A docking system is presented for an ecosystem where multiple media players provide functionality according to the location of corresponding docking stations. The docking stations have locally encoded media player persona information that depends on the location where the docking station is installed. Once a media player is docked with the docking station, the media player obtains the persona information and configures itself to provide the functionality required for the location. The media player can restrict content as necessary based on the obtained persona information. Other features also can be incorporated within the docking station and media player assemblies to provide for proper airflow, isolation from vibration, or installation by unskilled individuals. A preferred ecosystem employing the disclosed techniques includes an aircraft in-flight entertainment system.

An in-flight passenger entertainment system has a first digital network, using fibre optic cables, for communication among components of a headend system including a data server, media controller, and one or more media servers. The in-flight entertainment system is coupled to an aircraft's existing systems through a system interface unit and a system manager unit. The components of the headend system are all coupled to a network switch for routing data within the first network. The network switch is also coupled to one or more zone bridge units, each of which is coupled to multiple seat electronics units. The zone bridge units control all communications between the networks. The zone bridge units and the seat electronics units together form a second digital network. All communications across the networks are transmitted as digital data and when necessary are converted to analog signals at the seat electronics units. Through passenger control sets coupled to the seat electronics units, a passenger has access to audio and video on demand, video games, gambling, telephone service and information services. An overhead audio and video distribution system is used to provide audio and video content as a backup to the video on demand system or as an alternative subsystem in zones of the aircraft in which there are passenger control sets with less than full capability.

An inflight entertainment (IFE) system receives power from a multiple of power supply units that each supply power to passenger seats in a multiple of multi-seat groups, wherein different power supply units supply power to adjacent passenger seats in each multi-seat group. The IFE system exhibits reduced power supply unit costs and incurs lower operational penalties in the event a power supply unit fails, and is particularly well suited for a wide body aircraft wherein flight attendant call buttons are integral with the IFE system. For example, where flight attendant call buttons are integral with the IFE system and a power supply unit fails in the present arrangement, every passenger still has access to a flight attendant call button associated with an adjacent seat, which can remove the requirement that passengers be relocated or moved to another flight in order for the aircraft to depart.

An inflight entertainment system and method for use therein reduce the loading time required to preload programs identified in playlists onto seat end equipment. Loading time is reduced by retaining programs included in playlists on seat end equipment across flights and making incremental updates to such programs to account for changes in playlists, rather than updating them wholesale for each flight. Loading time is further reduced by adding programs to seat end equipment for the current flight, where possible, by copying such programs from other seat end equipment, rather than copying them from head end equipment.
