I was try to implement the json for kodi tts with
'{"jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "JSONRPC.NotifyAll", "params": {"message": "SAY", "data": {"interrupt": true, "text": "4f7574646f6f72206c69676874696e6720737769746368206f6e"}, "sender": "service.xbmc.tts"}, "id": 1}'
and now I have two question about it:
1. How can tts during movie playback? Option "Speak when media playing" is set to "on", but no efect

Make sure you have a speech engine selected in the addon settings and select something other than 'XBMC PlaySFX' for the player.

2. How can use the cyrillic phrases like as "Уличное освещение включено"? Can I use this table http://www.ascii-codes.com/cp855.html or this http://www.celitel.info/klad/tabsim.htm ?

Thanks in advance.

This should work without modification depending on what speech engine you are using. For a test I just changed my language to Croatian and selected that for the voice in eSpeak in the addon settings, and it seemed to work. What platform are you running on?

Are you sill going to update this?
I really like this addon a lot.

I am still working on this addon, but lately I have been very busy and haven't had a lot of time to do so. When I have more time, I will work on it again.

I was use the perl tts server & russian sapi tts on my remotely win host in network.
The "text": "4f7574646f6f72206c69676874696e6720737769746368206f6e"} (Outdoor lighting switch on) is speech ok, but the phrases "text": "d3ebe8f7edeee520eef1e2e5f9e5ede8e520e2eaebfef7e5edee"} (Уличное освещение включено) still not work
I use to convert cyr. symbol to hex on http://crypt-online.narod.ru/crypts/text2hex/

You should be able to use eSpeak and set the voice to Russian. Google doesn't work because there is no command line mp3 player on OpenElec, but I have been able to get it working on RPi 2 by manually adding a player binary and doing some modifications to the addon, so I should have something there in the future (hopefully).

I can't speak to how the perl server works for this, as I did not write that. Have you tried the the speech.server? That uses the same backend code as the addon. It may be (in either case) there is something wrong with how text is passed to the server. I haven't done a lot of non English testing with either speech server.

I know this out of topic, but do you think this could lead to rasbien being able to have speech someday?
I love how this make openelec mostly accessible. Thanks and keep it up!

Being a Debian based distro, Raspbian already has speech utilities. These are what the addon uses when Kodi is being run on Raspbian. As far as having speech if you're running a desktop environment, someone else will have to answer that, though it seems like is should already be possible.

I thought openelec doesn't run raspben.

Yes but Kodi does.

Well the screen reader runs on openelec on the pi 2

Use eSpeak and set the voice to English:
The "text": "4f7574646f6f72206c69676874696e6720737769746368206f6e"} (Outdoor lighting switch on) is speech ok,

I was try eSpeak and set the voice to Russian:
But the phrases "text": "d3ebe8f7edeee520eef1e2e5f9e5ede8e520e2eaebfef7e5edee"} (Уличное освещение включено) still not work
I use to convert cyr. symbol to hex on http://crypt-online.narod.ru/crypts/text2hex/

What I doing wrong?

The addon expects the text to be utf-8 encoded. The following site will convert correctly: http://hex.online-toolz.com/tools/text-h...vertor.php

I tried to use this in xbian and there was not voices installed like on openelec. Why is that?
