[BUG]: PiperTTS doesn´t show any model

[miguepollo]

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (remote machine)

What happened?

Hi, today I was testing PiperTTS and when it gave me the list of models to choose from: there were none!

I don't know if it could be my problem but in other devices it also fails.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Going into voice and speak and changing text-to-speech to pipertts

Since you are on Docker:

• What browser (web-workers are required)
• Any errors in browser inspect->Console
• Any errors in docker container

1. web browser: on one device safari and on other device brave
2. In brave i see this errors

This seems to be directly related to either the asset bundle download to grab a voice from the CDN for pipertts. THese files are quite small which then implies there could be a VPN issue that could be blocking these downloads. This is also not even investigating browser compatibility issues that could be related, but likely as I can use this in Safari and Brave right now.

When you go to the Pipertts settings page with console open you should see some console logs from the worker that are loading the WASM needed to use the voices in the list as well as downloading a voice to use for TTS. I would suspect that is the main culprit here.

right now. pipertts works with a voice in english and i want it in spanish. i can't change the voice because nothing comes out and half the time it says pipertts worker timed out. in the console it comes out like this: PiperTTSWorker debug event: {“url”: “https://huggingface.co/diffusionstudio/piper-voices/resolve/main/en/en_US/hfc_female/medium/en_US-hfc_female-medium.onnx”, “total”:63201294, “loaded”:63151975}

half the time it says pipertts worker timed out.

Are you on slow internet by chance? We dont keep the web worker open forever since that is a waste of resources (30 seconds)

The PiperTTS files are quite small, so you should be able to load them within 30s on regular internet connections

but when the model loads. (it take a little time) it dont let me choose model
