Script Last Mode:

In Script Last Mode, individual files can be sent to the Firefly. Any
content will be stored on the system (unless none of its files are on
the system). Any .tar/.fpl sent will be processed and played as long
as it has at least one content file on the Firefly.
Script Last Mode allows you to simply “send content” to the
Firefly to load it, without the need for a script. This is made
possible because auto-deletion of content is not performed, other
than the standard cleanup routine. See Firefly Storage Cleanup
Routine
on page 108 for details.
Whether all content is sent to all sites is determined by your head
end software.
Moreover, note that with multicast updating, new schedules and
playlists play immediately on the Firefly.

Be sure not to mix update files (.upd) with content files when completing
multicast updating.

Software Update Check

A software update check searches for any valid software updates.
If it receives a file in this directory with the extension “.upd” this
file will be copied to Firefly’s internal storage and executed. A
.upd file is a file designated for making a software update to
Firefly(s). For more on the behavior of each .upd file refer to the
software release notes that came with the update file.
If a Firefly receives a .upd file during a multicast transmission, the
system will apply the update.

WARNING

Do Not Reboot the Firefly during the update process.

The Status LED on the Firefly MZ will turn red and flicker indicating
that a update is in process. The SC does not.
