Interruptions during playback

[mschoenel]

Since version 1.0.18 it often happens that the spoken text in Amazon Polly is no longer spoken fluently. Longer pauses can be heard during the voice output. Is this possibly due to the new split function?

[Supergiovane]

Hello, yes. If the text is more than 190 chars long, it's splitted. Shorter texts are not affected in any way.

[mschoenel]

OK, thanks, but with Amazon Polly there were no problems with texts longer than 190 characters in the past, right? At least not with me. Now the voice output sounds very bad unfortunately.....

[Supergiovane]

Hi yes there is a problem, an old problem. The node saves the filename on disk and there is a maximum filename lenght. On wich system are you running nodered?

[mschoenel]

Nodered runs on a CCU3, a linux system

[Supergiovane]

Ok, the filename lenght's limit is 255 chars. I can increase a little bit the current 190 chars. Wich is the maximum lenght of the longer of your messages?

[mschoenel]

The length is between 50 and 260 characters

[Supergiovane]

Ok, in the next version, i'll try to increase the chars number to about 220 (i must leave some free chars, because there is a certain amount of tolerance in the splitting process).

[mschoenel]

Thanks, I hope this will help ;-)

[Supergiovane]

V. 1.0.19 is out with a slightly increased limit.

[mschoenel]

Thank you, I'll try this....

[mschoenel]

It works much better since your changes. Thank you very much!

[Supergiovane]

Good. Thank you to you and remember to star my node. :-)

[mschoenel]

Done => Star ;-)
