Detecting FireTV, stick, etc...

SinisterSoft

Here is code to detect what machine you are on and set some globals so you know if to start facebook, cut bits out because the machine is too slow, etc...

local sub=string.sub   device={application:getDeviceInfo()} --print(device[2]) --print(device[3]) --print(device[4]) if device[1]=="Windows" or device[1]=="Mac OS" then pc=true elseif device[1]=="Android" then android=true if device[3]=="Amazon" then kindle=true if sub(device[4],1,3)=="AFT" then tv=true if device[4]=="AFTM" then slow=true end end elseif device[3]=="OUYA" then ouya=true tv=true slow=true elseif device[3]=="Geniatech" then tv=true if sub(device[4],1,9)=="GameStick" then gamestick=true slow=true end elseif device[3]=="HardKernel Co., Ltd." then tv=true hardkernel=true if device[4]=="ODROIDC" then odroidc=true end end elseif device[1]=="iOS" then ios=true end

If you know of any other device id [3] and [4] of slow (eg like an mk802 v1 or 2) Android devices then please add them in this thread.

Cool, did not know about game stick, will add it to:

https://github.com/gideros/giderosplugins/blob/master/StoreDetector/src/com/giderosmobile/android/plugins/store/StoreDetector.java

Maybe @MobAmuse could share the string about Google TV

I need to find the build-id for gamestick - It's made by Geniatech but they make other sticks as well. I'll report back once I've plugged it in again...

@ar2rsawseen I've revised the code above, now it will find all future Amazon TV devices (according to Amazon anyhow) and the GameStick variation of the MK802.

The AFTM is the Fire TV Stick btw, it's pretty slow but still at least 2x that of the GameStick!

I've updated it to detect HardKernel devices, specifically the Odroid...

The Odroid btw, is much faster than the Ouya. Perfect as an arcade board.
