Description

In the Smart TV ecosystem, many devices include an "OMI" string in their User Agents.

In browser.yaml file you define this keyword as 'Opera Devices'
- regex: 'OMI/(\d+[\.\d]+)' name: 'Opera Devices' version: '$1' engine: default: 'Blink'

I actually don't know what "OMI" stands for but Opera TV was acquired by Vewd in 2017.

Then Vewd was acquired by Xperi (TiVo) in 2022.

After the Opera TV acquisition by Vewd, the system (not sure about the terminology) is called Vewd Core.
The Official Page of Vewd Core:

The documentation of Vewd Core (version 4.8 to version 4.23)
https://integration.tvstore.opera.com/

The documentation of Vewd Core (version 4.24)
https://developers.tivo.com/

The documentation says "OMI" stands for The Vewd Core:

Another documentation about that references "OMI" and "Vewd Core":

As I said before, I am not sure about the terminology but using "Vewd Core" instead of "Opera Devices" seems more accurate based on the references that I shared.
