Premise HELP: media content file path is not case sensitive for server name?!?

I imported a folder containing some music under Media -> Content in Premise.
 
BUT, the FileName below should show "HTPC" instead of "Htpc" for the server name!?!

\\Htpc\flac\CD\Daft Punk\Random Access Memories\Daft Punk-Random Access Memories CD-01-Give Life Back to Music.flac

 
This really sucks as KODI must have an smb path with a case correct server name as I'm pretty sure it uses samba.  KODI seems to be fine with incorrect case for the rest of the file path though.
 
Any thoughts?  I'd like to come up with a workaround that will work for all cases.
 
It appears if you manually set the fileproviders directory path instead of browsing the network for the folder, Premise will honor the servername case.  For the example above, you'd type "\\HTPC\flac" and then let Premise scan for the files.
 
This isn't an elegant solution though...
 
The only elegant solution I found was to implement an auto library import function and write code to generate each Movie media content object, bypassing Premise's internal FileProvider import feature.  I'll eventually post the module for others.
