I have 5 setups running xbmc and was wondering how to differentiate notifications from them. My main pc has xbmcvista as the device name. The one in my bedroom is xbmcbedroom ect.. Unless the sender has to be just xbmc?
The sender is the program that is sending the message, xbmc sends messages, but so can add-ons, the addons use this field to specify who sent the message. Having the sender of xbmc messages as xbmc is important, only messages with xbmc as the sender can be guaranteed to have actually come from xbmc.
I think when you are getting notifications from different computers (this is what you are wanting to do isn't it) you would have to connect to each computer individually, and you would know that if the message arose on xyz connection then it came from that machine.
