Firefly Storage Cleanup Routine - Visual Circuits Firefly User Manual

Updating Video Playback
4. Once all the videos have been copied to the Firefly, playback of
the new content will begin.
5. There will be a brief pause, or blackout, of the video just before
the new content starts playing. Note: The Drop & Go disc will
not eject automatically.

Firefly Storage Cleanup Routine

While you copy files to Firefly's internal storage, Firefly compares
the total amount of space required to copy the files against the
available storage space on the Firefly. If the Firefly player
determines there is inadequate space to copy a file, it performs a
cleanup routine to make room. This cleanup routine deletes the
oldest MPEG files on the system that are not used by any incoming
playlists. The criteria used to identify the oldest videos on the
Firefly is simply the date the videos were originally transferred to
the system (regardless of the media transfer method used).
System Software Update Process
If a CD/DVD disc fails to qualify as a Media Update or a Drop &
Go update, Firefly will next check to see if it is a system software
update. To qualify as a system software update, the disc must con-
tain a file with the extension ".upd". If such a file is found, Firefly
will process the software update, eject the CD/DVD and then wait
60 seconds before implementing the update and restarting. If no
valid .upd file is found, Firefly will take no further action.
