mimic3 voices fail to download

I had some mimic3 voices previously downloaded in Speech Note before. However, on a fresh installation, I tried downloading a few text to speech voices and noticed that mimic3 voices are now failing to download. I guess the URLs changed?

For example, the UK apope voices:

Trying to download, I get this:

error

"Error: Couldn't download the model file."

If we look at the config.json (as an example), the latest version is at:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MycroftAI/mimic3-voices/master/voices/en_UK/apope_low/config.json

(Non-raw, GitHub UI version is at https://github.com/MycroftAI/mimic3-voices/blob/master/voices/en_UK/apope_low/config.json)

So, assuming you'd want the same commit (although it probably wouldn't hurt to bump it up to a new version), the URLs should change. Here's the working URL for the JSON (as an example):

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MycroftAI/mimic3-voices/b239a9084e21fbaa7ac78ea6e31f5de1c31c8f42/voices/en_UK/apope_low/config.json

The fix looks like it would be to change the hostname from github.com to raw.githubusercontent.com and to also remove raw/ from the URL (as it's included in the hostname).

I think the original URLs might still work in a browser, but that does redirects and I'm not sure if redirects are handled in the app.

Note: This may also affect more than just mimic3 voices, if other voices are downloaded from GitHub.

Many thanks for reporting this.

The problem seems to be related only to big in size *.onnx files. It is not possible to download them. Even git clone on mimic3 repository doesn't work. I'm receiving the following error which actually explains everything:

This repository is over its data quota. Account responsible for LFS bandwidth should purchase more data packs to restore access.

The problem is only with mimic3.

I've created this to report the problem.

I've re-uploaded all mimic3 models to my own repository on hugging face: https://huggingface.co/mukowaty/mimic3-voices

If you want to fix this without waiting for the next release, you can edit ~/.var/app/net.mkiol.SpeechNote/data/net.mkiol/dsnote/models.json file and update urls manually by replacing all occurrences of:
