RELEASE Generic Media Renderer (DLNA Speakers). Cheap Sonos Alternative (Update V2)

[ule]

Hi, I have found a work around the problem with Text To Speach function.
Smartthings plataform have problems to convert tex to to audio long time ago and they have not a date to fix it

A replace function calls a google service to convert on the fly.

If you are a user: You must to update the DLNA PLAYER device
And to use the modified smartapps with the new function. (I have mod some smartapps from smartthings )
This must to be a temporal fix until SmartThings fix the problem.

If you are a programer: You must to add the new function and replace the call of the old function with the new one on yours smart apps

Thanks for follow this development

Better an Reloaded Fix for TTS (TextToSpeech)

Hi, This is a try to work around the TextToSpeach function Problem, I have created a new function using Google TTS, Google API is now requesting captcha to use the function, but the parameters here avoid the captcha, I have tested and works fine to me. Google function have a limit to avoid abuse, but most of common users will have not problems, heavy duty users can be blocked for some minutes Update: Google have some problems with several request, they block for some time if you request frequently, I have found a great service, this service allows free 350 request per day, with almost not characters limit and great quality voice. You must to register to get an API Key, the register is so easy and you don´t need to answer the email to confirm registration. http://www.voicerss.org/re…
