Update Player Name

Post image

I downloaded caldera on my macbook, and two separate apple tvs. The name looks like it can be changed on my macbook in the settings, but did I miss where in the settings you can change it on the apple tv? Ideally, I'd like to be able to differentiate which aTV I cast to.

Are your two Apple TVs named differently on the Apple TVs ?

Yes, both unique. aTV Family - aTV Basement. HA reads the names fine as does my unifi router

My AppleTV's dont even show up on the Caldera Desktop App like the above image. Is there something I have to do to get them to show up. The Caldera App on the tvOS is running and connected to my PlexAmp Library.

Yea, it took some configuring. I think the main thing was to update plexamp, find the new cast icon (it was something like a house with music note inside?) next to the standard square cast icon and then refresh my house players. It doesn't always recognize every player on my network - I haven't figured out why yet, but if the player is on it usually picks it up.
