Thanks for reaching out, Anigilaje. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
The error occurs because a TTS (Text-to-Speech) model is not configured in your code. To resolve this, you need to set up a TTS provider. Here’s how you can fix it: 1. Choose a TTS Provider: LiveKit supports providers like Inworld, OpenAI, ElevenLabs, and Speechify. Select one based on your needs. 2. Install the Required Plugin: For example, to use ElevenLabs, run:
pip install "livekit-agents[elevenlabs]"
3. Import the TTS Module: For ElevenLabs, use:
from livekit.plugins.elevenlabs import TTS
4. Initialize the TTS Instance: Configure it with your API credentials and settings. Example for ElevenLabs:
Copy code
tts = TTS(
    api_key="your_api_key",
    voice="voice_id"
)
5. Pass the TTS Instance to AgentSession: Update your session initialization:
Copy code
session = AgentSession(
    llm=openai.realtime.RealtimeModel(),
    vad=silero.VAD.load(),
    tts=tts
)
6. Use the
say
Method:
You can now call:
await session.say("Welcome! I'm here to help.")
Replace placeholders like
your_api_key
with your actual credentials. Let me know if you need further assistance!

The warning and TimeoutError you ran into can usually be fixed by tweaking the timeout settings and making sure your OpenAI TTS setup is just right. Here’s a friendly step-by-step to help you sort it out: 1. Adjust Timeout Configurations: Try increasing the timeout values for your connection. For example:
Copy code
from livekit.agents import APIConnectOptions

conn_options = APIConnectOptions(
    timeout=10.0,  # Connection timeout in seconds
    max_retry=3,   # Number of retries
    retry_interval=1.0  # Interval between retries
)
2. Custom HTTP Client: You can also use a custom HTTP client with longer timeout settings like this:
Copy code
import httpx
from livekit.plugins import openai as lk_openai

custom_client = openai.AsyncClient(
    http_client=httpx.AsyncClient(
        timeout=httpx.Timeout(connect=30.0, read=15.0, write=15.0, pool=10.0),
        follow_redirects=True
    )
)

tts = lk_openai.TTS(client=custom_client)
3. Disable Turn Detection: That warning pops up because server-side turn detection doesn’t play well with
allow_interruptions=False
. To fix this, turn off turn detection in the RealtimeModel and use VAD instead. 4. Check API Status: It’s always good to double-check that OpenAI’s API is up and running smoothly and that your internet connection is stable. 5. Test Configuration: Run a quick test script to make sure your timeout settings are working as you expect. If you hit any snags or want a hand with anything else, just let me know—I’m here to help!
