Hello
We are using WURFL to identify Mobile Devices and OS for Browser data. However recently we noticed that below user_agents are being identified incorrectly through API. Below are few samples. Against each user_agent are device and OS identified by API.
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0) Smart TV Others
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.2; Trident/6.0) Smartphone Windows Phone OS
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; Trident/6.0) Smart TV Others
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0) omBrowser/1.4 (Winamp 5.65) Smart TV Others
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0; BOIE9;ENUS) Smart TV Others
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0; EIE10;ENUSWOL) Smart TV Others
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0; MALC) Smart TV Others
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0; MDDRJS) Smart TV Others

Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/7.0) Smart TV Others
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 10.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/6.0; EIE10;ENUSMSN) Smart TV Others
All user_agents looks like device should be Desktop. Please confirm if there are any issues since its important for our Analytics team.
Thanks

Re: Smart TV and Smartphone Device Detection
Hi Gaurav,
Thank you for your post. To help us look into this issue and replicate it on our end, what language and version of the WURFL API are you on and what date of the wurfl.xml file is it using?
Cheers!

Re: Smart TV and Smartphone Device Detection
1)We are using Java code for the xml file available through scientiamobile.com
2)We use the urlhttp://www.scientiamobile.com/wurfl/hpsbh/wurfl.zip to access the xml file directly using the WURFL API version 1.4.2

Re: Smart TV and Smartphone Device Detection
Hi Gaurav,
The WURFL API v1.4.2 is more than a year old. Please use a newer version of the WURFL API for optimal detection. Here is a link to the WURFL Java API v1.5.0.1.
Thanks and cheers!
