Face detection and tts

Configuration

You have to find the arguments specific for your system,
I would suggest that you try from ipython or similar, to find the correct arguments.

it gives me error at position 38 … are there errors in syntax?

I changed into this, but still no sound

{
"entity_id": "media_player.vlc",
"media_content_id": "http://www.stephaniequinn.com/Music/Commercial%20DEMO%20-%2005.mp3",
"media_content_type": "MUSIC"
}

Hey sorry for the syntax error was trying to write that of the top of my head.

I’ll check the source tomorrow to help you further narrow down the error. Next step would be looking which python module HA is using and trying it in a python console without HA and debug there.

~Cheers

VLC cannot stream from URL. It can only play local file.

Dan,

I have the same problem. Could you elaborate little bit more on how to find the arguments specific for my system using ipython? I would like to send my audio to “BIG JAMBOX by Jawbone” Bluetooth speaker (I have the MAC address).

Thank you Dan.

I tried setting vlc, in the configuration
- platform: vlc
and call with

{ "entity_id": "media_player.vlc", "media_content_id": "/some/file/path/file.mp3", "media_content_type": "music" }
Note the small letter “music” and it worked through the speaker.
The key is to open and keep the log file in konsole
tail -f /home/hass/.homeassistant/homeassistant.log like so
before calling service and look for errors
