Help with app/overlay

[delos23]

I am trying to get youtube to just work in full screen with a way to go back to the main screen from the touch screen, I got the example for the idle screen to work, but i can not figure out for the life of me where to go from there. Any helps appreciated. Thank you

It will be easiest to do this using separate overlays and an application. One overlay will be used to display YouTube in full screen and the second one for the "Go Home" icon. Both overlays will be configured to appear only on a specific application (e.g., a dummy YouTube app).

You can create the Go Home button (in HTML/JS using the Hudiy API) based on an example such as go_back.html or simply use the go_back.html directly. The HTML/JS utilizing the API should be served via an HTTP server due to the Same Origin Policy - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/doc ... gin_policy.

Here is an example configuration:

applications.json

Code: Select all

        {
            "action": "youtube_app",
            "controlAudioFocus": false,
            "audioStreamCategory": "NONE",
            "allowBackground": false
        }

applications_menu.json

Code: Select all

        {
            "categories": [
                "Music"
            ],
            "iconFontFamily": "Material Symbols Rounded",
            "iconName": "music_video",
            "action": "youtube_app",
            "label": "YouTube"
        }

overlays.json

Code: Select all

        {
            "identifier" : "youtube_overlay",
            "action" : "youtube_app",
            "width" : "100vw",
            "height" : "100vh",
            "x" : 0,
            "y" : 0,
            "visibility" : "ALWAYS",
            "url" : "https://youtube.com",
            "controlAudioFocus" : true,
            "audioStreamCategory" : "ENTERTAINMENT",
            "visibleOnActions" : [
                "youtube_app"
            ],
            "staticPosition" : true
        },
        {
            "identifier" : "go_home_button",
            "action" : "",
            "width" : "7vw",
            "height" : "7vw",
            "x" : 0,
            "y" : 0,

            "audioStreamCategory" : "NONE",
            "visibleOnActions" : [
                "youtube_app"
            ],

I wonder where should the go_home.html located?

[wkl3968]

not sure why I couldn't load the home button. however, when tried view using the browser, I get to see the home icon via when loaded 127.0.0.1:12345/go_home.html. also the navigation keys like (1,2, arrow keys) are not functioning when it is on youtube. am I right?

External websites will not support scroll (1, 2) and d-pad (left, right, up, down) controls. Regarding the home button, the URL was likely unreachable from Hudiy - the HTTP server is either down or was started after Hudiy tried to load the URL.
