The default mycroft.conf included some arbitrary examples in the
actual blacklisted_skills configuration. If a user attempted to
use a Skill that matched, it would be prevented from loading.
In cases where the location can't be determined by the device or a
config setting, the location variable wouldn't exist but it would still
be referenced.
This makes sure the variable always exists, but if not changed is equal
to None
Implement TTS module that works with Mozilla-TTS server.
==== Environment Notes ====
Requires a Mozilla-TTS server running preferably in your local network.
The hash sing makes it difficult to deal with the json file. Even using tools like [jsmin](https://github.com/tikitu/jsmin/) does not help since hashes are not supported. To enhance interoperability and consistency, they can be removed (also because only two lines use them).
Pulseaudio allows corking / ducking for streams with prioritized roles
This sets the role for the mycroft speech to "phone" and all other to
"music" if the config tts->pulse_duck is set to true.
Major refactoring of the skills startup sequence
- Restructure to a less nested structure
- Remove usage of globals by wrapping a lot of state variables into a class this allows for things like caching a negative pairing status throughout the startup process
- Add module docstring
- Add comment in the init class method about setting up the log level
- Add mycroft.util.log to the readthedocs documentation
- Add comment in the config about the log_level
* Restored ability to store wakewords locally
The code that handles the local save of wake words configuration -
"record_wake_words" - was removed some time ago. This restores that
capability.
Add the following to mycroft.conf
{
"listener": {
"record_wake_words": true
}
}
Then restart Mycroft. It should begin saving .wav files under the
/tmp/mycroft_wake_words directory.
The filename, will be filename structure is:
<accountId>_<engine>_<model>_<name>_<sessionId>_<time>.wav
* Add documentation for 'record_wake_words' and improve the doc for
'save_utterances'.
When the mimic2 TTS instance is created the phrases from mycroft-core and mycroft-wifi setup (if available) is generated and stored locally (defaults to /opt/mycroft/preloaded_cache but can be changed with the mimic2 config parameter "preloaded_cache"
On startup the cache will be copied into the cache directory to speed up default interactions.
* Deprecate self.config in skills
Skills should contain their own settings, the self.config concept is being
deprecated.
Also removed the defaults set for several old MycroftAI skills. The 19.02
version of these Skills initializes the default values using:
```python
self.settings["key"] = default
```
* Update padatious config to work with the config property.
- Move "save_utterenaces" comments to correct block
- Correct information, records utterance not wakeword
- replace "record_utterances" with the new "save_utterances"
