Proposed change
Current naming of Plex
media_player
entities does not provide enough information, making it difficult to identify them and potentially creating many duplicates. This is especially true for users that share their Plex server.A user watching through a Plex Web client on Chrome would previously be named
media_player.plex_chrome
. Additional similar clients would be namedmedia_player.plex_chrome_2
,media_player.plex_chrome_3
, etc.This PR:
If the above client was playing from a shared account, the new name would now be something like
media_player.plex_myfriend_plex_web_chrome_osx
