Abstract
An in-flight entertainment system is described. The system includes a plurality of media players that are installed at fixed locations within an aircraft cabin. Individual media players are provided with a dedicated media data storage device physically coupled to the media player such that a playing of specific media requires local access to that media content. The media players are responsive to a centralised signal sent to the media players to effect a display of specific content items at that media player.
