Announcement confusion

Hi,

I am playing a little bit with Play:1 and trying the MP3 announcement.

Scenario is:

Sonos is playing radio
MP3 announcement is done

I will expect that Sonos plays the radio again but it does not.

Where is my error? (I suppose I did something wrong)

Thanks
Marco

If the radio was playing before the announcement, it should come back post the announcement. Can you post the appropriate portion of the log and lets see if there are any errors in the announcement.

Hi,

I am back again and I am playing a little bit again with Group Announcement MP3 and in logs I get:

This is Google - they do not like the automated attempts to leverage their text to speech api. There isn't anything I can do to get around it that I'm aware of. Have you tried the IVONA TTS option? Quite a few have had more success with it over Google. I use it myself and think it is of pretty high quality.

Well, in the configuration Ivona in selected...

Ok, my error...

This is what I get now:

Is the announcement working? Looks like it should be from the log.

Yes, announcement is working, but I see in logs

That's actually ok. In this case, the plugin was trying to seek to a particular time in a track. The action was likely invalid for the source or play state. Consider it a soft error -- nothing to worry about. I'll clean this up in future versions.
