Tool doesn't work

[Swaggymcmuffins]

Hi all, I'm hoping someone could shed some light on my issue with this tool. I got as far as creating all of the files needed for the tool to theoretically work, and in theory it does work, just not fully. It imports the audio file onto the timeline, but does not create any keyframes with it, despite everything being "connected" to the right areas. I will try to add a short clip of this, if anyone has any idea what I may have done wrong, please do let me know as I really want/ need this tool to do its thing.

TIA -Pabs[

Hi! Can you please share the error log from the Maya script editor?

Of course! I do apologise I should have added it in the post, but here it is;

Did you install the other scripts as shown in https://github.com/joaen/maya-auto-lip-sync#dependencies ? "'mfa_align.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command" means it cant find the Montreal Forced Aligner tool. The script needs that and TextGrid and the lexicon ... fortunately (hopefully) these are a one-click install

I have the same issue. I've installed other files manually and then tried bat. Getting the same script error

I did yeah, tried both manual as well as the automatic one that is supplied in the files, had a more tech savvy with Maya person check them out as well and he said the referenced files are all there so he doesn't know why it wouldn't work.

Huh. why won't it see the .exe? Weird.

Some more checklist-type questions: What version of Maya are you running? I'm using 2022.4 is this what your documents/maya/202x/scripts directory looks like?

[Swaggymcmuffins]

I'm using maya 2023.3, I've attached my screengrabs as well, they seem to be matching yours, I hope that helps!

sorry I'm out of suggestions. maybe its a path or permissions problem? This is the point where I start flailing 😅
