - Sonos Play:1 - RINCON_#MAC# @Kitchen'
'192.168.1.31 - Sonos Play:1 - RINCON_#MAC# @Office'

I wish to display these as simply the Sonos speaker name - the last word above: @Kitchen; @Office

I've started to investigate whether this can be done via DLNA, CSS or webhooks plugin options, with no success.

BTW, I attempted to enable DLNA debugging as per https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/networking/dlna/ ("Emby.Dlna": "Debug", "Emby.Dlna.Eventing": "Debug"; also tried 'Jellyfin...' in place of 'Emby...') but don't see any [DBG] info. I do see entries like:

[INF] DLNA Session created for "192.168.1.30 - Sonos Play:1 - RINCON_#MAC# @Kitchen" - "Sonos Play:1"
[INF] No matching device profile found. The default will need to be used.
DeviceIdentification { FriendlyName: "192.168.1.31 - Sonos Play:1 - RINCON_#MAC' @Kitchen" ...


I hope someone can advise - thank you.

Cheers,
Pete

Pretty sure the device is providing a name to Jellyfin. So I'm assuming you'd have to change the name with the Sonos app.

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately, although the speaker name can be changed via the Sonos app, it's JF's 'Cast to Devce / Play On' name [e.g. '192.168.1.30 - Sonos Play:1 - RINCON_#MAC' @Kitchen - DLNA'] I wish to change / shorten.
Unable to do so via Sonos (https://en.community.sonos.com/controlle...ed-6789689), I was hoping to change how Jellyfin displays it.
NB I see that Emby's DLNA plugin behaves similarly; their Sonos-specifc one does display speakers as required (e.g. '@Kitchen').

I've tried several avenues but have just about given up!


Aside: not related to this issue but to avoid 'No matching device profile found...' output in JF's log file for Sonos (S1) speakers, I created a ...jellyfin\plugins\configurations\dlna\user\sonos.xml:
Starting with jellyfin\plugins\DLNA_2.0.0.0\profiles\default.xml,  added / amended the following:

Code:

  <Name>Sonos</Name>
  <Identification>
  <deviceType>urn:schemas-upnp-org:device:ZonePlayer:1</deviceType>
  <manufacturer>Sonos, Inc.</manufacturer>
  <manufacturerURL>http://www.sonos.com</manufacturerURL>
  <modelNumber>S1</modelNumber>
  <modelDescription>Sonos Play:1</modelDescription>
  <modelName>Sonos Play:1</modelName>
  <modelURL>http://www.sonos.com/products/zoneplayers/S1</modelURL>
    <Headers>
    <HttpHeaderInfo name="User-Agent" value="Linux UPnP/1.0 Sonos/" match="Substring" />
    </Headers>
  </Identification>
  <SupportedMediaTypes>Audio</SupportedMediaTypes>
  <DirectPlayProfile container="mp3,wav,m4a,mp4,aac,flac,ogg,asf,wma" videoCodec="" type="Audio" />

Notes:
Identification info from http://<SonosSpeakerIP>:1400/xml/device_description.xml, with speaker-specific info rmoeved; 'HttpHeaderInfo' info from 'wget --server-response -qO /dev/null http://<SonosSpeakerIP>:1400/status'

For info,

I resolved this by building Jellyfin.Plugin.Dlna.dll with a small tweak. In source code jellyfin-plugin-dlna\src\Jellyfin.Plugin.Dlna\PlayTo\PlayToManager.cs:

Replaced:
string deviceName = device.Properties.Name;

With:
string deviceName = device.Properties.Name.Substring(device.Properties.Name.LastIndexOf('@'));

- my Sonos speakers now appear as their speaker name (e.g. previously presented as '192.168.1.30 - Sonos Play:1 - RINCON_#MAC# @Kitchen - DLNA', now simply '@Kitchen - DLNA').
- other devices, without @ in their uPnP name, are unaffected.

Cheers,
Pete

This would be a great improvement in the plugin itself - even if it's a checkbox to say "Shorten name" and have a regex split the string at the predictable RINCON_<MAC>.
