scan devices

Hi, all!
If I use "--json-output" with "scan", I receive only one dev info, but "scan" return two or more.

Hmm, that's odd. Can you try again and paste the output here?

I have a theory. This may be due to non-unique device names. There will be an opportunity to check later

Work fine on another location with unique devices names.

Ah, yep! That would do it. This will be tricky to fix without breaking the API...

If I rename the devices using the TV interface, will that solve my problem?

[skorokithakis]

It should, yes.

Thx! I'll be able to check it out next week. After that, I will add the result here.
