rbutil - The Rockbox Utility needs you help !! (testing)

<< < (4/4)

Domonoky:
Hi,

the fix for the rockbox-info.txt was commited today, so the dailiy build will have it fixed tomorrow :-) Or just try a "current" build.  You can also write your Targetname into the file like: "Target: h120"

About the failing talkfile generation, it could be that the non-normal charackers causes this. Are other files and dirs correctly generated ?

EDIT:
There is definitly a problem with the accents in the filename, i just tested it.
I will have to investigate it.

another EDIT:
I have found and fixed the problem in SVN (thanks for finding it). To try it out, you have to wait bit till i/we can make a new build.

I grabbed the latest build and I've got the best voice file so far - but it's still not correct.

When it does voice menu option it appears to voice the correct ones but many are still missing.

For example in the Settings menu only "Theme Settings" is voiced. But in Recording Settings everything is voiced correctly except "channels", "browse ctg files" and "write cfg file"which are silent and "trigger" is voiced but is cut short as "trig" (which I would geusss is probably a problem with my set up). Within the Prerecorded Time option all the second values are voiced correctly but the off option is silent.

Would it help to supply a copy of the voice file?

I'm slightly embarrassed to admit this but anyway, I gave it a go on my ME machine with my ihp-140 and though it ran it failed to download the rockbox.zip.  I checked the proxy settings and told it to not use any, which should be correct.  It had originally be set to use system settings (which I suppose equates to the same thing really).  I even tried downloading it manually, putting the file in my temp folder, and told it to use offline mode, there isn't a software firewall getting in the way.  

I unplugged my 140 and swapped to my XP machine and it downloaded and installed the latest daily build without any problems.

Now I'm not surprised it didn't work correctly with ME.  I was amazed it ran at all to be honest.

The only thing possibly that I would improve is once done installing it also closes the window where you choose what version/build type to install.

Having spotted that there is a version 1.0.5 of the RockBox Utility I thought I'd give it a go and see if it solved any of my previous problems.

Unfortunately it hasn't but I have discovered that the problems are related to the Voice that I'm trying to use. The voice file I am using is Lawrence from Cepstral which gives a very natural sound  and I'm running RB Util in Vista Home Premium. The engine is Sapi TTS Engine and the encoder is the Speex Encoder.

If I try to generate Talk Files for the Music folder the process dies straight away with the message "Encoding of G:/Music/_dirname.talk.wav failed". However if I switch to the Microsoft Anna voice talk file generation proceeds OK.  I can however use the old Voicebox utility perfectly fine with the Lawrence voice.

If I try to generate a Voice File using the Lawrence voice I only get a handful of menu options actually voiced. Again if I use the Microsoft Anna voice the file generates OK and I can hear all the menu options. I was wondering if there are errors similar to the Talk File generation but they're just not displayed?

The Cepestral Voice is not some knocked together thing - it is a company Microsoft refers you to as a source for alternative voices.  Does the utility make assumptions about the voice engine that Lawrence doesn't comply with? As I said the voice works in the old school way with the Voicebox utility.

I tried Lame as the encoder and that didn't give the encoding error message (I had other problems instead which may be due to me not knowing the correct command line options). So it looks as though Speex has some problems encoding wav files from the Lawrence voice
