There are two ways to install the sklera Player app on the device:

Download the latest version of the sklera Player app.
https://start.sklera.tv/app/android7/shimeta/download
Save the file on a USB drive.
Make sure the USB drive is formatted in FAT format (FAT32), otherwise the display may not recognize it.
Connect the USB drive to the AlphaX device and navigate to "Apps" > "Document" > "USB".
Click on the .apk file. The app will be installed.

Navigate to "Apps" > "Browser".
Go to https://start.sklera.tv/app/android7/shimeta/download. The app will be downloaded automatically.
Navigate to Apps > Document > Internal Memory > Download and click on the downloaded .apk file. The app will be installed.

After installation, the app starts automatically. If it does not start, run the app manually.
When the app is launched for the first time, it will request certain permissions. These are required for the app to function properly, for example to write data to external storage. Please grant all requested permissions.
Enable automatic app restart. This allows the system to monitor the app and automatically restart it if it is not running.

Navigate to "OS Tools" > "Application" and select “Daemons (Auto restart after application exit)”.
Select the sklera Player app from the list of apps.
Set the timeout after which the app will be restarted if it is closed. Make sure to set a sufficient duration.

Recommended value: 60 seconds.
If the automatic restart is set up correctly, the app name and timeout will be displayed.
Restart the sklera Player. Follow the instructions on the display to add the player to your channel.
