Player name wrong #11
Description
Hi,
i am running the helper in the latest release v.3.4.2 and it always
reports the player with the name "kodi" instead of the name set in the settings,
using the machine name ("PleXBMC") instead also has no effect.
Logs:
23:13:45 T:140541765334784 NOTICE: PlexGDM: Sending registration data: HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Content-Type: plex/media-player
Resource-Identifier: ab24658e-b31a-475f-b9ef-4f506301c7ae
Name: kodi
Port: 3005
Product: PleXBMC
Version: 3.6.1
Protocol: plex
Protocol-Version: 1
Protocol-Capabilities: navigation,playback,timeline
Device-Class: HTPC
Thanks for the help on this, not beeing able to set the player name makes it kind
of difficult to control multiple installations in one network.

martink2 - Thanks - i'll have a look.
@wickning1 - I'm looking at merging helper code into plexbmc so we have a single package to maintain. Helper will still run as a service, and initially I wo;t be making any changes, but I would like update to continue on the plexbmc repo. Doing this means we can reuse code from both, move functions from plexbmc to helper and avoid issues like these from arising. Is this ok with you - I think you have write access into plexbmc (if not, i can update).

@austin1howard adding to conversation.

This problem is fixed in 3.4.7 but I didn't make a release out of it yet.
Merging sounds fine to me if Kodi allows it. My understanding was that it had to be a separate service addon in order to run at startup.

I don't think that's the case any more. I was looking and the emby addon has a server+plugin architecture. I'll run a PoC first, but it looks like it's possible.

PoC running fine with both functions in a single install. Showed up on my ios and I was able to remotely start a playback. Probably just need to add some logic and a check for existing helper installations (and notification or disabling). but apart from that it should work.
I'll push my test branch to github now if you want to have a quick look.
