2 Content Update Processing
When the Mantis detects a valid content update CD/DVD, it
initiates a routine to decide how best to process it.
1. The Mantis checks to see if there is an update packet
specifically targeted for it. This is done by determining if the
update packet filename matches the site ID of the Mantis. If,
for example, the site ID of the Mantis is set to
location1 , the
Mantis would look for a file by the name of location1.tar .
When the Mantis finds the file, it copies the file and moves on
to the playlist parsing routine, see next page.
2. If the Mantis does not detect an update packet with a name
matching the site ID, it searches for a generic package file with
the filename of
firefly.tar .
3. If this package is found, the Mantis copies it and moves on to
the parsing routine, see the next page.
Alternatively, instead of a package file, the Mantis can use
either a playlist (.fpl) or schedule (.fsc) file.
