Yes. Your instructions say nothing about the commands used to play your generated tts mp3. I did find the command in a sample python script on a different page which isn't exactly self explanatory. If answering simple questions like this is too much support then I'm sorry. I am grateful for all the software you are willing to offer for free, but you give the impression you don't want anyone to bother you about it.
PS. For others interested, the command used to play the mp3 tts file is the following:
Code:btplay /mnt/xPL/xPLChumbyTTS/Cache/x.mp3 > /dev/null
i thought my instructions on the link were pretty self explanatory:
"xPLChumbyTTS responds to tts.basic messages, converts the text to speech to mp3 and sends an xPL message to the xPLChumby.py instance running on the target Chumby."
and later on that page:
"If you send a tts.basic message to doghouse-chumtts.family_room, it will perform a text-to-wave (dropping that into the Cache directory) and then run LAME to convert the wav file to mp3 (putting it also into the Cache directory). Finally, it sends an xPL message to the target Chumby running xPLChumby.py. The script then issues a shell command to play the created mp3 file. The path to that file is mounted on your Chumby via CIFS.
For example, add this to your debugchumby file:
mkdir /mnt/xPL;mount -t cifs //192.168.100.1/xPL /mnt/xPL -r -o username='user',password='pwd'
Configure the path in xPLChumby.py to point to the mp3 file. See the sample xPLChumby.py (link provided)"
actually, it proves my point. you want me to open source my hard work on panel builder so you can build whatever you want with it and you say i don't have to provide support if i open source it. yet, when i post all the needed information on how i did tts to the infocast, you only read the headline. yes, that page didn't have the command used in the xPLChumby.py python script, but isn't that the benefit of open source? you can just download the python script source and read it yourself. i'm sorry if you felt reading 1 page and clicking 2 links, which were provided, was too much work for you.
