I think i found out what you mean with bll. I already had better logic, but not the rebrand better logic rebrand. I only saw it a few minutes ago. I think it’s working again. Thanks Arie. ---

Well, no i think not 😉 But thanks for the answer, the solution lays in it. I have extensivly tested GS without BLL and with BLL installed and/or running. But what i don’t have tried, is what happens if you have the old BL version installed. Because everythink will work as expected upto a point: the decode API is not available. So, i now know how to simulate this issue. Thanks! Now ill go solve it fast and push it through before to many people have GS updated. ---

Play this with `af-ZA-Standard-A (FEMALE)` and it sound lovely 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/0/a07d3b33f32a4c413a167698d90b9e250edd81e1.png) ---

I have managed to install this app and have one of my SONOS speakers say the text outloud. So far, so good. Right now, I have added one “Google TTS”, so every URL that is generated is being spoken outloud on one SONOS speaker (Werkkamer). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/3/534befea9d93a12af650362793fbbf97c7adf0b4.png) Am I correct that I need to install a “Google TTS” for each room where I would like to send a TTS message to? ---

Well, if you want to be able to use speech in each room separately, then yes, you can best create a tts device per output/speaker/zone. ---

Since yesterday the app has stopped working for me. It still works for Sonos speakers, but it no longer works for various chromecast devices. Even made a new Json file but unfortunately this did not help. When I look at settings I can select a different voice so the json seems to be good. ---

it seems that google has changed something in the cast function, casting a radio station no longer works here either. ---

Yeah, if sonos works, it means the Google Service app and the build-in webserver is running correctly, so i am assuming the casting issue has nothing to do with the GS app. ---

I tried to repair one Google Cloud TTS device today and got the following error: _“socket.on is not a function”_. I tried to restart the app and create a new Google Coud TTS device, but both don’t solve the problem. Here is the diagnostic report code: 3bd920b2-7b71-430f-824d-ca40426838c2 ---
