How do I change the name of the Spotify Connect serivce?
I have added the “device environment variable” BLUETOOTH_DEVICE_NAME and the bluetooth name is fine, but the Spotify Connect service is not what I want.
I see the command in the “Spotify” container,
/usr/bin/librespot --name balenaSound Spotify xxxx --backend pipe
I would like that --name variable to be “Balcony” and nothing more.
Is there a variable I can change on that service from balena cloud?
Thanks.
I found it… Added the variable “DEVICE_NAME” under “Device Variables” in balena cloud.
Great job! Thanks for letting us know.

Hi there - this fix worked for me a while back, however, I have just set up a new application with some new Pi 4 devices and I’m doing the exact same thing as I did before… using “DEVICE_NAME” under “Device Variables” to name the Spotify connect device, but even after restarting the devices multiple times I still only see the long default string in my connect … has something changed with new versions where this fix no longer works?
Whoops… I totally missed this when I breezed through your recently updated docs… just found my answer. Here for anyone else that needs it - the new variable is: SOUND_DEVICE_NAME
Hey, thanks for sharing that info @soundboi. It will keep this thread much more useful for others that stumble upon it.
