Ivona use transcoding chunked and this is a problem with MR devices, the players do not play with this settings, its necessary to preload the audio in other service and then delivery to MR device.
This new TTS creates a signed url and send the data to a proxy web server to make it compatible with most of the MR devices, in this way your api key is always secure and its not necessary to share it.
I cant find any other way to make it compatible with the MR, if you have a android MR device this is not necessary, Android can use transcoding chunked without problem but all others MR can not play it without the proxy
I have added the proxy urbansa.com, I think no many people going to use it, but if iĀ“m wrong it can overload, lets go to test
Hi @BristolBaz, could you give me more info
1.- what speaker do you have?
2.- Are you using Media renderer or other device type?
3.- Voice RSS or SmartThings works fine without delay?
Iāve signed up for the new TTS engine, however Media Renderer Events seems to not save as it wants a radio tunes details, all I want to do is put in a message?
Iāve tried the fix you suggested and Iām getting this error in the live logging with nothing playing:

It also states when pressed on the app āUnable to play this trackā.
I was able to get this to work however I can not get message to work.
Action-radio tune-works

Action-message donāt work
Under āPlay this messageā I type āTerrance Door Openā-do I need to coffeey it differently? My trigger is open close sensor.
Hi @vicjagsingh, SmartThings text to speech function have some problems, I suggest you to use some of the alternatives, please sign up to voice rss and get your api key, once you have write the api key your message will play fine.
This looked like a tempting option since the alternative āBig Talkerā SmartApp isnāt working as intended for me but after reading through the 31 posts so far, this option doesnāt seem any better and far more complicated for TTS what is just what I want, no radio stations or anything.
I do want to say that I greatly appreciate the work they are all trying as alternatives to the broken ST TTS and Iām disgusted that ST still hasnāt fixed this issue that has been around across several threads for a very long time.
I tried your SmartApp because I just want to play a specified track stored on my local Synology NAS server when a certain SmartThings event occurs. It seems to me this should be much quicker than going out to the internet and I could easily download or prerecord tracks that I want to use. However your App only seems to cater for playing a track from a radio station.
Is there any chance you could provide an option to play a track stored on a NAS, either directly by folder/filename or by sending it through DLNA from the NAS DLNA server specified by the user to the DLNA renderer.
(PS where are the predefined sounds (barking dogs, bell etc) coming from ? are they stored on a server on the internet, or are they stored on the SmartHub, or somewhere else ?)
@Spinny - Iām looking for the same thing. Right now Iām trying the āspeaker controlā app. It will play the ātrackā which is current on your DLNA queue - so if you set it up that would be your preferred track. Also, yes the Sonos ādog barkā etc comes from Amazon, so itās slow.
@ule - since 1/1/2016, Radiotunes no longer allows streaming from the non-webapp, so thatās too bad. I had it set up to play xmas songs when I came home, but it wonāt do it now other than send an announcement about their change in streaming policy. Oh well.
Hi @Patrick_Callahan, sorry to hear about that, I have premium account and I have not that message, I have tried the test account and now I known about the problem, IĀ“m going to decide if I remove the Radio Tunes features or I leave it to premium users, If you known about other radio station online like RT, I could try to add to this smartApp,
OK, Iām sure I am just clueless about this whole thing, but here goesā¦
I managed to load the code from Github, and was able to discover LG LAS751 sound bar, LG H5 speaker and 2 LGh3 speakers. But how do I attach it to radio, or text to speech to get sound?
I have Media render in smart apps
I have Sonos Weather in Smart apps
I also have talking alarm in smart apps
but I donāt understand where it should get the actual music/speech files from or how to set it up. Iām going on 3 days of ready forums without discovering what most likely is right in front of my faceā¦
HI havoc, The Media Renderer Device allows you to send mp3 files to your speakers, the files are sent by several smart apps like media renderer events apps, If you want to send music you can do it with several ios or andorid apps like Denon , or technics aps, the Mediarenderer device app will store all music you play and you can select it to play when something happens. This device is not a playlist manager you can not list your dlna servers on it, it just allow to send the mp3 links fle to your speakers and resume the music you are playing, not all dlna controllers works with ST, i suggest you to read the instructions in Media renderer player topic
Thanks @ule I will go through the instructions againā¦
I guess my question is from the file source for Sonos - I received a message on SmartThings iOS app for my good morning alarm from Talking Alarm, but nothing came through the speaker (it does show in activity feed that the speaker volume level changed to 50 then a āTalking Alarmā entry).
Iāll read some more and tinker with it when I get homeā¦
I got the welcome message this morningā¦ guess the speaker needs to be active for the alarm stuff to workā¦ still not getting any sonos functions, but I donāt need most of the stuff they offer anyway. Going to continue to trouble shoot to better understand the system though.
You can add these speakers to the tested and working list -
