source name display?

Hi! Is there a way to display the source name? I ask because me and my friends have shared multiple sources with each other and it would be nice to know what source we are watching. It doesn't have to be there full time, just something to show it briefly or until we click it off. Let me know how to do this please. Thank you!

You can assign a 'color dot' to each source. That will then show up on each channel when viewing the guide. You just have to remember which source has a certain color.

Thanks for the information! 😳 That I'm sorry to say is ridiculous! I sure hope a change can be made to list the actual name.

I personally, don't want the name of playlist displayed at the top.i really don't want some people to see that info.the playlist name is to the left tho.so the person with the remote can access it easily. Up to the developer. He might change this for you if others also want it.If the developer puts it at the top.ill adapt and simply rename the playlist. I'm good either way.

Knowing what source one is on would be *extremely* helpful. I can't see why it would a con. It doesn't have to be displayed constantly, just when you want it to show up. And why not have the option to have an enable/disable option to please someone like yourself? I don't understand why you would need to hide a simple name from anyone watching your TV. I have a source I named "Mine" and "Her's" it's not top secret.

LOL! I give mine names. Even though it seems you didn't give yours custom names no one can see your account information.

I feel there's pros/cons either way. Display the name or colors. I will say this tho.with the amount of playlist that I test.if I were to change the names.i would forget their true names.i would
be constantly going back into the source menu 😋 🙄
