Hey @ColtonYYZ. I’m starting to think the issue is with the file conversion process past v1.1.5-beta1. To test this, I would like to ask you to please:
chime_tts.say (with cache set to true) and note the path from the log messages.notify.alexa_media action using the file path from step 2Hi Michael. I think the issue is that you selected google_translate from the list of TTS platforms, but based on the screenshot you provided: you have the tts.google_translate_en_com platform installed instead.
Explanation: The google_translate platform is added via the configuration.yaml file (and supports translating from any language to any language) but you likely added the tts.google_translate_en_com platform via the UI.
If you open the Chime TTS configuration page, you will see in the list of the TTS platforms you have installed, in the Default TTS Platform drop down list. If you want, you can set it as your default and then skip setting it when using Chime TTS, or note the value and use it whenever using Chime TTS in the future.
All teh sudden Im having issues with Chime TTS Say URL.
This is the output:
{‘url’: None, ‘media_content_id’: None, ‘duration’: 0, ‘success’: False}
Hey Darrell. Thanks for testing playback of your custom MP3 on your Homepod.
Can you now please try the same action, but this time using the media_content_id value from the debug log messages from a call to chime_tts.say?
Remember to set cache as true otherwise the generated file will be deleted once the action is completed.
HI @Rich37804, i’m sorry to hear it stopped working for you.
Can you please provide me with a screenshot of your Chime TTS configuration settings, as well as debug log messages after calling chime_tts.say_url?
Hopefully I can understand from that what the issue could be?
Hi Nim.
OK, I turned on debug and ran the automation again.
Predictably, no audio (chime or speech) came out of the HomePod. The composite file generated appears to be: /media/sounds/temp/chime_tts/qhzx78in.mp3. When I paste that into the media_player.play_media and execute, it comes out of the HomePod perfectly.
Logs from this particular run are below…

Hi Darrell,
I meant to ask you to please try playing the media_content_id value, not the file path. Assuming the file is still on your filesystem, please test the following action:
action: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: darrells_office_homepod
data:
media_content_id: media-source://media_source/local/sounds/temp/chime_tts/qhzx78in.mp3
media_content_type: music
Mea Culpa. Sorry.
OK, did the following and it threw an error (latest log entries below - I think they refer to the issue)

Thank you for providing me with the additional information 
I think the issue lies with the folder path you have configured for the chime_tts.say action:
Please try changing this path to a publicly accessible path (eg: /config/www/temp/chime_tts/announcements).
If you are still having issues I suggest you upgrade to the latest beta release and then let me know if the problem persists.
Hi Darrel, I think we’re getting closer!
When running the media_player.player_media action, if you were able to hear the file by using the file path, but not the media_content_id, the problem might be that you don’t have the media folder listed in your configuration.yaml file.
Please check if you have a media directory mapped under homeassistant: eg:
homeassistant:
media_dirs:
local: /media
Thanks, Nim.
Yep, added that, but the symptoms are still the same. I both reloaded the YAML configurations and restarted HA.
Hang on a minute… does the term: local: /media refer to config/www/media? If so, my mp3 file isn’t in that directory, it is in /config/www/sounds.
This might be the issue! The local key in this yaml example maps to /media.
You need to make sure that the temporary media folder path in the Chime TTS configuration is a subfolder of a media folder, (eg: /media).
Hmmm. forgive my ignorance, but I’m a little lost here.
Currently, the temporary files are stored in: /root/media/sounds/temp/chime_tts (as verified using my SSL window)
So, I need to change this
to what?
Simply drop the “/media” part and just use “/sounds/temp/chime_tts”, (working on the assumption that “local” now maps directly to /root/media) ?
I guess I’m missing a key concept here.
Sorry, I sent the wrong screen shot (well, I took a screen shot of the wrong entry). Correct one below.
OK, now I’m really going down the rabbit hole.
In my simple mind, the path listed above seems to be correct, as (a) the generated mp3 files are actually there, and (b) we know that some (i.e. Sonos) files play OK
So, now I’ve added the “local: /media” entry to the config file, where is that pointing? /root/media or /root/config/www/media, or …?
As I said, really confused now
You’ve understood correctly. The local media folder maps to /media
I am not sure in what the issue is. My HomePod plays nicely, and our configurations appear to be very similar.
At this stage I’d suggest to delete the integration and reinstall it and try again.
Its creating the file at that location but not creating the URL to it.
Can you share the debug logs?
