Sending TTS via Snapcast does not play messages

Tarass_Gribuks · February 14, 2021, 12:14am

Dear All,

I am building multiroom with Snapcast. At present moment I want to send TTS notifications from my add-on for HA to mediaplayers in different locations. I run HA on NUC under Hassos, Snapcast server is ran on another NUC under Debian dedicated for computation purposes, where I run lots of other servers. Every client is a RPi4 with a speakers and a mic. I did Install clients and server and made these running. From Mobile app I can see clients online, they connect to the server automatically, when server goes offline I can see it no problem - there is no indication that something is wrong with the server or clients. I also tested clients speakers with ‘aplay’ to see how these work with ALSA and sound is played. But, when I try to run a test from the HA to send a TTS notification of simple type:

alias: 'Voice command, test'
sequence:
  - service: tts.google_say
    entity_id: media_player.snapcast_group_622aea4b_2a61_1eea_fdfe_7c2d6f8aeedf
    data:
      message: |-
        Test
      language: en
mode: single

no sound is played on ether of the clients speaker’s. Am I doing something wrong?

I see something is missing, because I do not see the actual player connected to Snapcast server, as in the case of Mopidy-Snapcast schema, but cannot figure out what exactly I have to add…

I also have installed Mopidy servers on every client, and run a ‘special’ instance of a Mopidy server on that NUC togather with Snapcast server, as the manual suggests, but do not see how these MPD servers correlate to the TTS I am trying to implement…

Would anyone share an experience with all of us?

Thanks in advance!

You can’t play TTS on the snapcast player, you can’t play anything at all directly on the snapcast player. You need to play the TTS/audio on a mopidy player that is a source of the snapserver and then change the source of the snapclients that you want it to be played on to the mopidy player that you chose to play the TTS/audio from.

Snapclients are not able to play anything by themselves.
You have a snapserver, that has multiple sources (e.g. Spotify, a mopidy player, Youtube, etc) configured. Snapserver makes these sources available to the snapclient and handles the syncing in the differwnt rooms. Now if something is played on one of these sources, the snapclients can play this sound by changing their source to the playing one.

Tarass_Gribuks · February 14, 2021, 10:56am

Yes, exactly as I have written above - I see that the part equivaletnt to Mopidy in Snapcast-Mopidy patern is missing, but I do not know what to replace it with - my general question was - what should I use instead of Mopidy to play TTS throught the Snapcast?

Or, If you know how to make Mopidy play TTS, would you share it with us, please, since, as I have discovered, it is a very needed topic.

Thanks!

Why use something else when you have already setup mopidy? What sources did you configure on your snapserver?

As you did above, but choosing a mopidy media_player.xxx entity instead of a snapcast media_player.xxx entity. I have a separate Mopidy Server instance for each room and one for TTS only.
When I want to play TTS, I change the source of the snapclients in the rooms that should play it to the source TTS (which in snapserver is configured to read the audio stream from the Mopidy TTS instance), then I play the TTS on the mopidy TTS instance, which in turn will then be played on all the snapclients that have TTS as the source. After the TTS finished, I change the source back to what it was before the TTS message.

Thanks for your help. I see what you mean, but yet cnnot figure out exact steps to be done. Theoretically I understand, that ‘pipes’ connect to a server. Every ‘pipe’ is used to write certain type of a data to snapfifo. I have to describe all ‘pipes’ in SNAPSERVER_OPTS, but practically I am still confused what params to pass to SNAPSERVER_OPTS… At the moment my /etc/default/snapserver file looks like this:

START_SNAPSERVER=true
SNAPSERVER_OPTS=""

So, as I understand, no ‘pipes’ are connected to it, so It will not play anything, since nothing comes into snapfifo. But what should I put there to make TTS write into snapfifo?

So, you say you have Mopidy instance to be run for TTS. What is the config for that instance to be used? Then I have to tell SNAPSERVER_OPTS it’s pipe parameters, right? What is the config for that pipe?

Thanks!

How do you run Snapserver on the NUC? As a docker container or bare metal on the machine?

Can you please show the configuration of the Mopidy instance running on the same NUC as snapserver?
Do you see any sources available on the snapclients?

Tarass_Gribuks · February 14, 2021, 2:21pm

As a ‘bare metall installation’, I start it from the command line calling a script

 /etc/init.d/snapserver start

Just now I have attempted to launch snapserver with different options,
ex:
SNAPSERVER_OPTS="-d -s pipe:///tmp/snapfifo?name=mopidy&sampleformat=48000:16:2&codec=flac -s pipe:///tmp/snapcast_tts?name=TTS&sampleformat=48000:16:2&codec=pcm"

but discovered, that no metter what I give as an option string except “”, the server is not accessible to the snapclients anymore…

I also have discovered, that in my /etc/snapserver.conf I have only one source declared:
source = pipe:///tmp/snapfifo?name=default

So I assume, my ‘general’ mopidy server should be appealing to this name somwhere in it’s config…

And the config for my ‘general’ Mopidy instance is:

wrong data was here

How to see the avaialble scources on a snapclients? What is the command for that?

Thanks!

