Started with latest updates. Just now after it stopped working I noticed that no node was listed. Restating the NS restored the node and allowed the player to once again work. Also multiple tries to play the audio will sometimes start it working again. The pattern is that it will stop working after a day or two. I turned on debug , so next time I should be able to provide more information.

AP version: 1.3.8 Using audio output jacks.

IoX version: 6.0.0

PG3x version: 3.3.22

Thanks.

I downloaded the newest version and now it will not connect.  I have rebooted the EISY.  I have deleted the plugin and reinstalled.  I reinstalled in a new slot.  It just always shows "not connected" in the PG3 dashboard.  No matter what I do it will not connect.

What is the proper procedure to backup custom audio files stored in the eisy /storage/sounds folder, so that future IoX updates will be able to allow the AudioPlayer plugin to continue to point to the desired files saved in that folder?

Just upgraded to eisy and would like to use this feature since the upgrade broke the eventghost setup I had. I would rather put the effort into this new feature. Thx

I did find the PG3 login and see the plugins there. I will keep digging on setting this up.

Thought it would be cool to create a place (unless it already exists and I am missing it) to post URL's of stations you have configured.

I've tried restarting the bluetooth service and the audio player to no avail, any suggestions?

On occasion, when I try to play a file the audio player locks up and I have to restart it.

At this point they don't seem to be able to run independently. My goal would be to run one as a pager using speaker jacks that is connected to a paging system and the other for streaming via BT. I included the log of one that shows repeating commands when both are running. Both show the same repeating. Also if two APs could be run simultaneously I would like to thankfully request that the output type be saved. Thoughts apricated.

Thanks  Gary

Radio station URLs that end in .mp3 work just fine but the 2 stations I am particularly interested in streaming have URLs ending in .m3u8 and .m3u

The station ending in .m3u8 will play for a couple of seconds and then go silent, if I leave it for 30 or 40 minutes it may start playing. The station ending in .m3u will not play at all.

Any suggestions?

The station in question are:

The audio_t.mps  wont play because of an invalid output device. The non _t files and streams play OK. It may have something to do with BT not working after being idle for a period of time. The BT device appears to be paired but wont work without repairing. Thee BT devices share the same issue. The only solution I have found to fix the problem is to reboot the eisy.

Log of trying to play an _t file on speaker jack included.

Thanks

Is there any way for the audio player to work with LMS?

]]>43317Wed, 20 Mar 2024 04:03:24 +0000Version 1.3.0 Professional Released!https://forum.universal-devices.com/topic/43270-version-130-professional-released/ Hi All,

Version 1.3.0 is packed with fixes + very cool new features. 

Fixes

- TTS (Text to Speech) files that are no longer playable can now be played using the old mechanism. All you have to do is to rename the files by adding _t at the end of the file name. e.g.

hello_world.mp3 -> hello_world_t.mp3

In the majority of cases, this should work for both speaker + bluetooth.

Enhancements

- Direct TTS and translations using Google tts and Google Translate. This means that you can simply put the text in your plugin and leave the rest to the system: creating mp3 files, translating, and applying the correct logic for playback. 

To add your own TTS, simply add as many Custom Parameters as you wish. Please note that the format is pretty important:

The Key is of the format:

tts_<source language>_<destination language>_the name for your creation (it can include spaces). 

eg.

tts_en_en_hello world (source and destination languages are the same = English)
tts_en_fr_hello world in french (source language is English, destination language is French)

For a list of language codes, please see here.

The Value:

Any arbitrary text 

Future:

Yes, I know some of you don't like Google and cloud based solutions. Neither do we! So, we'll experiment with local TTS. 

With kind regards,
Michel

I have installed the Polyglot 3x plugins and started poking around and found myself wondering what to do next. Sorry for being a bit dense.

Is there some kind of tutorial or step-by-step guide on setting up and configuring audio and bluetooth and making an announcement happen? I looked and looked but couldn't find anything.

Set up the path to my music in the audio player and paired my bluetooth speaker.

Tried to play the "Example.mp3" and no sound. Played around a bit and now it is stuck as shown below even after a restart of the admin console. Still no sound!!!

Not sure what to do:

Do I need scene control for this?
