Connecting Hudiy to Wireless AP

Is there a way to configure Hudiy to connect to a Wireless AP.

For example, currently when I use the URL application to go to www.youtube.com I get a big red ! because it doesn't have any internet of course. But when I plug an eth port into the Pi it works of course.

Now I want to run the Pi inside of the car with a monitor and of course no ethernet :D

But I do have a wireless AP inside of the car to use as internet.

I just can't find a way to configure Hudiy to connect to a wireless AP in order to watch Youtube videos.

Hope I'm making sense in what I'm trying to achieve, overall love Hudiy and the flexibility!

You can connect your Raspberry Pi to your Access Point the usual way, for example, by using the Network Manager on the Raspberry Pi OS taskbar.

Next, you'll need to turn off the hotspot feature in Hudiy so your Wi-Fi card stays connected to your access point.

Finally, in the main_configuration.json file, you can add your Wi-Fi and access point details to use it for wireless Android Auto instead of the hotspot:

Excellent, thanks very much! That works great, something I did notice. When I'm signed into Youtube from normal Chromium browser, it is signed out when launching it on Hudiy. Same with Google.com...

Am I missing someting?

Also tried now just logging into Youtube, suspecting that the web cache is in a different location (hudiy directories) but I cannot type certain letters as it picks it up as keyboard shortcuts instead of keystrokes to type text in the field...

cache for the Web views is located in $HOME/.hudiy/cache/web. It is persistent cache so should be kept for any loaded website until you manually delete it.

Regarding keyboard, you can disable keyboard events handling in main_configuration.json (handleKeyboardEvents) https://github.com/wiboma/hudiy/blob/ma ... pplication
