Snapcast tiles show ‘snapcast_client_‘mac_address’’, they used to show the name of the client.
Any ideas on how to change it?
You can give it a friendly_name using the customize option
Yes thanks, I’ve done that once but it’s so time consuming and frustrating especially when Home Assistant used to show the friendly name. I chop and change the system quite regularly, so am constantly having to go back in and try and sort out the names. I’ve moved over to Mopidy-Iris now, the friendly names are listed and I also use the app when possible.
Thanks for taking the time to reply though.
You should be able to change the names outside HA if you want. Here is the link for more information on how to do it:
@skalavala This does not work with hass though. Look at the code here: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/media_player/snapcast.py#L191
The snapcast component uses the ID as the name instead of using the friendly name which is also provided by the library from @happyleaves: https://github.com/happyleavesaoc/python-snapcast/blob/master/snapcast/control/client.py#L34
Is there a reason for that? Otherwise I would like to open a PR to change the behaviour.
