It may take some time to resolve the name, specially if there are many
devices to resolve their names.

If you want to display the name you should probably wait until it is
resolved, a new DeviceFound will be emitted with the resolved name.

The names file will be created if it doesn't exist, you just need to
keep the discovery session active to be able to resolve the devices
which may take some time, again once it is done you will receive a new
DeviceFound with the updated name.
