does livekit have a function that allows me to send audio output from my TTS to a websocket url of my choosing?

Thanks for reaching out, Faraz. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

yes, how do i receive the raw output bytes from cartesia’s tts before it is broadcasted to the room?

Hey there! I'd love to help you out, and the more details you can share, the better I can support you. Could you tell me a bit more about what you're working on? For example: • Are you using a specific SDK or API to integrate Cartesia's TTS with LiveKit? • Do you need the raw audio bytes in a specific format? • Are you looking to modify the audio before broadcasting it to the room? The more you can share, the more precisely I can tailor a solution just for you!

i want the output of livekit’s cartesia tts plugin to be sent to a websocket url

Hey there! I totally get what you're looking for with the WebSocket connection for the LiveKit Cartesia TTS plugin. Right now, the plugin has a built-in WebSocket setup that handles sending and receiving data. If you're hoping to route the TTS output to a different WebSocket URL, you'll need to tweak the plugin's code a bit. The key spot to focus on is the

_connect_ws

method. This is where the magic happens for establishing the WebSocket connection. It builds the connection URL by combining the base URL, TTS endpoint path, and some handy query parameters like your API key and version. The good news? You can totally customize this method to point to whatever WebSocket URL you want. Need a hand walking through the specifics? I'm here to help you figure it out! Just let me know what you're thinking, and we'll work through it together. Sources: GitHub::livekit::agents | livekit-plugins/livekit-plugins-cartesia/livekit/...

can i do this without forking livekit? is there a way for me to pass in a custom websocket url to the cartesia livekit plugin

Hey there! I totally understand your challenge with the Cartesia LiveKit plugin. It looks like the current setup doesn't make it super easy to pass a custom WebSocket URL without diving into the code. Don't worry though – we've got a few potential paths forward. First, let's see if the plugin has any hidden configuration tricks we can use to override the default settings programmatically. If that doesn't pan out, we might need to do a small code tweak. Would you like me to walk you through exploring these options? I'm happy to help you find the smoothest solution that works for your specific setup. Just let me know what you're thinking, and we'll figure this out together!
