Google Text to Speech – words not read after break - google-cloud-platform

I'm trying to get Google TTS to read aloud a short set of words and pause between each word. An example of the kind of SSML I send to the Google Cloud:
<speak>chaume<break time="3s"/> cuivré, relatif au cuivre</speak>
The first word gets read, then the voice pauses for three seconds, but everything that comes after gets dropped down. I have successfully had TTS read longer sentences that contained breaks, such as this one, with identical code:
<speak>Se pure vagolavano allora per una Parma stupenda, prima dello <break time="3s"/>scempio della Bassa dei Magnani orrendamente ricostruita.</speak>
There does not seam to be any difference between the two samples, what is it that goes wrong with the first one?
My very slightly customized version of the synthesizing function is the following:
def synthesize_text(ssml_text,file_name,tts_lang,tts_voice_name):
"""Synthesizes speech from the input string of text."""
client = texttospeech.TextToSpeechClient(credentials=credentials)
input_text = texttospeech.SynthesisInput(ssml=ssml_text)
# Note: the voice can also be specified by name.
# Names of voices can be retrieved with client.list_voices().
voice = texttospeech.VoiceSelectionParams(
language_code=tts_lang,
name=tts_voice_name,
ssml_gender=texttospeech.SsmlVoiceGender.FEMALE,
)
audio_config = texttospeech.AudioConfig(
audio_encoding=texttospeech.AudioEncoding.MP3
)
response = client.synthesize_speech(
request={"input": input_text, "voice": voice, "audio_config": audio_config}
)
# The response's audio_content is binary.
with open(f"{home}/Documents/{file_name}.mp3", "wb") as out:
out.write(response.audio_content)

Well it proved enough to delete the following lines:
name=tts_voice_name,
ssml_gender=texttospeech.SsmlVoiceGender.FEMALE
The voice_name was fr-FR-Standard-A, a WaveNet voice. Whereas the language code was fr-CA. I'm quite sure the discrepancy caused the strange behaviour.

C++. I want to save a specific line of characters, that change, in a string

I run a command in CMD through my C++ app which saves the output from that command. In that output, there is a port number and a remote API token, that changes upon each restart of the application im targeting.
This is the output I'm getting through my CMD command, which I store in a string:
"C:/Riot Games/League of Legends/LeagueClientUx.exe" "--riotclient-auth-token=5NFOIOqKB9EfSVsxBMrFUw" "--riotclient-app-port=63498" "--no-rads" "--disable-self-update" "--region=EUW" "--locale=en_GB" "--remoting-auth-token=***vx5yZOk_TkAt9YKq-PEucw***" "--respawn-command=LeagueClient.exe" "--respawn-display-name=League of Legends" "--app-port=63530" "--install-directory=C:\Riot Games\League of Legends" "--app-name=LeagueClient" "--ux-name=LeagueClientUx" "--ux-helper-name=LeagueClientUxHelper" "--log-dir=LeagueClient Logs" "--crash-reporting=crashpad" "--crash-environment=EUW1" "--crash-pipe=\\.\pipe\crashpad_19692_AJMBMQYOZVYYJMRF" "--app-log-file-path=C:/Riot Games/League of Legends/Logs/LeagueClient Logs/2020-07-09T12-55-09_19692_LeagueClient.log" "--app-pid=19692" "--output-base-dir=C:\Riot Games\League of Legends" "--no-proxy-server"
I've tried some stuff with the regex library, and managed to split my results up into words, but I still can't figure out how I save a specific line, that is the port number and the result of remoting-auth-token="characters I want to save".
My code to find out how many words are in the output string:
std::string output = exec("wmic PROCESS WHERE name='LeagueClientUx.exe' GET commandline");
std::regex wregex("(\\w+)");
auto words_begin = std::sregex_iterator(output.begin(), output.end(), wregex);
auto words_end = std::sregex_iterator();
std::cout << "Found: " << std::distance(words_begin, words_end) << std::endl;
PrintMatch(words_begin, words_end);
Output:
´´
Found: 110 CommandLine, C, Riot, Games, League, of, Legends, LeagueClientUx, exe, riotclient, auth, token, 5NFOIOqKB9EfSVsxBMrFUw, riotclient, app, port, 63498, no, rads, disable, self, update, region, EUW, locale, en_GB, remoting, auth, token, vx5yZOk_TkAt9YKq, PEucw, respawn, command, LeagueClient, exe, respawn, display, name, League, of, Legends, app, port, 63530, ´´ And a bit more but character restriction limits me, however the output which I need to store is there. I've set commas to mark new lines in the output.

