    The device stripped Android OS version does not support the "Google Play Services nor Google Play Store".
    These neither can be installed manually.

    The alternative is sideloading going this way:
    http://forum.zidoo.tv/index.php?threads/skip-sideloading-and-install-an-app-store.96463/
    Disclaimer: It is regarded illegal/undesired by Google and may cause side effects!

    Sideloading popular additional streaming Music App's is reported to work in many cases.
    Will facilitate updating the topic main page myself here.
    Just report what was tested an proved to work fine and I will copy the relevant part to the list.
    I suggest to conveniently add a link to the APK that proved to work for you as multiple Android OS versions may exist. When you see my "Like" then it has been included in the list.

    DMP-A6 normally uses APP' versions for Smart-Phones as it uses touch control and not a Remote Control (+Voice) like common for Android TV based APP versions.

    Potentially Eversolo can use it to enhance the bundled/tested optional App's.
    I suggest to pin this topic making it easy to find.

    How to sideload an APK:
    - To sideload an app, download the APK (Android version of app installation file), then type your DMP-A6 IP address in your browser using port 18888 i.e. 192.168.x.x:18888
    - Copy the APK to any folder and use the File browser in "Cast Mode" to install it manually by just clicking on it.

    Interesting.
    Is api something you sideload? Someone mentioned using Qobuz api.

    An API (Application Program Interface) must come from Eversolo.

    Yes it is.

    But there can be improved sound quality using the official app. At least when comparing BubbleUPnP vs EverSolo control app the sound is a little different and i prefered the EverSolo app sound. Haven't compared now with Side loaded app but on my Cambridge CXNv2 streamer casting chromecast from official app clearly sounded better then using BubbleUPnP or Cambridge Audio own app. Also the EverSolo app have poorer resolution on album art. So could be worth for some but you dont need to put it on the list if you dont want.

    How does the sideloaded app uppdate to latest versions?
    They don't do it automatically?

    Can someone explain side loading to me?

    Sideloading is installing APP's manually bypassing the Google Play Store.

    RP is a bundled APP. Click on it under APP's and it will be installed for you (Cast mode) .
