The first time a video displays in the preview area there is no
animated sequence available for preview playback. Click the
Preview Button to have the Mantis create a short animated
sequence using thumbnail stills from the video. This animation is
stored and retrieved automatically for future previews.

appear along with a total of their combined sizes.

WARNING
Deleting Files While in Use by Current Playlist
This deletion process works for all media files stored on the
Mantis and it is possible to remove files required by the
current playlist.
If a file that is currently playing is deleted, it is allowed to finish
playing before the file is actually removed. The next time it is
called by the playlist it will be skipped.
There is no way to retrieve files once they are deleted .
