Flite 2.1 voice from http or file doesn't work with mimic

[montvid]

I compiled mimic1 on debian 10 from source master branch, all make check tests pass. I can't load a voice file:
mimic -voice file://home/momo/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t "hi" Error load voice: can't open file file://home/momo/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox Error load voice: failed to load voice from file://home/momo/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox

mimic -voice http://www.festvox.org/flite/packed/flite-2.1/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t "hi" Segmentavimo klaida
flite-2.1-release Dec 2017 does work with the url but does not work with the file and it does not download the file as mimic is supposed to:
flite -voice http://www.festvox.org/flite/packed/flite-2.1/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t "hi"

Hi, for local files the file:// isn't recognized, use normal paths /home/momo/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox for local files.

I can reproduce the issue with http, so that's something we need to dig into. Thanks.

[forslund]

I also now see that file:// url's should be supported so we need to look at that as well.

Edit: Never mind, the file:// url seem to work:
./mimic -voice file:///home/ake/projects/c/mimic/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t hello

[montvid]

This does not work either:

mimic -voice /home/momo/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t "hi"
Segmentavimo klaida

mimic -voice "/home/momo/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox" -t "hi"
Segmentavimo klaida

mimic -voice "~/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox" -t "hi"
Error load voice: can't open file ~/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox
Error load voice: failed to load voice from ~/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox

Edit: Never mind, the file:// url seem to work:
./mimic -voice file:///home/ake/projects/c/mimic/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t hello

Does not work for me:

mimic -voice file:///home/momo/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t hi
Segmentavimo klaida

[forslund]

Does the default voice work mimic -t "Hello"?

[montvid]

Does the default voice work mimic -t "Hello"?

Of course. All the compiled in voices work.

[forslund]

And the flitevox files included in the voice folder?

I'm wondering if there's an upstream data? I downloaded the cmu_us_slt voice and that doesn't work locally either but the version in the voice folder works

[montvid]

In the voices folder all work but cmu_us_slt_hts.htsvoice

[montvid]

This seems to work with flite but not with mimic using http://www.festvox.org/flite/packed/flite-2.1/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox
Thanks for showing me how to load a voice file!
flite -voice file:///home/momo/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t hi
flite -voice /home/momo/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t hi

mimic -voice file:///home/momo/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t hi
Segmentavimo klaida

mimic -voice /home/momo/Dokumentai/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t hi
Segmentavimo klaida

by the way - did you fork flite 2.1 or 2.0? Maybe that's the problem. I see it is! mimic plays flite 2.0 voices but not flite 2.1!
try:
http://www.festvox.org/flite/packed/flite-2.0/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox
http://www.festvox.org/flite/packed/flite-2.1/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox

[montvid]

Works:
mimic -voice http://www.festvox.org/flite/packed/flite-2.0/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t "hi"
Does not work:
mimic -voice http://www.festvox.org/flite/packed/flite-2.1/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox -t "hi"

[montvid]

cmu_us_slt.flitevox in http://www.festvox.org/flite/packed/flite-2.0/voices/cmu_us_slt.flitevox is the same as in your repo md5sum:a65f309e638ceeca6548a817fc285f1f

So it seems mimic does not support flite 2.1?

[forslund]

Likely, will have to see what the difference is. The 2.1 voices are roughly 50% the size of the 2.0 voices
