stop automatic play option in elevenlabs about realtimetts HOT 11 OPEN

Bug, thanks for reporting. I'm currently not updating the lib.
Please exchange

                    self.mpv_process.stdin.write(chunk)
                    self.mpv_process.stdin.flush()

with

                    if not self.muted:
                        self.mpv_process.stdin.write(chunk)
                        self.mpv_process.stdin.flush()

in the elevenlabs_engine.py and it should work.

Thankyou for your response. I have created a branch : gayaani/realtimetts-refactor and added the changes, can you merge it

from realtimetts.

i think, this change didn't work well, after you merge the change , still it plays the audio file

from realtimetts.

Sorry missed set_muted method in the engine, should work with version 0.3.45 now.

from realtimetts.

sorry, after i installed the version 0.3.45, it is automatically plays the audio, do I need to set any parameters outside

from realtimetts.

Just testet it with 0.3.45.

engine = ElevenlabsEngine(os.environ.get("ELEVENLABS_API_KEY"))
TextToAudioStream(engine).feed(dummy_generator()).play()

Normal audio playout.

engine = ElevenlabsEngine(os.environ.get("ELEVENLABS_API_KEY"))
TextToAudioStream(engine).feed(dummy_generator()).play(muted=True, output_wavfile="test.wav")

With muted=True silent playout into test.wav here, nothing to hear.

So you did "pip install RealtimeTTS==0.3.45" and it still plays the audio over the stereo device?

from realtimetts.

Sorry, now it's working. But Why does the conversion process take so long when run it locally? Are there specific system specifications that could expedite it?

from realtimetts.

It's a realtime lib. It uses the same playout logic, so this is basically 1:1 realtime too. Outputwavefile is a special use case, I won't optimize for this (makes the code complicated and unclean). You could use every engines python libs directly to do this as fast as the engine can synthesize.

from realtimetts.

So you mean that, it is better to use elevenlabs or openai library straightly for this requirement right?

from realtimetts.

Yes. For only synthesizing into a file I'd use the APIs directly, because it's faster. output_wavfile parameter was only integrated to verify synthesis.

Thankyou
