      Step2 1000x100Installing OMNIplay

      We recommend installing OMNIplay by downloading the app via URL in the web browser. Optionally you can use a USB flash drive with the Android application package/install file (APK).

      1. Select Home on the taskbar to exit Settings. (Circle button on the bottom of display)
      2. Swipe up to view all apps and select Chrome.
      3. Go to the URL: https://databeatomni.net/dbap
        The OMNIplay[currentversion].apk file will start to download automatically.
        If Chrome requests storage access to download files you need to allow this and confirm OK to download the file.
      4. OMNIplay app file is now downloaded, and you need to open the file to install.
        Swipe down on the top right corner of the display to view notifications and select OMNIplay[version].apk. (Tip: You can press Download and get the option to Open existing file before downloading again.)
      5. Chrome will need you to allow installation of the OMNIplay app.
        Follow the instructions and enable Allow from this source.
      6. Select Back on the task bar. (Triangle button on the bottom of display)
      7. Select Install and wait for the app to install. Once installation is complete, select Open.
        1. OMNIplay starts up and you need to allow OMNIplay to access photos, media, and files on your device.
        2. You will then see the Configure page. We recommend rebooting the Public Display now and confirm that OMNIplay app starts up automatically within few seconds after reboot is complete.

        The OMNIplay app is now successfully installed.

          If the device does not start up with OMNIplay you should try to set OMNIplay as default launcher app in Android settings menu.

          Step3 1000x100Configuring OMNIplayer license key.

          When the public display is powered on, the OMNIplay app will start up and request a license key.

          1. Enter your OMNIplayer license key and press save.
            Please note that Beta and Local Server should not be selected for normal circumstances.
            If you entered the wrong license key: Double tap the touch screen, select the settings (cogwheel icon) and reset the configuration.

          If prompted, please activate OMNIplay as Device Administrator permission.
          If prompted with a notification, select "Got it".

          1. The OMNIplay app will download and start playing content automatically if a channel is selected and content is published. Doorsign information can require a reboot to start. 
          2. From now on you can manage the device as an OMNIplayer from DatabeatOMNI.
            The selected channel and settings are also managed in DatabeatOMNI.

          You have now configured the device for use with DatabeatOMNI with a license key.

          If you are setting up a Doorsign player, and need license keys please contact your DatabeatOMNI administrator, reseller, or support@databeat.net.

          You can find or order OMNIplayer license keys in DatabeatOMNI.
