loading finetuned xtts v2 model about epub2tts HOT 6 CLOSED

I don't think you're doing anything wrong, what you describe is exactly how I am using fine-tuned models. I suspect this is an issue with windows path names. The error is from TTS but possibly a result of how I'm specifying the path to the model.

I have never tried running this in windows directly (I run it in WSL). I'll try to install and run this directly in windows and see if I can recreate the issue, and go from there.

Okay thanks, I can also run in wsl as well if that's easier for the moment.

Edit: I may have figured this out, as I wasn't passing a wav file as I perhaps falsely assumed it would use the data it was trained on.
I've passed a wav file now and I assume the finetuned model is being used as there is significant improvement.

OH! I had NOT looked closely at your example of how you are calling epub2tts and I noticed a few things that could be impacting it. Calling it the same way you are, I am able to recreate this and I think it's because of argument parsing. I need to improve the error handling so it gives better feedback.

When calling "--xtts", the code expects at least one wav/mp3 file as a voice sample. Second, the epub or txt file should be the first argument supplied. Could you try "epub2tts sample.txt --xtts sample.wav --model modelname" and let me know if that works?

That's great, we're responding at nearly the same time, although I've just edited my previous comment.
I've figured this out now as it's expecting a wav file which I'm now supplying.

OK got this sorted out. Your initial call would now exit with this error:
"EpubToAudiobook: error: argument --xtts: expected one argument"

It is OK to specify the source epub or text file at the end of the line as you initially tried. I'm merging the minor fixes now. Thank you again and as always for reporting the problems you find, glad you are using it!
