Question

headless mode

Closed this issue a year ago · 13 comments

I need to use it in headless mode, I want to connect to server over wifi, so, can you add ability to change webusb to local usb?

The CarPlay node without audio example does what you need, I believe

it works if I disable

carplay.open()
caplay.reset()
carplay.close()

in CarplayNode.ts

Answer 7 · 2024-01-18T18:16:27.000Z

By doing that I would guess you are disabling all communication to the dongle. When you say it works, do you get carplay?

Have you set up the usb permissions?

Answer 8 · 2024-01-18T18:25:02.000Z

Yea, I have setup udev permissions

and carplay now worked (not bad at 25fps and 1920x720), so, I still testing it, because sometimes it disconnects

Answer 9 · 2024-01-18T18:27:07.000Z

I have android HeadUnit in the car, but for some reason official Autokit app disconnects often and no way to manage it.

That is the reasin why I use your solution (thank & respect) as autonomous solution with separate power supply (not from car builtin usb, I think it disconnects) and wifi access point

Answer 11 · 2024-01-18T18:30:43.000Z

so, the next question is the how to restart node-carplay app every time, when it lost wifi connection (command 1010) or for some usb error,
i think if it possible to keep latest PNG on the screen while app reconnects in background - it may looks good

Answer 12 · 2024-01-18T18:31:42.000Z

for now - restarting dongle connection programmatically causes same error: err: Error: reset error: Error: LIBUSB_ERROR_NOT_FOUND

but restarting via npm start - works

Thanks for your comments here @abuharsky. We can add an option that disables the built-in USB reset during initialization
