the old "__metaclass__" has been ignored since the switch to python 3
this restores the metaclass functionality by updating it to the new
class kwarg syntax
* Fix mimic 2 long sentences
Fixes bug in the second and third chunking pass incorrectly by
concatinating strings with lists resulting in chunks of single
characters.
* Handle mimic2 chunking correctly
- Move preprocessing from get_tts() to a method called from tts execute,
this allows all parts to be spoken and the caching to work correctly
- Remove duplicate of phonetic spelling in mimic2_tts
* Remove the old single viseme message
Instead a single viseme message is sent
* Correct the spelling of viseme.
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viseme
* Remove debug print.
This was probably left in by mistake, removing to clean up the audio log somewhat.
* Refactor mimic2 to use the shared tts architecture
* Make sure the queue is cleared
- Add a convenience method grouping clear_queue and clear_visemes
- The start time is now set before the lock to allow multiple speech requests queued before the stop signal to also be cancelled
- Make sure the any pending TTS generation is cleared from the queue by calling tts.clear() when breaking from the chunking loop.
* Add new api command to send visemes as single list. This allows more efficient use of the messagebus and gives implementors flexibility in how they handle the visualization.
* Switch mark1 to use viseme_list
This is a step towards abstracting the idea of an Enclosure which ties Mycroft to the hardware that is running Mycroft.
- Move the enclosure API to mycroft.enclosure.api (previously was mycroft.client.enclosure.api)
- Move display_manager out of enclosure client to mycroft.enclosure.display_manager
- Merge EnclosureWeather into EnclosureMouth
- Wrap display manager in a class
* added asynchronous request to mimic2 backend to break up audio into chunks
* add chracter threshold
* refactored split_by_punctuation
* add punctuation function to sentence chunks
* fix spelling
* some more spelling
* added mimic2 in mycroftconf
* removed unused imports
The Mark 1 button press can now be "consumed" when a skill handles
the Stop command. When this happens, the button press will not
trigger listening mode. An additional press would be needed to
trigger listening.
This introduces the "mycroft.stop.handled" messagebus message. It
carries a data field called "by" which identifies who handled it.
Currently the values are "TTS" for when speaking ends or the name
of a skill which implements Stop and returns True from the call.
Also fixed a potential bug when the flag to clear queued visemes
was left set after a button press.
- Engines now specify if they support ssml rather than the configuration
- The text client strips out ssml tags
- Engines can modify tags via the `self.modify_tag` method
Add Python 2/3 compatibility
==== Tech Notes ====
This allows the main bus, skills and cli to be run in both python 2.7 and
3.5+.
Mainly trivial changes
- syntax for exceptions
- logic for importing correct Queue module
- .iteritems -> future.utils.iteritems when accessing dicts key value
pairs
* Allow audio service to be run in python 3
* Make speech client work with python 3
* Importing of Queue version dependent
* Exception syntax corrected
* Creating sound buffer is version dependant
- Adapt context use range from builtins
- Use compatible next() instead of .next() when walking the skill
directory
* Make CLI Python 3 Compatible
- Use compatible BytesIO instead of StringsIO
- Open files as text instead of binary
- Make sure integer divisions are used
* Make messagebus send compatible
* Fix failing travis
Re-add future 0.16.0
* Make string checks compatible
* basestring doesn't exist in python 3 so it's imported from the "past"
* Fix latest compatibility issues in speech client
- handle urllib
- handle encoding before calling md5
* Make Api.build_json() python 2/3 compatible
The isSpeaking signal would only be generated when the actual audio playback
started, but this could be several seconds for TTS engines like Mimic which
take some time to generate the audio file for playback. This changes the
creation of the "isSpeaking" signal to the start of the execute() method,
which should queue up audio and leave the signal set until the queue has
eventually been cleared.
When the TTS engine provides visemes to the faceplate, the information
passed along consists of the mouth shape and the duration to display it.
When the system get backed-up for some reason (e.g. the CPU is briefly
overloaded), the code would attempt to catch up the animation but would
still send the 'expired' viseme across the serial port to the faceplate
with no wait-time. This results in a fast-moving mouth to catch up,
which isn't very pleasing.
Now the viseme is passed along with an expiration date, so if the time
to display it has already passed then the viseme code gets thrown away
instead of being sent across the (relatively slow) serial port. This
allows better catch-up.
==== Tech Notes ====
Since the playback now is performed in a thread the curate_cache could
clean out generated speech before or in the middle of playing back the
queue.
This commit officially switches the mycroft-core repository from
GPLv3.0 licensing to Apache 2.0. All dependencies on GPL'ed code
have been removed and we have contacted all previous contributors
with still-existing code in the repository to agree to this change.
Going forward, all contributors will sign a Contributor License
Agreement (CLA) by visiting https://mycroft.ai/cla, then they will
be included in the Mycroft Project's overall Contributor list,
found at: https://github.com/MycroftAI/contributors. This cleanly
protects the project, the contributor and all who use the technology
to build upon.
Futher discussion can be found at this blog post:
https://mycroft.ai/blog/right-license/
This commit also removes all __author__="" from the code. These
lines are painful to maintain and the etiquette surrounding their
maintainence is unclear. Do you remove a name from the list if the
last line of code the wrote gets replaced? Etc. Now all
contributors are publicly acknowledged in the aforementioned repo,
and actual authorship is maintained by Github in a much more
effective and elegant way!
Finally, a few references to "Mycroft AI" were changed to the correct
legal entity name "Mycroft AI Inc."
==== Fixed Issues ====
#403 Update License.md and file headers to Apache 2.0
#400 Update LICENSE.md
==== Documentation Notes ====
Deprecated the ScheduledSkill and ScheduledCRUDSkill classes.
These capabilities have been superceded by the more flexible MycroftSkill
class methods schedule_event(), schedule_repeating_event(), update_event(),
and cancel_event().
==== Tech Notes ====
isSpeaking was lowered as soon a the tts had synthesized the audio and
not when the output finished. This commit moves the signal
raising/lowering to the tts instead of the 'mycroft.speak' handler.
===Fixed issues ====
#958
==== Tech Notes ====
Adds method clear_visimes() to voice playback thread to stop visime stream
instead of having visime stream check for signals.
==== Documentation Notes ====
NONE - things like description of a new feature or notes on behavior
changes
==== Localization Notes ====
NONE - point out new strings, functions needing international versions,
etc.
==== Environment Notes ====
NONE - new package requirements, new files being written to disk,
etc.
==== Protocol Notes ====
NONE - message types added or changed, new signals, etc.
* Check queue empty with self.queue.empty() instead of len()
* Add error logging of exceptions in tts thread.
* Limit the number of audio_output_start messages.
recognizer_loop:audio_output_start message will only be sent if the
queue has been empty since last loop.
The TTS audio is now cached. If the same TTS is requested again, the cached WAV and phoneme sequence is reused.
Major points:
* Created mycroft.util.get_cache_directory(). You can give this a domain, also. The mycroft.conf can define where this directory resides, so enclosures can have this reside on a ramdisk, for instance.
* Created mycroft.util.curate_cache(). This retains a percentage of the disk size free.
* upgrading gTTS
- using play_mp3 to play mp3 files
Conflicts:
mycroft/tts/google_tts.py
* Update gTTS version
* default to 'us-en' if lang is omitted
* Fix multiple sentence speech.
Wait until audio has been played before exiting `GoogleTTS.execute()`
- Initialize tts ws and enclosure at the main process
Note:
- This is a minimal change to fix the problem.
- The ultimate goal is to have a totally isolated TTS process which requires its own main and ws initialization to be developed soon.
