Abstract: A method to receive media service application program into a media playback device includes scanning a quick response (QR) code containing a universal resource locator of a first server and an identifier of the media player device. The first server is accessed and a universal resource locator is provided to the media playback device to download an appropriate media service application for the media playback device from a second server. The media playback device installs the media service application and configures it for operation by a user. Multiple media services may be encoded in a QR code for a single media playback device. Multiple media playback devices may be associated with a single media service on a QR code.