I am sorry, disregard the data from the previous messages. It is all so confusing. I was obtaining that data using: ‘mopidy config’, but actually I should have used: ‘sudo mopidyctl config’. I am sorry If you have wasted some time digging into the wrong data. So the ‘sudo mopidyctl config’ gives this for the major instance:

Config looks fine to me.

do you see a file called snapfifo being created in the directory /tmp/ on the NUC with snapserver and mopidy? Do you get any errors in the snapserver or mopidy logs? When you play something on the Mopidy instance on the NUC running snapserver, do you hear the sounds from the snapclients?

Tarass_Gribuks · February 14, 2021, 4:48pm

Just now, I have changed the [http] setting for major mopidi instance from the
hostname = 192.168.1.246 to hostname= :: and after that my speakers started to produce ‘squiky’ sounds as if it is streaming from the cache… For Mopidy I have a chunk of messages from the last reboot as below:

After listening to strange noise from the speakers I decided to delete snapfifo file and create a new empty one with same name. Basically, now Mopidy main instance is sending me that message:

лют 14 19:21:39 tigraresidence-NUC10i7-srv1 mopidy[149712]: WARNING  [Audio-2] mopidy.audio.actor Setting GStreamer state to GST_STATE_PLAYING failed

Maybe there is something wrong with pipe settings? Or mopidy does not play mp3 and needs to convert it first? How is it working in your case?
UPD:
MaryTTS yelds same result however:

wav is not playeble either…

Is normal music working? How did you connect Home Assistant to the Mopidy instance to play the TTS?

Tarass_Gribuks · February 14, 2021, 7:21pm

Normal music - is stage 2,
I am at stage 0 at the moment…
I need to learn how to set the config to make the music content available first, I was thinking that TTS is a simpler test, before…
'>>>>'How did you connect Home Assistant to the Mopidy instance to play the TTS?
Maybe this is the point I am missing. Below is my config:

media_player:
  - platform: snapcast
    host: 192.168.1.246
    port: 1705
  - platform: mpd
    host: 192.168.1.246
    name: Multi-Room Controller
  - platform: mpd
    host: 192.168.1.247
    name: Dinigroom

alias: 'voive_command'
sequence:
  - service: tts.marytts_say
    entity_id: media_player.multi_room_controller
    data:
      message: |-
        test! 
      language: en
mode: single

I can see ‘Multi-Room Controller’, but it says status off all the time - I suggest it is because it is on only when playing, and it is not playing anything at the moment. But status of ‘Diningroom’ mpd - is always unawailable - this is RPi4… Why? Is there anything I am missing?

Thanks for your time and help!

I forgot to mention, I used this script to make snapcast run on startup. It has CODEC field for the server. Could it be the reason for file format problem?

Burningstone · February 14, 2021, 10:59pm

Are you able to access the mopidy interface through 192.168.1.246:6680?
Try playing something from the web interface of mopidy first and see if this works, then tackle TTS, TTS is more level 2 than music in my experience
Is the Home Assistant server on the same subnet/VLAN as the snapserver?
Do TTS messages work on other media players?

Tarass_Gribuks · February 15, 2021, 1:07am

‘>>’ Are you able to access the mopidy interface through 192.168.1.246:6680?
Yes, I can and can access every add-on I’ve installed for the Mopidy

No, it does not seem to work, I’ve tried to stream this:

using music-box extension, and the list of errors is below :

‘>>’ Is the Home Assistant server on the same subnet/VLAN as the snapserver?
Yes, they are.
‘>>’ Do TTS messages work on other media players
Yes, they are. As a metter of fact just few hours ago I discovered that VLC works pretty well (I needed urgently to TTS messages from my code to the endpoint to continue development of the add-on), but I did not plug it via Snapcast yet - RPi4 now each runs a VLC and plays messages no problem as a standalone mediaplayers. Do you think VLC would possibly replace Mopidy as far as multi-room is concerned, or It worth pushing with Mopidy?

Thanks for your help!

Ran across this thread as I’m working on mopidy and snapcast myself. I’m confused about why you have mopidy on each client. My understanding was that you need one mopidy instance on a server and snapserver and then on each remote client you only need snapclient.
What functionality do you gain with mopidy on the clients?

Tarass_Gribuks · February 15, 2021, 12:08pm

Hello there!

Thats the question I was execting for all that time. Actually, there is not much need in it, since following that draft:
‘https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2016/02/18/multi-room-audio-with-snapcast/’
after the sound gets into the snapcast posession, there is nothing Mopidy can do or should about it… So, technically, you need one for the TTS and one for the Music to make the system stop playing, making the output for TTS and resume playing. But another issue that this thing does not work in my case, and we are yet to figure out why…Is it snapcast or mopidy issue? From the logs I’ve posted it is Mopidy returning ‘no playeble content’, so looks like mopidy at the moment to me…

Burningstone · February 15, 2021, 1:22pm

That’s true if you only want multiroom. If you want to play individual music in multiple rooms and controlled through the snapclients (e.g. my wide wants to listen her songs in the bedroom, while I want to play my music in the office and the livingroom), you need one instance of mopidy (that is connected to snapserver) for each room.

Another way to tackle this is to have a mopidy or any other media player for each room not connected to snapcast and then pjust play the music there and switch to the mopidy instance connected to snapcast when you want multiroom.

Burningstone · February 15, 2021, 2:07pm

VLC can’t write data to a pipe as far as I know, so it won’t work with Snapcast.

Looks like the issue is with Mopidy. Can you try adding local files to the special mopidy instance and see if they play?
