Hi All,
I'm not sure this question is in the right place, but as best as I can tell, this is a general question. I recently set up a LMS server, and I love it. I use OpenHAB for home automation, and have run into a curious situation that I'm hoping someone here can help with. OpenHAB as a binding for supporting squeezelite players. It works well for controlling the system and playing anything that's on LMS. However, it also has the option to set a squeezlite player as an audio sink. This is very useful in my situation as I can have LMS stream audio over my entire home and OpenHAB can interrupt the audio and broadcast a message as needed (ie, "someone is at the door") and then resume the stream. Great system. However, when the broadcast is in WAV format, LMS just pauses the stream with no audio output. No problem with MP3, FLAC, or other formats. Since I'd like to have the automation system utilize text-to-speech, and that forces WAV files to be produced, it renders the system unusable. If these files are already in LMS as WAV files, there's no problem. It has something to do with sending the WAV files over http for transcoding. I have had a Home Assistant automation system user confirms this happens with Home Assistant as well, so it's not just an OpenHAB problem. In a perfect world, I'd have a text-to-speech system (in this case, Pico TTS) read a file and output the stream in WAV to the appropriate squeezelite player. However, I'm not sure what's happening in the stream that's causing this. I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction to find a reasonable solution to this situation. Any help is appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RipNCode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=69109 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110509 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
