The installation procedure for Falcon Player (FPP) and the download is at https://github.com/FalconChristmas/fpp/releases/ . The image to be downloaded will be FPP-v*.*-Pi.img.zip where *.* is the version. The latest version at at the top of the page.
Support for Falcon Player is at http://falconchristmas.com/forum/
The FPP user manual is at https://falconchristmas.github.io/FPP_Manual.pdf

An updated but still incomplete user manual for the rPi-28D+ to suit FPP4.x rPi-28D-plus-user-manual-V1.1-prelim . The setup for the rPi-28D is the same with the exception of the fuses.
Jeff at Canispater Christmas put together the above review and guide to the board. The full video shows you some light tips and some info on what’s happening in his life. Note that the video shows an obsolete version of Falcon Player.
