We need to force firmware updates from disc.

I'm out there with my HD-DVD demo and am always running into people who havent updated their firmware on their Toshibas...Its an awkward moment when your video rolls and your HDi doesnt...hehe ummm

. Of course when you update the firmware your HDi code plays fine...How far are we from having this feature implemented Peter Toshiba ...I think it will be vital to our more advanced stuff.

From my experience there has been a major HDi improvement with the Toshiba updates...mainly in the area of Xpath expressions. I just wish everyone was forced onto the same firmware short-bus.

Unfortunately there is no way to do that. Either bring along your own Toshiba player, or bring along the firmware update disc with you, or arrange for them to update it before-hand.

Yes, this would be great - but unfortunately, this isn't something you can check for.

While you _can_ bring your own player or upgrade disc along to clients, obviously, when you release your disc into the real world, this isn't an option. So, write your code in such a way to check for the existance of the objects and functions you need that might not be in older firmware versions. And, also, put try-catches around EVERYTHING - and do a nice little message to the user to upgrade their firmware in the catch blocks.
