Identifying SageTV contexts

[wayner]

In my sage.prop file under sagex there is an enumeration of the contexts which includes, at least in my case, SageTV client, SageTV Placeshifter, SageTV server and the Android client.

Below is a snapshot of that portion of the file.

sagex/uicontexts/001d6a5dbe47/ip=192.168.1.59
sagex/uicontexts/001d6a5dbe47/name=BedRoom1		<-- SageTV HD200
sagex/uicontexts/001d6a5dbe47/type=Hardware
sagex/uicontexts/0023a50009cd/ip=192.168.1.50
sagex/uicontexts/0023a50009cd/name=TV Rm HD300		<-- SageTV HD300
sagex/uicontexts/192.168.1.141/name=192.168.1.141
sagex/uicontexts/192.168.1.178/name=192.168.1.178
sagex/uicontexts/192.168.1.89/name=Kitchen PC
sagex/uicontexts/192.168.1.91/name=192.168.1.91		<-- SageTV Client
sagex/uicontexts/192.168.1.94/name=192.168.1.94
sagex/uicontexts/305a3adfd37c/ip=192.168.1.98
sagex/uicontexts/305a3adfd37c/name=Brora PC
sagex/uicontexts/305a3adfd37c/type=Hardware
sagex/uicontexts/448a5b24ff26/ip=192.168.1.93		<--Placeshfter
sagex/uicontexts/448a5b24ff26/name=Office PC
sagex/uicontexts/448a5b24ff26/type=Hardware
sagex/uicontexts/475a4c5a674e/name=Mi Box Office	<-- Android TV MiBox
sagex/uicontexts/475a4c5a674e/type=Hardware
sagex/uicontexts/4b4c42554f58/name=Wayne's BB Priv	<--Android Phone
sagex/uicontexts/4b4c42554f58/type=Hardware
sagex/uicontexts/SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI/name=SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI    <--Server

Is there any easy way to tell the type of client as in: Server, Client, Extender, Placeshifter, Android? Or do I just have to infer this from the MAC address and context name? For example:
left(contextname,4)="001d" - HD200
left(contextname,4)="0023" - HD300
contextname is IP address - client
contextname = "SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI" - server
else - Placeshifter


And how does SageX get this info? And why is the name Hardware used on so many instances? Should Type be changed to one of {server,client,hd100,hd200,hd300,placeshifter,android}? Who is the owner of Sagex these days? Better yet should this be added to the core of SageTV rather than a plugin?

I know jreichen and myself came up with the sagex/uicontexts/ but to be honest, I have no idea how it gets populated, or what other fields exist, or what "type" means
