• Platform-tools with ADB installed

  • Download: SDK Platform Tools

• ViPlex Express application (version 3.0 or newer recommended)

  • Download: ViPlex Express

  • Direct link to version 3.0.4.2001: Download here

• TB2-4G media player with power adapter, connected to the same local network as your laptop

• DISPL Android Player APK

  • Example used: Player-6.9.9s-ar-arm.apk (newer versions recommended if available)
    
     

  Setup Steps: 

  • The installation process can be summarized as follows:

  • Configure ViPlex Express

  • Install the player using ADB

  • Grant the player device-owner rights

  • Bind the player to the platform

  • Configure delayed auto-start

  • Each step is explained in detail below.
    
     

  1. Configure ViPlex Express

• Launch ViPlex Express and switch it to Async Mode: Settings -> Working Mode -> Async Mode
  
  

• If the TB2-4G is on the same LAN, it will appear in the connected devices list with a green status indicator, confirming proper operation and IP address availability.
  
  

• Activate Debug Mode by selecting the application window and typing selftest. A debug indicator will appear in the upper-right corner.
  
  

• Right-click the connected media player (e.g., Taurus-10000205) and select Debug Tool.
  
  

• In the Debug Tool console, enable ADB over TCP/IP by entering:
  
         setprop service.adb.tcp.port 5555
         stop adbd
         start adbd

• You can now close Debug Tool.

       2. Install DISPL Player via ADB

• Open PowerShell or your preferred terminal (e.g., WSL2 Ubuntu).

• Connect to the media player using its IP address:
  adb connect 192.168.1.164

• Verify the connection:
   adb devices
   

• Install the player:
  adb install -r -d /mnt/c/players/Player-6.9.9s-ar-arm.apk
   

• A successful installation will return the message: Success.

  3. Grant Device-Owner Rights

• Assign device-owner status to the installed player:
  
  adb shell dpm set-device-owner ai.displayforce.player/com.addreality.player.AdminReceiver 
   

• Confirm rights were applied correctly:
  
  adb shell dumpsys device_policy
  
  
  
  4. Configure AutoStart with Delay

• For stable operation, the DISPL player should start automatically with a 30-second delay after system boot.
   

• Enable Autostart via the control panel. 
  
  
  
   

• Set the startup delay to 30 seconds.
  
  
  
  
  
  Final Result

  By following these steps, you can successfully install the DISPL player on a Novastar TB2-4G media player. This setup allows you to run advertising campaigns directly on the device without requiring an additional external content provider or media box.
