TIPS Text to speech -Incredible PBX 2027 D

[LitleBill]

Greetings,

I am new to PBX, therefore please apologize my ramblings.

I just started with IncrediblePBX 2027 D and really appreciate how much work went into creating this installation script.

It is a great learning experience just getting things the way I want them to be.

For example Lenny was not working out of the box, but I found some guide and sound files and after setting up a Virtual extension Lenny is working. Althought I can't seem to find where the recordings go.
I forced recording for all.

Now, I am trying to figure out why Weather and News are not working.

I see in Asterisk logs that WeatherAPI is pulling the forecast text just fine, but when I dial 947, I get the prompt for Zip code and then it gets quiet. and hangs up.

When I dial 951 News , I get thevoice announcements but then it just hangs up. I see asterisk logs are pulling a news story just fine.

So there must be something wrong with text to speech.

Anyone has the same issue?

I have Debian and gtts is installed, but no TTS engines are listed in Asterisk

Extensions 53669 for Lenny, 951 for News, and 947 for Weather by ZIP Code should have worked from any extension after installing Incredible PBX 2027-D. If none of them work, it sounds like something is wrong with your Internet connection. Was this installed on a local machine or in the Cloud? Does pbxstatus show a PUBLIC IP address?

 

[LitleBill]

Thank you for your kind reply,

It is installed on a Local machine, I just set it up so it is behind firewall and behind NAT. I assume it will not be a public IP
I did see Suricata is blocking some requests to 208...

    bash: pbxstatus: command not found

 

[LitleBill]

Maybe I should include some logs from Reports- Asterisk logs:

I see that Suricata is blocking Dynamic DNS query to "from-nv.com"

ERROR[55485][C-00000039] netsock2.c: getaddrinfo("lenny.from-nv.com", "(null)", ...): Name or service not known

 

[LitleBill]

This is when dialing 951 for News

[wardmundy]

If pbxstatus isn't found, you've got a bad install. I'd start over.

 

[LitleBill]

I think it is working now.
Yes, pbxstatus shows the correct public IP

 

[LitleBill]

I m wondering if I see correctly in the asterisk log that gtts has issues finding the text

Assuming you have Internet connectivity, that's because no results were returned for the ZIP code you entered.

 

[LitleBill]

Thank you for your reply,

I see in Asterisk log that after entering ZIP the results were returned from the WEATHER API.
I can't see any relevant network being blocked
