Abstract: A method for temporary and local content release of digital data stored on a personal electronic device including a first personal electronic device authenticated on a server of an on-board entertainment system on board a transport structure or vehicle and a network connection between the authenticated first personal electronic device and the server is established. Media data stored on the first personal electronic device are transferred to the server over the network connection and are temporarily stored in a memory of the server. Some of the temporarily stored media data can be selected by a second personal electronic device, which is connected to the server over a network connection, and the selected media data are streamed from the server to the second personal electronic device.
