Describe the bug

Over time the Device list on PrimeVideo becomes heavily populated with "joeschmo's ##th Android Device", making it difficult to track which devices have been registered on which days, especially if I'm in a fit of fix-it-now and do all the devices on the same day.

My TV got registered with its model number, it'd be really handy if the VOD could send the Kodi device name back to PrimeVideo during registration as I want to test the next Kodi version on the RPi4 but I can't figure out entry to deregister.

During registration a device name can/will be sent, but as far as I remember it is not used by the server. Here only the name belonging to the DevicetypeID is used. But only 2 different DevicetypeIDs can be used for registration, otherwise no playback is possible. I'll have a look at that when I get a chance.

Does this mean that PrimeVideo will only allow"XYZ TV" and "### Android Device" as simultaneous registrations, any others will stop everything or just the new ones?

If that's the case then maybe this "feature" won't be useful as I have the TV and 3 Kodis. Of course I can always deregister the TV but that could mean the 3 Kodis with different names might not register and play.

If PrimeVideo let me give each one an alias that'd solve the problem, but it doesn't look like they allow this.