It depends on what you mean by "save". Save to file or just assign to a variable? My guess is that you are confused about how iterators work and are wondering how you can fetch the remote-auth-token and the port number to from the words_begin variable. If the number of "words" in the cmd output is always the same you can use:
std::advance(words_begin,16);
std::string port = words_begin->str();
std::advance(words_begin,13);
std::string authToken = words_begin->str();
now, normally you would write the regex so as to only match the part you are interested in. Currently, since you are matching every "word", you are dependent on what position the remote auth token and port number are in the cmd output which might cause your application to break if that output ever changes order or add another word in front.

Use metadata in filename when saving harbor input Liquidsoap

So I have an instance of Liquidsoap, which I am using to stream to an Icecast server.
I'd like to record any live broadcasts that take place automatically, which I am now doing and is working well.
What I'd like to do is use the metadata (specifically the songname) of the live show when creating the mp3 archive.
#!/usr/local/bin/liquidsoap
set("log.file",true)
set("log.file.path","/var/log/liquidsoap/radiostation.log")
set("log.stdout",true)
set("log.level",3)
#-------------------------------------
set("harbor.bind_addr","0.0.0.0")
#-------------------------------------
backup_playlist = playlist("/home/radio/playlists/playlist.pls",conservative=true,reload_mode="watch")
output.dummy(fallible=true,backup_playlist)
#-------------------------------------
live_dj = input.harbor(id="live",port=9000,password="XXX", "live")
date = '%m-%d-%Y'
time = '%H:%M:%S'
output.file(%mp3, "/var/www/recorded-shows/#{Title} - Recorded On #{date} At #{time}.mp3", live_dj, fallible=true)
#time_stamp = '%m-%d-%Y, %H:%M:%S'
#output.file(%mp3, "/var/www/recorded-shows/live_dj_#{time_stamp}.mp3", live_dj, fallible=true)
#-------------------------------------
on_fail = single("/home/radio/fallback/Enei -The Moment Feat DRS.mp3")
#-------------------------------------
source = fallback(track_sensitive=false,
[live_dj, backup_playlist, on_fail])
# We output the stream to icecast
output.icecast(%mp3,id="icecast",
mount="myradio.mp3",
host="localhost", password="XXX",
icy_metadata="true",description="cool radio",
url="http://myradio.fm",
source)
I have added #{title} where I would like my song title to appear, sadly though I am unable to get this populate.
My Dj's use BUTT and the show title is connected as part of their connection, so the data should be available pre recording.
Any advice is much appreciated!
This is far from being as easy as it seems.
The title metadata is dynamic, thus not available as a variable on script initialization
The filename argument of output.file is compiled when the script is initialized
A solution would consist in:
Defining a variable reference title to populate with live metadata
Output to a temporary file
Rename the file on close using on_close argument with output.file (in this case, we can just prepend the title)
This would give the following code (on a Linux box, change mv with ren on Windows):
date = '%m-%d-%Y'
time = '%H:%M:%S'
# Title is a reference
title = ref ""
# Populate with metadata
def get_title(m)
title := m['title']
end
live_dj = on_metadata(get_title,live_dj)
# Rename file on close
def on_close(filename)
# Generate new file name
new_filename = "#{path.dirname(filename)}/#{!title} - #{basename(filename)}"
# Rename file
system("mv '#{filename}' '#{new_filename}'")
end
output.file(on_close=on_close, %mp3, "/var/www/recorded-shows/Recorded On #{date} At #{time}.mp3", live_dj, fallible=true)
I tested a similar scenario and it works just well. Just beware that this will create a new file every time a DJ disconnects or updates the title. Also keep in mind that time stamps will be resolved by output.file.
This is based on the following example from a Liquidsoap dev: https://github.com/savonet/liquidsoap/issues/661#issuecomment-439935854)

Localizing Github repo?

