Hello,
Sorry to start a new thread, but I had another thought and since it is a request for calibre companion I thought I should move it into the proper forum. The
initial post and chaley's response are there, but in a nutshell I am running 11 instances of calibre server on different ports and would like some way to distinguish them in CC apart from memorizing the port number. It doesn't appear easy to implement in the server, so obviously it isn't an option there.
My thought was that perhaps a configuration option could be added to CC so that it could remember an "alias" for previously encountered mDNS strings and the content server choice could present those alias's rather than the mDNS string. This would require the user (me) to set up the alias one time, but from then on the choice would be more human readable. It would certainly help me personally choose the right library, but also help my wife and 14 year old who are not as tech savvy.
Thanks,
Simon
