Thank you for this tutorial. It worked perfectly! The first thing I did was use the browser to load the youtube website, log in with my credentials, and then play a playlist that I created with those jazz/lounge music with coffee shop, beach, etc. backgrounds. Then set it to fullscreen. Great to have in my home office while I work. Movies play well on it too. I'm going to try to install Plex.

Thank you, tutorial works well. I only found one problem. I want to use the clock as a night clock (and use my own melody, which the clock can't do in factory settings), I tried several apps, but the launcher always switches to the default screen after a few hours, i.e. the clock doesn't last overnight. I also tried three different lauchers, they always close any application after some time... Can you suggest any solution? Thanks a lot, keep up the great work.

Does the same process work on the gen 1 hardware? Edit: Dug out my old gen 1 device and the browser doesn't show on selecting the privacy policy. You can load a browser via the weather tab but the address bar isn't selectable so can paste in your own url. Maybe able to setup a proxy server to force a selectable redirection but given how slow the device is just switching tabs with the clock faces I suspect it be near impossible to actually run any apps
