Squeezeplay hardware detection

[indifference_engine]

Hi,
Is it possible for a lua applet to determine which build of Squeezeplay it is running on please? I want to be able to detect whether the applet is running on the Duet Controller or desktop Squeezeplay and take different actions accordingly. I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find the answer.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I believe this will do it:
local model = System:getMachine()

Model will be filled with:
- "fab4" (Squeezebox Touch)
- "baby" (Squeezebox Radio)
- "jive" (Squeezebox Controller)
- "squeezeplay" (Squeezeplay Desktop)

To make this work, you will also need this line somewhere at the top of the file:
local System = require("jive.System")

If you like to know the firmware version, you can put a line like this at the top of the file:
local JIVE_VERSION = jive.JIVE_VERSION

The JIVE_VERSION variable will contain strings like "7.5.1 r8761M"

Thanks Erland, that looks to be just what I'm looking for. I presume it will only work with v7.4+ as jive.system didn't exist in 7.3 and earlier. Do you happen to know what class exposes getmachine() before 7.4 (I'm guessing Framework)?

Don't know, the Applet Installer in 7.3 seems to hard code "jive" in the source code, in 7.4 and later it uses System.getMachine().

There is a macToModel function in the jive/slim/Player.lua file, maybe that's something you could use if you could get access to the mac address of the local device ?

I'm only guessing now, there might be some better way to do this in 7.3.

Thanks, using the mac address might prove fruitful. Then again, I am considering dropping support for 7.3 which would make life alot easier.
