Is it possible to have profiles or some such?

[S-F]

OK. It's a done thing.

[S-F]

BUT if you want to send the same speech message again but specify the "speaker" tag then you would have to use the hs.Speak command with something like this:

I'm not following you on this. What is it that you mean by "send the same speech message again but specify the "speaker" tag"?

[Blade]

It just means you could pass any other tags you want into the handler code and it will process them as s new speech message

OK. I think I'm with you. Sounds good. I think. ....

Try out 2.0.38

See the help web page for details on the new action tag
There is also a screenshot of the actions page in the help.

Let me know how it works

[Sireone]

Not sure if this update caused this, but now my Russound zones are not selecting via BLspeech tags. If I have this {Speaker=Office}This is a test, it plays on all my Russound zones.

[Blade]

I do not see why it would do. I made no change to the speaker processing.

[S-F]

Yeah. The latest update made my system not respond to the Sound special tag. The Speaker, Source and Volume tags are still honored. I haven't tried the zone tag yet though. I don't use that one much.

I've restarted my unit, it seems to start working. Sorry for the false alarm.

You restarted your amp?

[S-F]

I power cycled my server and my Russound amp and I still don't get sounds. Am I the only one here not getting sounds?

[Sireone]

I only tag I use is the Speaker tag which started working after restarting the amp.

[S-F]

Could you please do me a favor and try the sound tag?

[Sireone]

How does the sound tag work? Is it looking for a sound file? Based on the help file, it just says 'sound short name'.

"This is a sound short name that will be played before speaking the message. You must enter a valid sound short name or the tag will be ignored."

[S-F]

You just put a sound clip somewhere (maybe it has to be .wav? I forget) and point to it in BLSpeech and give it a title.

So, in BLSpeech, got to Sounds -> Add New and then give it a "Short Name" which the special tag will use to call it and then enter the full path (as in windows directory structure) to the sound. If you don't have a sound I am more than happy to zip one up here and attach it for you.

So for example, I have much of my TTS prepended with a chime that some good soul on the board ,whose identity currently escapes me. So in the list of special tags I just add "Sound=Chime" since "Chime" is the name I gave it in the Short Name field.

Oh Hell. I'll just upload it right now in case you or anyone else wants it.
