SoX - missing filename
Closed this issue · 6 comments
Hi,
I'm having some trouble running the googletts.
I got a 'missing filename' error, for both modes (cli and agi), in development snapshots or stable 0.6 versions.
./googletts-cli.pl -l en -t "Hello world" -s 1
/usr/bin/sox: SoX v14.0.0
Failed: missing filename
./googletts-cli.pl: sox failed to process sound file. at ./googletts-cli.pl line 169.
I also tried it with SoX v12.18.1 and got the same error.
Regards,
Rodrigo
Version 0.5 works fine.
Can you please send me the output of sox --help (i want to check the supported file formats and effetcs)
and also tell me what distro you are running.
If you try something like googletts-cli.pl -o test.wav -t "Hello world" does it write the wav file or it fails again?

Unfortunately sox is a big pile of shit. I was hoping that only major versions have a totally incompatible command line syntax but as it seems minor versions suffer for this too. Please try the latest code i pushed on the repo, it contains a fix that should deal with the problem you have in elastix (it defines the type of output in playback mode to 'alsa'). As for the ubuntu version of sox i ll have to investigate it a bit more.
It's working on Elastix now, and it's way more important to me than working
on Ubuntu (that is just a testing machine).
Seems that the libsox API is more consistent across versions than the CLI
it self. Have you considered binding your apps to libsox (using pysox
maybe)?
Keep up the good work :D

Good to know it worked.
