How to automatically start the AbleSign app when your device starts
Press the menu or up key on your remote control to bring up the Player Options menu.
Simply click the option to turn it on.
A quick note about web sites
Please ensure you perform the above procedure when your playlist is empty or AbleSign is showing an image or video. When AbleSign is displaying a website any button presses are captured by the built-in web browser.
That’s it! AbleSign will now start automatically when your device boots.
Fire OS 8

Android 10 restrictions
Google Chromecast and other devices based on Android 10 and above have restrictions in place as to what apps can autostart. You must grant the AbleSign app the special permission to ‘Display over other apps’.
If you are having problems, follow these steps to ensure AbleSign starts correctly.
From the AndroidTV home screen, select Settings.
Next select Apps.
Select Special app access.
Select Display over other apps.
From the list, make sure that AbleSign is turned on.
That’s it, AbleSign will automatically start when your device boots.