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, although I'm sure someone might be able to guide me in the right direction. The problem/question I have is about a github repo that is in another language (which I haven't the faintest clue of understanding). Is there a standard way of translating/localizing an entire codebase/repo? I have some ideas of ways that might be (tedious) to do it, but I'm looking for the correct or best way.
Fortunately the code seems to be mostly in english, but all of the comments and output for example are in cyrillic (not sure if it's russian, serbian, etc). Which approach do I need to take to make this as painless as possible? Is regex the answer, or is something like a copy/paste (ugh!) using google translate? Thanks in advance.
Code Sample:
if (!defined("FILE")) die("Ошибка доступа.");
$data_filename = "data.txt"; // имя файла с данными сниффера
...
Google Translate:
if (defined ("FILE")) die ("Error Access.");
data_filename $ = "data.txt"; // Filename with data sniffer
...
While far from perfect, it does translate - but screws with the code.
Here's an idea that works for the example you posted (though definitely not for every language in the world):
import re
import sys
for line in sys.stdin:
foreignStart = None
for ii, ch in enumerate(line):
if foreignStart is None and ord(ch) > 127:
foreignStart = ii
elif foreignStart is not None and ord(ch) <= 127 and ch != ' ':
sys.stdout.write("TRANSLATE(")
sys.stdout.write(line[foreignStart:ii])
sys.stdout.write(")")
foreignStart = None
if ord(ch) <= 127 and not (foreignStart is not None and ch == ' '):
sys.stdout.write(ch)
This will print:
if (!defined("FILE")) die("TRANSLATE(Ошибка доступа).");
$data_filename = "data.txt"; // TRANSLATE(имя файла с данными сниффера)
...
I think you can see where you'll need to insert calls to a machine translation API (Google or Yandex...). You should of course cache results you've already translated in a text file somewhere, which will also allow you to override results you don't like from the API.

MAPI, HrQueryAllRows: Filter messages on subject

I'm pretty much new to MAPI and haven't wrote much C++ Code.
Basically I want to read all emails in the inbox and filter them based on their subject text. So far I'm using the source code provided at the microsoft msdn website which basically reads all emails from the inbox. What I want now is to not get all emails but filter them on the subject, lets say: I want all emails in my Inbox with the subject title "test".
So far I figuered out that the following line of code retrieves all the mails:
hRes = HrQueryAllRows(lpContentsTable, (LPSPropTagArray) &sptCols, &sres, NULL, 0, &pRows);
The parameter &sres is from the type SRestriction.
I tried to implement a filter on 'test' in the subject:
sres.rt = RES_CONTENT;
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_FULLSTRING;
sres.res.resContent.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
sres.res.resContent.lpProp = &SvcProps;
SvcProps.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
SvcProps.Value.lpszA = "test";
ScvProps is from the type SPropValue.
If i execute the application then I get 0 lines returned. If I change the String test to an empty String then I get all emails.
I'm assuming i'm using the "filter" option wrong, any ideas?
Edit: When I change the FuzzyLevel to:
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_SUBSTRING;
then I can look for subjects that contain a single character but as soon as I add a second character I get 0 rows as result. I'm pretty sure this is just some c++ stuff that I don't understand that causes all this problems ...
I figured the problem out.
Replacing
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_FULLSTRING;
sres.res.resContent.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
SvcProps.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT;
with
sres.res.resContent.ulFuzzyLevel = FL_SUBSTRING;
sres.res.resContent.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT_A;
SvcProps.ulPropTag = PR_SUBJECT_A;
fixed the problem.

mediawiki: is there a way to automatically create redirect pages that redirect to the current page?

