Playback Options
Set the default chimes, audio timing, transitions, cleanup behaviour, and MP3 cover art used for announcements.
Default Offset
The default offset duration (in milliseconds) between chimes and TTS audio. Positive values introduce a delay, while negative values overlap the audio segments. It is used when an action omits offset or delay; an action value takes precedence.
| Default Value: | 450 |
| Required: | No |
Default Start Chime
Set an optional chime to play before generated speech. It is applied when an action omits chime_path; an action value, including an empty value that disables the start chime, takes precedence.
| Default Value: | None |
| Required: | No |
Default End Chime
Set an optional chime to play after generated speech. It is applied when an action omits end_chime_path; an action value, including an empty value that disables the end chime, takes precedence.
| Default Value: | None |
| Required: | No |
Default Crossfade
Set the default crossfade duration between audio segments. It is used when an action omits crossfade; an action value takes precedence. A negative offset overlays segments; crossfade controls how one segment fades into the next.
| Default Value: | 0 |
| Required: | No |
Fade Transition
The duration (in milliseconds) to fade out the now playing audio before an announcement, and then fade it back in after the announcement is completed.
This applies to chime_tts.say action calls when the announce or fade_audio parameters are used.
| Default Value: | 500 |
| Required: | No |
Delay Before Removing Temporary Files
The delay duration after chime_tts.say playback is completed (in milliseconds), before removing the generated temporary audio file.
| Default Value: | None |
| Required: | No |
MP3 Cover Art
When enabled, adds the Chime TTS logo as the cover art in generated MP3 files.
| Default Value: | false |
| Required: | No |
