Bugzilla – Bug 5919
Jive appears as "null" in the DHCP client list.
Last modified: 2009-10-01 06:43:16 UTC
My router is assigning an I.P. address to the Jive remote. When I look at the list of clients in my Belkin routers admin pages, the Jive shows up as "null," , MAc addr, i.p. assigned. Not a high priority, but it would be useful for the remote to properly supply it's network name when making the DHCP request. I'm not sure if this might affect having multiple Jive's on the same network.
Moving to 7.0.1.
Jives actually get names on SqueezeNetwork when you register with the PIN, and this name is persistent in the played editing interfaces, etc. Not sure if there is any equivalent in SC. We should be able to send such a name back to jive for it to use as a hostname when talking to dhcp servers. Definitely not an important item though.
Fixed in r2551, SqueezeboxController is sent as the hostname to the dhcp server. You can edit /etc/hostname on the device to customize the devices name. In future versions of SqueezeCenter should allow the Controller name to be set, and this will then be used. Assigning to Ben for this enhancement.
We won't have time for this in 7.2, marking as 7.3 enhancement.
r2551 is now reverted, due to bug 8984.
this isn't going to be fixed by 7.3. retarget for 7.3.1
Changing target to next release

Moving to the product SqueezePlay because this bug appears to apply to any player based on that application code. Feel free to move it back if it's specific to the single original product.
Reset priority before triage.
this is an administrative shuffle on priority fields to help make better judgment on the top end of the priority list. P4->P5, P3->P4, and P2->P3.
