When I try to use piper to do any tts, it produces nothing. In Settings > Voice Assistants, the Try Voice button just produces a spinning circle that spins indefinitely, and network logs show that the GET request hangs on Pending. Additionally, I see that no mp3 is produced in the tts folder. The Piper logs show that an error causes no file to be written:

Any help fixing this would be greatly appreciated. Have I perhaps misconfigured something? I am pretty sure I followed instructions online very carefully, and I have already tried uninstalling and reinstalling things a few times.

I saw troubles with Piper like this.
To reproduce, i have to add satellite to HA, and when it is launching onboarding flow, it overwrites my settings for pipeline, oftern leaving voice field for Piper empty. If i try once TTS after it, Piper goes nuts and i need to restart it (but set the voice in pipeline back to desired). After setting voice and restarting, it starts working again.

Can you give me some more details? I am not exactly sure what settings you are suggesting I set to fix the problem

@exotic orchid Let me know when you have a moment :)

Go to your voice assistants pipeline and check what's there in TTS section. Check if you have Piper there, and if the voice is chosen.

#

First thing I checked, unfortunately: Both Piper and the voice are chosen there :\

#

That is, in fact, where I get the Test Voice button that I mention in the initial post that I pressed

#

I assume you mean Settings > Voice Assistants?

yes.
And you did restyart Piper after, right?

#

If so, it's different error then...

fickle thistle Nov 26, 2024, 1:09 AM

#

Yeah :\

#

exotic orchid If so, it's different error then...

That sucks; any other way I can debug what’s going on?

I have no idea... I'd try spinning up another Piper instance in Docker to see if it's your instance problem.

Are you running Piper in docker outside HA, or are you using the HA addon?

fickle thistle Nov 26, 2024, 2:04 AM

#

The latter

#

I have done some testing now; it seems if I manually download the .onnx and .onnx.json files into /data, it works, but I expected that Piper should try to download these automatically as needed

#

This is what the Piper logs show:

#

Which seems to suggest that the files downloaded, but I do not see them when I ssh in to look

#

Actually, so far, this has only worked for en_GB-alan-medium

#

Yeah, it looks like other models are getting me WARNING:wyoming_piper.download:Wrong size errors

#

Have I configured something wrong, or is something out of date somehow?

#

It actually seems to have nothing to do with what I have downloaded, because I removed them, and the above behaviours are the same: en_GB-alan-medium works, and nothing else
