Chime TTS - Play audio before/after TTS audio lag free

stormshaker · May 24, 2024, 2:48pm

Yes, I’m using OpenAI for the TTS, the alloy engine. It’s working fine until I add the Announce.

Rich37804 · May 24, 2024, 3:15pm

How exactly do you configure it in Chime TTS:Say? I have the OpenAI TTS integration and can get it to work by other processes.

jncanches · May 24, 2024, 3:53pm

Will try this. Thnaks

Rich37804 · May 24, 2024, 4:26pm

I figured it out.

jncanches · May 24, 2024, 5:06pm

That makes no difference
I wonder what params are used to build the faulty mp3 url

The url is http://192.168.0.2:8123/media/local/sounds/temp/chime_tts/1l5msr9p.mp3

http://192.168.0.2:8123 is the internal_url (instead of external one)
/media seems to be the media folder but whatever I set in the “media folder” it does not change
/local/sounds/temp/chime_tts/ looks like the “Folder path for temporary TTS audio mp3 files” but with a faulty ? /local/ prefix ?

jncanches · May 24, 2024, 7:42pm

Answering to myself I changed “Folder path for temporary TTS audio mp3 files” to “/local/media/…” and it worked

KrisHoobie · May 31, 2024, 2:44pm

Recently I discovered some issue with this integration after using the latest version. It was all working fine on all of my sonos devices but now it doesn’t play anything, no chime no message, nothing at all. It seems all fine in the log file, but there is no generated mp3 file on my system.
I had several from the past, deleted them all to see what was happening, but no new files are appearing, It’s driving me and my family nuts… because I use it for several announcements through the whole house.
This is the log file, hopefully someone can tells me what is wrong

Nimrod_Dolev · May 31, 2024, 2:59pm

Hi Kris,

Sorry To hear that you’ve been experiencing issues. You are currently running a beta version which is not ready for public release. I am working with a group of Sonos uses and hub to try to address these issues.

I suggest you revert back to the current stable release, v1.0.0:

Open the Chime TTS repository in HACS
Click on the ⋮ button in the top right
Select the ↻ Redownload option
Disable the Show beta versions option (it may take a moment to update the list)
Select version v1.0.0 from the updated version drop-down list
Restart Home Assistant

KrisHoobie · May 31, 2024, 3:14pm

Hi,

I followed the steps you mentioned, and now everything is working better again, still some issues, but these are fine for the moment. Looking forward to a new stable version with good Sonos support.

Have a great weekend
Kris

Happy Belated Birthday to Chime_TTS!

stormshaker · June 2, 2024, 3:37am

Just ran a few tests on 0.1.0-beta9 on my Sonos Roam.

The good news is, the Announce feature is working when no media is playing on the Sonos. In beta6 there were volume issues but those seem to be resolved.

Testing the Announce feature while media is playing though, still has a volume problem. The chime_tts audio will play over the media as expected, but then the media will increase volume for a couple of seconds before going silent, then playing again at the correct volume.

This is how I’m calling chime_tts:say -

service: chime_tts.say
data:
  message: The cake is a lie.
  chime_path: custom_chime_path_1
  volume_level: 0.6
  tts_platform: tts.openai_tts_alloy
  final_delay: 500

  offset: -500
  announce: true

Nimrod_Dolev · June 2, 2024, 3:52am

Thank you for the feedback @stormshaker.
Could you please also provide me with the debug log messages?

stormshaker · June 7, 2024, 12:21am

I’ve installed beta11 and did some testing. Good debug messages now, makes it much clearer. So I think what I’m seeing is:

Volume is increased in the Pre-play Actions if current volume is lower (good), but if music is already playing when this happens, it results in about 1-second of loud music before the announcement (bad). I have speakers in most rooms and they’re set at a low volume for background music.
Volume levels should be returned to their previous levels after playback, but speakers stay at the announcement volume (which is loud, the way the announcements should be)
Media should resume after announce (but at the original volume)
Nothing is actually heard if music is playing first. I can only hear announcements if announce: false. I can keep testing when I have a bit more time.

Maybe if the announce volume > current volume, pause media, volume change, announcement, volume return, play media is a better experience?

Thank you @stormshaker for your feedback!

I have addressed issues #1, #2 & #3 of your last post, but I am not able to test #4.

Could you please upgrade to the new version, v1.1.0-beta12, and let me know if these issues are resolved?

stormshaker · June 8, 2024, 4:43am

Thanks!

Looks like 1 and 2 and resolved, no more 1-second loud music and the volume is returned back to how it was before playback.

Let’s work through 3 a bit more, as it might be me misunderstanding.

When music is playing, and chime_tts:say is called with announce: false, the music is stopped, volume adjusted, announcement played, then volume returned. So the net result is music stopped and announcement delivered. Success Question: should the speakers be re-joined and music resumed?

If I repeat the same test with announce: true, no announcement is heard. So no chime, no tts message. The music keeps playing throughout, but the ‘lounge_home_theatre’ speaker was unjoined at the end.

Debug for the second test, with announce:true:

Nimrod_Dolev · June 8, 2024, 7:24am

I’m glad to hear the first two issues are resolved.

Regarding issue #3 (music playback is not restored when announce is set to true), I think I understand it differently to you (perhaps I’m the one who misunderstands?):

When announce is true it, audio notifications should be played with the currently playing music
When announce is false, the currently playing music should be replaced by the audio notification.

So my question is ultimately what is the difference between using announce and not using it? Happy to hear your and others’ thoughts.

Regarding the missing playback when you have announce set to true:

Clearly Chime TTS is able to trigger playback (when announce is false) so its another issue.
However I see nothing in your debug log messages which indicates what the issue could be, as it all seems correct (besides the messages regarding waiting for the media_players to stop playing - which is a minor bug i’ve already fixed for the next version).
Can you try the same service call, but set the join_players / unjoin_players parameters to false?

Solarflor · June 9, 2024, 4:40pm

Hi,
need your help!
Not able to complete the configuration.

I suppose it is due to the location of media that is not in the same location of home assistant, but I don’t know how to set it.

ColtonYYZ · June 9, 2024, 7:54pm

You’re right, it has to do with your Media folder. I do not believe Chime_TTS is set up to allow shared network folders.

Any reason why you can’t have a folder where HAss is setup to store your media?

See if adding the http:// in front of your IP address and replace :hassio_media with /hassio_media will help. Like this:

http://192.168.1.83/hassio_media/

I’m able to view the shared folder in my browser using:

file://10.0.0.55/Media/

So you could try this as well:

file://192.168.1.83/hassio_media

Solarflor · June 9, 2024, 8:25pm

It doesn’t work

ColtonYYZ · June 9, 2024, 8:38pm

Any reason why you’re trying to use a network folder instead of a local folder?
