Can't chnage the Media Receiver - it just creates a new one

Hi all

My Blu-Ray (Sony BDV-E380) is detected as "Generic Media Player". Some of the features are not working as expected such as thumbnails and having done some searching I figure the best thing is to try and change the profile to something like PS3 or Sony Media Player or whatever.

I also wanted to change my TV from "Sony Bravia" as although it is a Bravia Sony are claiming it supports video files such as H264 but none are showing as available to play.

Anyway the issue I have is that when I go into change the drop down and click "Save Changes" the list is redisplayed with the whatever I have changed against the MAC address but the item is repeated below with a capitalised MAC address and the original auto-detected entry.

So:

b0:48:7a:93:06:43 Generic Media Player 192.168.1.120

if changed to "PS3" shows:

b0:48:7a:93:06:43 PS3
B0:48:7A:93:06:43 Generic Media Player 192.168.1.120

It's like it just redetects the player again and overrules my decision to change it.

Can anyone help?

Simon
