Hi,
I’ve just installed mycroft on an ubuntu. I can ‘./mycroft.sh start’ then say ‘hey mycroft news’ and I hear a news feed. 
then I install mimic from withing mycroft-core/mimic and I can ‘./bin/mimic -t ‘hello’’ and I hear it.
If I say “hey mycroft, what’s the weather” I do see a written response watching $ screen -r mycroft-skills,
{“type”: “speak”, “data”: {“utterance”: "Right now, …
But it doesn’t get spoken by mimic.
What am I missing?
Cheers.
I have the same problem, have you found a solution in the meantime?
Hi,
If I understand the issue…
Mycroft uses the tool “mpg123” to play the mp3 with the NPR news, skill “npr_news” (see mycroft.conf, line “play_mp3_cmdline”).
The answer to “what’s the weather” uses another output channel. It is not based in “mpg123” nor in “mimic -t”.
When mimic is configured as tts, it uses “aplay” command (see “play_wav_cmdline” in config) to play the result of the tts conversion.
I suggest you test with this command. Could be it is need add an argument “-D” to the command.
Kind regards.
