Google home TTS stopped working

Serg · September 21, 2018, 8:03am

I have exactly the same issue, feels like something happened to tts and google home after upgrade to 0.78. In 0.78.1 it stopped working completely.
However it works from the Google Home card.

anderstbl · September 21, 2018, 8:18am

I am still on 76.2 and TTS has also just stopped working for me

klogg · September 21, 2018, 8:18am

Mine worked yesterday (20 Sept) at 8:15 UK time (13 hours ago from posting this) but didn’t work at 8:15 this morning (1 hour ago).

I am on 0.76.1 (hassio) so don’t think it is related to the HA version.

pbu80 · September 22, 2018, 1:59am

Same here HA 78.1

kanga_who · September 22, 2018, 3:37am

I can confirm that the fix from here works. The process I followed on Hassbian to fix this was;

cd /srv/homeassistant
sudo python3 -m venv .
source bin/activate
sudo nano /srv/homeassistant/lib/python3.5/site-packages/gtts_token/gtts_token.py

Delete and add in the new text as shown in the link provided, reboot you Pi, fixed.

I manage to fix it using @TheFuzz4

Google TTS Problems

Sorry @kanga_who I would of done your fix but I don’t have HA running on a PI.

dustinshah · September 22, 2018, 8:54am

Had the exact same issue and solved by following benproiii’s fix by editing it in actions.py.

Serg · September 22, 2018, 11:16pm

Can confirm that 0.78.3 update fixes tts

Eagu · September 23, 2018, 12:34am

Well, I’m still facing issues after updating to 78.3. However, this time the errors are different. Please see the errors I get every time when I call TTS. On this regard, I did some search and it looks like several folks have been facing this issue. I tried few of the resolutions suggested such as remove https:// , port number and both at base_url. However, none saved me!

kanga_who · September 23, 2018, 12:52am

I would suggest removing the component, rebooting and re-configuring.

Eagu · September 23, 2018, 3:15am

Thank you for the reply Kanga_who! It was my mistake. When we had this TTS issue, I was editing the configuration for TTS and forgot to remove the base_url under TTS. After I removed the base_url, it worked like a charm! Thank you once again!

Eagu · November 29, 2018, 2:48am

Looks like something has changed on TTS from Google end. I’m unable to get TTS working. I do not recall on anything that had changed recently! Does anyone have this issue with the errors like below?

Thank you

Yeah, this problem started for me today too. I had not made any changes of updated for several days. My log is almost exactly the same:

Looks like Google changed something again - others are reporting the issue on the gTTS repo: https://github.com/pndurette/gTTS/issues/151
https://github.com/pndurette/gTTS/issues/150

Hopefully they’ll find and get a fix published soon.

Hi all,

Google translate token has changed again…
I’ve submitted a pull request with the fix to the gtts_token developer, but in the meanwhile this version works:

github.com

doruchan/gTTS-token/blob/fix_token/gtts_token/gtts_token.py

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import calendar
import math
import time
import requests
import re


class Token:
    """ Token (Google Translate Token)
    Generate the current token key and allows generation of tokens (tk) with it
    Python version of `token-script.js` itself from translate.google.com
    """

    SALT_1 = "+-a^+6"
    SALT_2 = "+-3^+b+-f"
    TKK = 'tkk:'  # the way the token is identified in page

    def __init__(self):
        self.token_key = None

This file has been truncated. show original

cheers,

Dora

ejosterberg · November 29, 2018, 10:47pm

Thank you doruchan,
I can confirm this is now fixed for me.

nVINCEble · November 30, 2018, 4:03am

how do we modify this on a docker image?

TimothyLeeAdams · December 1, 2018, 5:01am

Download the updated gtts_token.py file from @doruchan 's post: doruchan/gTTS-token/blob/fix_token/gtts_token/gtts_token.py
Open a terminal session on your docker host computer and navigate to the folder containing the gtts_token.py file you just downloaded and run the following command:

docker cp gtts_token.py home-assistant:/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/gtts_token/gtts_token.py

Restart your home-assistant docker container.

gbboy · December 1, 2018, 5:11am

Its fixed in the 83.2 update
