TTS to Google just won't work...need help

1

Problem

When I initiate TTS through a Google home media player, the mp3 file is generated but the URL to the media file posts as http instead of https.

If I access the http link locally, no page loads. I suspect that has to do with the https redirection in the conf file in apache2, but I’m not certain of this.

If I access the same URL but with https using either internal IP or external name, the file plays in my browser. So I know it’s being generated, but Google Home can’t seem to play it. It does make the ploink noise like it’s about to play it, but never plays it.

How can I get my Apache2 server to respond to http requests either internally or externally so the URL provided by Google Translate TTS is accurate -or- how to I change the URL that Google Translate is generating?

Here’s My Current Setup

Two systems.

primary name server is lamp server. (192.168.1.110)
secondary server runs HA supervised (192.168.1.101)

On primary, I have a virtual host setup as a proxy to HA. The conf looks like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName hassio.jongriffith.com
  ServerSignature Off

  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
  RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R,L]
<Directory /home/jongriffith.com/domains/hassio.jongriffith.com/public_html>
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
    ProxyPreserveHost On

    # Servers to proxy the connection, or;
    # List of application servers:
    # Usage:
    # ProxyPass / http://[IP Addr.]:[port]/
    # ProxyPassReverse / http://[IP Addr.]:[port]/

    # Example: 
    ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.101:8123/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.101:8123/

    ServerName hassio.jongriffith.com
SSLCertificateFile /home/jongriffith.com/domains/hassio.jongriffith.com/ssl.cert
SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/jongriffith.com/domains/hassio.jongriffith.com/ssl.key
SSLCACertificateFile /home/jongriffith.com/domains/hassio.jongriffith.com/ssl.ca
</VirtualHost>

If this was all on one server, I would be able to ditch the proxy and just use the port number, but alas, it is not.

I’ve tried adding ProxyPass information to the *.80 config in the conf and removing the HTTPS rewrite rules, but that doesn’t work either.

Any experts out there know how to solve this?

This is my tts section in configuration.yaml

is base_url what you are looking for?

tts:  
  - platform: google_translate
    cache: true
    cache_dir: /config/tts
    time_memory: 300
    base_url: http://10.10.102.30:8123
    service_name: google_say
