# How can I install the Xibo Player App on unsupported Android Media Players?

### Allow Unknown Sources

This setting is found in the Security or Applications section of the standard Android Settings tab.

This setting should be disabled after installation unless auto-update is required.

### Enable the Wireless Adaptor

The Xibo Player App needs access to the Wireless Adaptor to get the MAC Address to record to your CMS.

When connecting a Display for the first time, the Wireless Adaptor must be enabled.

{% hint style="info" %}
We recommend enabling this prior to installation so you don't have to leave the Player App during configuration. After the Display is connected, you can turn this off if it is not being used.
{% endhint %}

### Confirm Time Settings

Confirm that the Date, Time and Timezone set is correct for the device.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xibosignage.com/kb/player-app/how-can-i-install-the-xibo-player-app-on-unsupported-android-media-players.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
