Sonos Weather with DLNA Render

[faspina (Frank)]

My DLNA Render connected to Dlink Audio Extender just fine. But The sonos app is returning an exception.

.UndeclaredThrowableException @ line 419

I can get the sounds to play on the opening of doors. But the weather app is throwing this exception consistently.

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.
