### Creating a bug report/issue
I have searched the existing open and closed issues
#### Required Information
- DietPi version | `cat /boot/dietpi/.version`
G\_DIETPI\_VERSION\_CORE=9
G\_DIETPI\_VERSION\_SUB=0
G\_DIETPI\_VERSION\_RC=2
G\_GITBRANCH=‘master’
G\_GITOWNER=‘MichaIng’
- Distro version | `echo $G_DISTRO_NAME $G_RASPBIAN`
bookworm 0
- Kernel version | `uname -a`
Linux AlloPiMine 6.1.21-v8+ #1642 SMP PREEMPT Mon Apr 3 17:24:16 BST 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux
- Architecture | `dpkg --print-architecture`
arm64
- SBC model | `echo $G_HW_MODEL_NAME`
RPi 4 Model B (aarch64)
- Power supply used
Raspberry Pi 15W USB-C 5.1V 3.0A DC
- SD card used
PNY Elite 32GB Class 10
#### Additional Information (if applicable)
- Software title | GMediaRender
- Was the software title installed freshly or updated/migrated? clean install via allo image
- Can this issue be replicated on a fresh installation of DietPi? untested, but very likely
#### Steps to reproduce
1. clean install of allo image for rpi via image flash to sd
#### Expected behaviour
- in $ARGS (/etc/default/gmediarender), -f option should list hostname, or something friendly, i.e. “allo” or “gmrender” value
- is interface option needed? " -I eth0" …
- at present state, no value follows -f so the next option “-I” is interpreted as friendly name and interface option and value is ignored
#### Actual behaviour
- attempt to stream to the device using bubbleupnp, select device from renderer list, find obscure “-I” as newly discovered device
#### Extra details
- this appears to be a simple edit of the default $ARGS for gmediarender.service
- perhaps expose the config file path /etc/default/gmediarender in the webgui for easy access/edit
**EDIT** added clarification to expected behavior.

@MichaIng probably you can have a look as you are the master of the GMediaRender package 🙂 )

Thanks for reporting. It was intended that the hostname is set as friendly name, but I forgot that the `$HOSTNAME` variable exists only in `bash`, but not in bourne shell `sh` or `dash`. This should fix it: [v9.1 · MichaIng/DietPi@a0d3107 · GitHub](https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/commit/a0d3107)
It is also fixed on next DietPi update, if not manually done, with this command:
```sh
sed -i "s/ -f -I / -f $HOSTNAME -I /" /etc/default/gmediarender
```
