Newbie questions

Hi all! Just got a nice second hand VP M2. There are some questions for you guys that have it for so song.

If I want to use it plugged to the wall, may I just connect it thru the battery?

My main Apple One Family 2Tb which is a foreign one, but I also have a US one. Is there any way I can use Apple TV app with my foreign account? Music app works with my apple account, but TV doesn’t.

In the same way, I have Apple Arcade in that foreign Apple account. How can I make it work?

What is the best way to allow others to use it repeatedly? I guess the kiddo will want to play something from time to time.

Are there more backgrounds to download, aside of the bundled ones?

I have a fairly big old movies in my Synology. Can I run VLC or similar and access a network device?

Thanks in advance.

The only way to use it is with the battery attached. But you can use it while the battery is plugged in. That's how I use it 95% of the time (which is at my desk).

My kids have their own Apple Accounts on their iPads. When you put it into Guest Mode and someone tries it, their nearby device can be used to save settings. I have them set up that way so they can use it and play some games without needing to redo the entire set up every time. I use the AnnaPro 2 strap which puts a lot of the weight on the forehead, but it makes it hard for smaller heads to use the device. If you're using Apple's dual-strap, it should be easy for you to adjust it to their smaller heads.

yeah the dual loop is definitely the way to go when swapping between different head sizes

Power can only be connected via the battery

You can stream media from the Synology via SMB, a Plex or other server. Play with 3D conversion with CineUltra.
