Overview of the Update Process
The following steps are typical of the Mantis updating process. The
Mantis:
1. Identifies the CD/DVD as either a valid content or system
software update disc:
a. If a valid content update disc proceed, see below,
b. If valid software update disc proceed to page 107,
c. If not a valid update disc the Mantis ignores it and does
nothing.
2. Determines best method to process the update content, see
below.
3. Uses the updating routine order to determine what type of file
it must process, see page 106.
4. Applies the playlist parsing routine to load the updated playlist
and the necessary media files, see page 106.
5. Runs the storage cleanup routine to insure that there is
adequate space on the Mantis for the new files, see page 107.
6. Creates a content log at the end of every 24 hour cycle, see
page 108.
