How do I retrieve the name of a Roku device - the name you see under Settings>About, the name that was defined under 'My linked devices' in the My Account page on Roku.com? I see there's a "friendlyName" field returned from port 8060, but it only ever says, "Roku Streaming Player"; that's not very friendly.

It should show under <friendlyName/> indeed. +1 for RokuCo to answer this.

So it looks like Roku does not make the user-assigned Roku name available. It must be either too trivial or not trivial enough to implement such a change.

I just noticed that the xml for <friendlyName> NOW has the name I assigned to the device. Only on 5x devices.

When is it going across the platforms ?

But honest. Appreciate the straight answer!
