			== Changing the CEC name ==
			By default {{Kodi}} will present itself as <code>{{Kodi}}</code> to other CEC devices, this can be changed if needed by editing the config file.

			The file will be located in userdata/peripheral_data and the filename will contain CEC (on a Raspberry Pi running LibreElec it's <code>cec_CEC_Adapter.xml</code>, On Windows 10 with a Pulse-Eight USB adapter it's <code>usb_''"deviceid"''_CEC_adapter.xml</code>).

			To edit this file you will first need to stop {{Kodi}} or the changes will be overwritten when exiting {{Kodi}}.

			The layout of the <code>''"CEC file"''</code> is as follows:
			<syntaxhighlight lang=xml enclose="div">
			<settings>
			<setting id="activate_source" value="1" />
			...
			<setting id="device_name" value="Kodi" />
			...
			<setting id="wake_devices_advanced" value="" />
			</settings>
			</syntaxhighlight>

			To change the name, go to the <code>device_name</code> row and change <code>value</code> from Kodi to what you want.
			As an example to set the <code>device_name</code> to idoK the line would be
			<syntaxhighlight lang=xml enclose="div">
			<setting id="device_name" value="idoK" />
			</syntaxhighlight>

			Save the changes and start {{Kodi}}.
