Firmwar 5.2 - CreateObject("roDeviceInfo").GetVersion()

I am trying to detect if a Roku has new firmware and has support for captions in the roVideoPlayer. I was going to do a test for 5.2, but i got 5.02? Can I test for that? Is there a better way?


version = CreateObject("roDeviceInfo").GetVersion()
versionNumber = Val(version.Mid(2,4))

print "version: ";version;versionNumber
if (versionNumber >= 5.02)
print "has caption support"
end if



'this is version variable?

5.2 is 5.02. They are the same. When you version your channel for publication on the channel store it works the same way. 5.3=5.03, 5.4=5.04, 5.10=5.10
