Clean Install Strange Radio Streaming Behavior

[ifb777]

Installed GassistPi on a fresh raspbian install today and during testing encountered this situation: I edited actions.py with three local stations that I know to work well. Issued 'tune into radio one' and was greeted with silence. issued 'tune into radio two' and after an abnormaly long pause, that station started streaming. Then tried radio three and again silence. I Then ran Main.py in the environment. Here is the outcome:-

ON_CONVERSATION_TURN_STARTED ON_CONVERSATION_TURN_STARTED ON_END_OF_UTTERANCE ON_RECOGNIZING_SPEECH_FINISHED: {'text': 'tune into a radio three'} ON_CONVERSATION_TURN_FINISHED: {'with_follow_on_turn': False}

Radio Stream fails to play

#### Radio Stream playing OK ####

Notice that radio three is expressed as word and doesn't work yet radio 2 is expressed as a number and works as expected albeit slow to start the stream.

Anyone any ideas???

TIA

Further to this posting, I have just discovered that Main.py is now missing all references to Google Music Playlist, Album and Artist code. As this is a clean install cloned earlier today, I'm wondering if there is a part of main.py missing Input Please - I thought I was starting to understand this stuff. Obviously not TIA

sure to pronounce the command well? look in the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ae0iwJ62uaM minute 2:17

Granted but that doesn't seem to explain why one station is expressed as a word (three) and the other as a number (2). Mystified.

I'm still interested to know the answer to

1. The keyword for radio was updated to radio two updates back, but i forgot reflect the change in README, which have now been made. So you can say Play Radio 1 instead of the complicated tune into.

2. The three appearing as 3 and two appearing as two is the inherent behaviour of the Google's Speech to text conversion. Thats why we need to manually run the commands and then make the modifications suitably.

3. You are not missing anything in the main.py. I have just moved those parts into the actions.py file. Those lines are now under gmusicselect function in actions.py. Previously, the same piece of code was written twice, now its written once and called twice.

@ifb777 I had the same issue with the number /word problem, I fixed it in actions.py as shown below and now it works fine as it detects both words and numbers:

Radio Station links

Radio_1 = 'http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/bbcradio1.pls' Radio_2 = 'http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/bbcradio2.pls' Radio_6 = 'http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/bbc6music.pls' Heart = 'http://media-the.musicradio.com:80/HeartUK'

The number of station names and station links should be the same

and they must be in strict order relating directly to each other

stnname=('Radio one', 'Radio on', 'Radio 1', 'Radio 2', 'Radio to', 'Radio too', 'Radio 6', 'Heart')#Add more stations if you want, see http://www.radiosure.com/stations/

stnlink=(Radio_1, Radio_1, Radio_1, Radio_2, Radio_2, Radio_2, Radio_6, Heart) # If you add more stations above, then you must add a new station link Name in this list too

Also, in main.py I have retained the "Tune into" command and added a few alternatives including "Radio":

if 'tune into'.lower() in str(usrcmd).lower() or 'tune in to'.lower() in str(usrcmd).lower() or 'tune to'.lower() in str(usrcmd).lower() or 'radio'.lower() in str(usrcmd).lower():

Now it doesnt matter how I say it, just say "OK Google, Radio 1" or "OK Google, Tune into Heart FM" etc.

Hope this helps, Enjoy!

Firstly many thanks to VinceW31 for the excellent solution to Radio Station naming. I would never have come up with that solution on my own. To Shivasidharth thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I will put all of this together this evening and give these features a good workout.

Thanks again
