How to change the CEC name

[Ainsley]

How can I change the name reported to CEC?
I would like to change OSMC to Vero.

You would have to do it at the command line…

nano ~/.kodi/userdata/peripheral_data/cec_CEC_Adapter.xml

and change “OSMC” in this line…
<setting id="device_name" value="OSMC"/>
to whatever you want the name to show up as. You would then ctrl+x, y, and then enter to save and exit nano. It should show up after a reboot.

It seems like changes to this file do not persist a reboot.

Try stop Kodi first (sudo systemctl stop mediacenter)

That did it.

Thanks to both of you.
