Hi,
I'm trying to setup speech announcements under Dianemo 11.10 and have problems. I remember from 10.10 and LMCE 7.10 that similar problems were present, perhaps they exist also on recent releases of LMCE.
I have following questions and would be glad to hear your experiences/opinions :
1. It seems that tts wav files are properly generated, but it seems like they are shortened when played as audio... Also if another speech announcement is triggered it overlaps with the first one - it seems like no queue is used here ? I'm not sure, but maybe generation of wav file and play media command are too close in time (?) :

2. I've setup two speech announcements and delay command for DCERouter for 1min in between, but speech commands are send one after another :

3. "Send Audio to Device" command for Text&Speech device has parameters I don't clearly understand :
# 254 Bypass Event (bool)
# 276 Dont Setup AV (bool)
Anyone knows some more details about this ?
4. When I try to make speech announcement during media play, then things get pretty messy. Audio stops playing, speech announcement is not heard at all, then media continues but media screen gets empty (no files in playlist), media floorplan has some empty colour rectangles and media button shows like nothing is played. Anyone with similar experience ?
It also seems that media is not paused, but after short interval, next song from playlist is played - with not enough time to play announcement:

.... and then really soon next song ....

40 ms is clearly not enough to play speech announcement.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Bulek.
