TTS MP3 files being kept

[late isle]

Every time the TTS process runs, it leaves an MP3 in the config/tts directory. Is there a flag/setting to stop the build up of files?

you have a cache option for that, which you can turn off

I'll have to hunt for that.

The setting for cache is only on say or message. A lot of the MP3s are default responses for stuff like "What is the time?"

[sour wing]

Oh, you mean Assist responses?

So, if you invoke tts.say you can explicitly state whether you want to cache the generated audio or not. By default it's off
By contrast, when uaing Assist, all responses are cached and that's a good thing in my book (e.g. no point in re-rendering "turned on lights")

It's a good idea to make that a user-facing option, but you'd need to add a feature request for it. Indeed, time queries don't really make sense to be cached

I think there's also a service call you can run to clear the cache if you want

tts.clear_cache

Would be super cool to have that on per-intent level. I have morning routine message (weather, calendar, to-do), it's long and different every time.

[late isle]

What about if the file size is x then don't cache. That would cover the longer tailored replies.

[sour wing]

I think that logic is far more complicated than per-intent caching and far, FAR more complicated than Assist caching on or off

[late isle]

We do things the less complicated way? I must write that down to remember. 😜
