ok, you are running domoticz as root user and the installation directory is /home/pi/domoticz/ (this should be not a problem, anyway i prefer run domoticz as pi user)

in your button on/off action, can you add the "> /tmp/izsynth.log" at the end of the command?

example:

Code: Select all

script://izsynth -t "Welcome Home" > /tmp/izsynth.log

and paste the output of:

Code: Select all

cat /tmp/izsynth.log

Thankyou

[toreandre]

Do you have any solution for the problem i posted on the other page?

It works on my system, but it is a 3 second delay from when i enter the command to the audio reach my speakers so i can only get the last part of the sentences.

Hi,

just pushed the 4.1 version to github:

Update

Code: Select all

cd /home/pi/domoticz/scripts
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ugoviti/izsynth/master/izsynth -O izsynth && chmod 755 izsynth

Changelog

Code: Select all

# 4.1 - 20160509
# - added support for auto splitting sentences longer than the supported engine chars
#   each engine now have a TTS_LENGTH variable if engine usage is limited. This feature make possible to sinth very long sentences
# - speedup the synthesizing process avoiding intermediate convertion to wav format when not remizing o megamixing (this gained 500ms in 4 seconds playback)
# - more intuitive feedback when synthesizing
# - changed default engine to 'naturalreaders' and voice 'Peter' (english language)
# - restored google tts support (limited to 160 chars max)
# - added -r option for removing synthesized file after playback
# - added support for stdin as input stream, example:
#    echo this is only a test | izsynth -
# - ispeech tts engine addded (http://www.ispeech.org/)

Please, test the new auto-splitting feature if works for very long input text, and report here the problems.

Kind regards

Hi

don't know if it's related to the last update,but now the

Code: Select all

os.execute('/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/izsynth -w -r -t "'..message..'"')

that I have in a script instead of using the TTS engine and voice in the .config/izsynth.conf it uses a default english man voice.
If I run the same command from terminal, I get the right voice and engine.

izsynth is in $HOME/domoticz/scripts while the config file is in $HOME

Is it correct?

Thanks

[jmleglise]

Hi Jin,

Here's my feedback :
- There is still the limitation of 255cars. (File name too long). It's a shame.
-Thanks you for the -r option
- Can you check : izsynth -e fromtexttospeech -l
There is a special char that prevents the use of the 3th voice : (french, celine).

I'am looking forward the 4.2 with the 255chars limit removed

I "think" it's related to $HOME path management inside domoticz.
My installation works without these problems (rebooted some times my rpi and working out of the box on every reboot).
Anyway my izsynth configuration are in /home/pi/.config/izsynth/izsynth.conf
domoticz installation is in /home/pi/domoticz and it run as pi user:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ps aux | grep domoticz
pi        2158  0.5  2.9 191384 29432 ?        Ssl  mag07  14:35 /home/pi/domoticz/domoticz -daemon -www 8080 -log /tmp/domoticz.log -dbase /dev/shm/domoticz.db

I can't figure out because it works for you from terminal and not from domoticz.... can you make domoticz run as "pi" user? (remember to: chown -R pi:pi /home/pi)

Kind Regards

- Can you check : izsynth -e fromtexttospeech -l

This is an upstream problem, I can't fix, I'm sorry

Code: Select all

Jin, any idea how to stream the audio to a bluetooth speaker?

I like to choose where I like to stream the izsynth on every prompt. Of course default will be the local speaker output.

[Skippiemanz]

Have read the topic and Looks rally nice. Would be great if it could be streamed to logitech media server or Sonos!

Hi all,

just released a github update with these new features, updates izsynth as usual.

by default izsynth play TTS audio files using mplayer, so you can force mplayer to use a specific alsa audio sink in the following ways:

via configuration file: ($HOME/.config/izsynth/izsynth.conf)

Code: Select all

# default playback device
PLAYBACK_DEVICE="alsa"

or:

Code: Select all

# default playback device
PLAYBACK_DEVICE="alsa:device=bluetooth"

or via command -d option, example:

Code: Select all

izsynth -e naturalreaders -v Peter -t "Welcome home, mr Stark." -w -d alsa:device=hw=0.0

or

Code: Select all

izsynth -e naturalreaders -v Peter -t "Welcome home, mr Stark." -w -d alsa:device=bluetooth

to list all alsa devices, you can run:

Code: Select all

izsynth -D

so you can choose every time from domoticz where output your TTS messages

for bluetooth audio devices setup you can follow that domoticz wiki page: http://www.domoticz.com/wiki/BTAudio

please debug the new features and let me know

kind regards

[korniza]

excellent news! Thanks jin! I'll try it next days for feedback

Hi,

I discover your script and I plan to use it for audio messages

I will report here !

Hi,
First thank you for your script Jin, great work.
I've just installed it on my ubuntu server with Domoticz v3.4846, the script works fine in the shell but not from Domoticz (same problem as micbou.

Hi, I have a weird issue with izsynth and other tts related scripts that I've tried. There is no audio output via HDMI although I can play other files just fine. More info: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=10923&start=40#p88351

Any ideas where the issue might be?

Hi,

can you run izsynth with:

Code: Select all

izsynth -D

and change the output device for the izsynth.

for example this is my raspberry configuration:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/scripts $ izsynth -D
alsa:device=hw=0.0     bcm2835 ALSA
alsa:device=hw=0.1     bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI
alsa:device=hw=1.0     USB Audio
alsa:device=bluetooth01
alsa:device=bluetooth02

To playback to HDMI output:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/scripts $ izsynth -e naturalreaders -v Peter -t "Welcome home, mr Stark" -d alsa:device=hw=0.1

To playback to external USB Audio device:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/scripts $ izsynth -e naturalreaders -v Peter -t "Welcome home, mr Stark" -d alsa:device=hw=1.0

To playback on external bluetooth audio speaker:

Code: Select all

pi@raspberrypi ~/domoticz/scripts $ izsynth -e naturalreaders -v Peter -t "Welcome home, mr Stark" -d alsa:device=bluetooth01

with kind regards