My hobby is writing up stuff on a personal wiki site: http://comp-arch.net.
Currently using mediawiki (although I often regret having chosen it, since I need per page access control.)
Often I create pages that define several terms or concepts on the same page. E.g. http://semipublic.comp-arch.net/wiki/Invalidate_before_writing_versus_write_through_is_the_invalidate.
Oftentimes such "A versus B" pages provide the only definitions of A and B. Or at least the only definitions that I have so far gotten around to writing.
Sometimes I will define many more that two topics on the same page.
If I create such an "A vs B" or other paging containing multiple definitions D1, D2, ... DN, I would like to automatically create redirect pages, so that I can say [[A]] or [[B]] or [[D1]] .. [[DN]] in other pages.
At the moment the only way I know of to create such pages is manually. It's hard to keep up.
Furthermore, at the time I create such a page, I would like to provide some page text - typicaly a category.
Here;s another example: variant page names. I often find that I want to create several variants of a page name, all linking to the same place. For example
[[multithreading]],
[[multithreading (MT)]],
[[MT (multithreading)]],
[[MT]]
Please don;t tell me to use piped links. That's NOT what I want!
TWiki has plugins such as
TOPICCREATE automatically create topics or attach files at topic save time
More than that, I remember a twiki plugin, whose name I cannot remember or google up, that included the text of certain subpages within your current opage. You could then edit all of these pages together, and save - and the text would be extracted and distributed as needed. (By the way, if you can remember the name of tghat package, please remind me. It had certain problems, particularly wrt file locking (IIRC it only locked the top file for editing, bot the sub-topics, so you could lose stuff.))
But this last, in combination with parameterized templtes, would be almost everything I need.
Q: does mediawiki have something similar? I can't find it.
I suppose that I can / could should wrote my own robot to perform such actions.
It's possible to do this, although I don't know whether such extensions exist already. If you're not averse to a bit of PHP coding, you could write your own using the ArticleSave and/or ArticleSaveComplete hooks.
Here's an example of an ArticleSaveComplete hook that will create redirects to the page being saved from all section titles on the page:
$wgHooks['ArticleSaveComplete'][] = 'createRedirectsFromSectionTitles';
function createRedirectsFromSectionTitles( &$page, &$user, $text ) {
// do nothing for pages outside the main namespace:
$title = $page->getTitle();
if ( $title->getNamespace() != 0 ) return true;
// extract section titles:
// XXX: this is a very quick and dirty implementation;
// it would be better to call the parser
preg_match_all( '/^(=+)\s*(.*?)\s*\1\s*$/m', $text, $matches );
// create a redirect for each title, unless they exist already:
// (invalid titles and titles outside ns 0 are also skipped)
foreach ( $matches[2] as $section ) {
$nt = Title::newFromText( $section );
if ( !$nt || $nt->getNamespace() != 0 || $nt->exists() ) continue;
$redirPage = WikiPage::factory( $nt );
if ( !$redirPage ) continue; // can't happen; check anyway
// initialize some variables that we can reuse:
if ( !isset( $redirPrefix ) ) {
$redirPrefix = MagicWord::get( 'redirect' )->getSynonym( 0 );
$redirPrefix .= '[[' . $title->getPrefixedText() . '#';
}
if ( !isset( $reason ) ) {
$reason = wfMsgForContent( 'editsummary-auto-redir-to-section' );
}
// create the page (if we can; errors are ignored):
$redirText = $redirPrefix . $section . "]]\n";
$flags = EDIT_NEW | EDIT_MINOR | EDIT_DEFER_UPDATES;
$redirPage->doEdit( $redirText, $reason, $flags, false, $user );
}
return true;
}
Note: Much of this code is based on bits and pieces of the pagemove redirect creating code from Title.php and the double redirect fixer code, as well as the documentation for WikiPage::doEdit(). I have not actually tested this code, but I think it has at least a decent chance of working as is. Note that you'll need to create the MediaWiki:editsummary-auto-redir-to-section page on your wiki to set a meaningful edit summary for the redirect edits.
