Hello, first of all, thanks for all making it easy for Polly's integration. I am successfully able to run the sample given, now I am trying to add another metahuman as well and followed the steps given in the developer's guide, I am successfully able to import the metahuman and add all the speech blueprints with sequence, now on the next steps I am stuck.

I have some questions 1> after adding the Speech_AnimBP to the face component, the facial animation does not work but the audio plays back successfully. 2.> similar to above but this time on the body component I cant add the Bodyidle animation, even dragging n dropping the Bodyidle animation into anim class doesn't work,

Now I observed that if the face mesh of the new metahuman is changed back to ada_Facemesh with the Speech_AnimBP, it works fine. So basically animation is only for ada_FaceMesh (Ada)?

I tried to change the face mesh directly by editing the Speech_AnimBP, but was unable, as it doesn't show other face mesh other than Ada.

Please guide. @cwalkere

Hello, first let me thank you a lot for this project, it really is interesting.

I have followed the quick-guide to the letter, but I get 4 errors at the end with the .bat file.

When I try to open the .uproject file, I get:

Missing AmazonPollyMetaHuman Modules

The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version:

AmazonPollyMetaHuman

Would you like to rebuild them now?

After trying to compile, the error tells me to compile manually, which i have tried with both VS2022 and VS2019, but I still get errors.

I have tried a few times the zip downloaded, but I get different sizes each time (and can only be extracted with 7Zip). Git results in stable size.

I am using W10, UE4..26.2, VS2022 and VS20219.

I'm at my wits' end. Could anyone help here, please?

System setup

machine: M1 mac pro build aws-sdk-cpp: cmake "$SDK_REPO_DIR" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$SDK_INSTALL_DIR" -DBUILD_ONLY="polly" -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR=x86_64 -DCMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES=x86_64 (have to switch off -DCUSTOM_MEMORY_MANAGEMENT=ON to PASS the build) UE version: 4.27.2

how I trigger the bug

It successfully start the UE, and I can see the metahuman and the scene, and I can do "Play", there is a text box to input text. When I input some text, no speech is generated. Then I end the "Play", it cratshes:

The editor crashes as soon as the Speak function is executed. In debug mode, it hits a breakpoint, and when I press "continue" in VS, it resumes. Please help. I'm really close

Hi, I have been digging on the AWS Polly docs and see that the command CLI accepts SSML tags. While I can produce audio file that follow these tags with the CLI, I cannot make it work in UE4.

When I pass a text with such tags (between tag symbols), the metahuman simply speaks the tag as if it is normal text.

Is there any way for Polly CLI to accept these tags from UE?

Thanks!

Any idea why i get this error on start LogPollyMsg: Error: Polly failed to generate audio file. Error: Invalid DNS Label found in URI host LogPollyMsg: Error: Failed to start speech. GenerateSpeech must be invoked before StartSpeech.

also get it when i type a message in the box and click speak

Hello, i have some trouble with building aws. I have done everything in readme,

1. Create AWS credentials for the project DONE
2. Install and configure the AWS Command Line Interface DONE
3. Compile the Polly C++ SDK. (Cmake installed, path set) But when i start AmazonPollyMetaHuman/ThirdParty/AwsSdk/BuildAwsSdkWin64.bat it getting that CMakelist is missing.

Is it a bug or im missing some configuration with cmake?

Hello,

I have succesfull done steps 1-3 I have run the bat file and it has created a Win64 folder with all the files.
I then downloaded the git project. When double clicking the uproject i get

The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version AmazonPollyMetaHuman would you like to rebuild now

click yes and then it comes up with an error it can not be compiled. Do i need to put the win64 folder somewhere... is there any other idea on what can be causing this.

Issue:

https://github.com/aws-samples/amazon-polly-metahumans/issues/6

Description of changes:

The previous Content folder organization made it very difficult to successfully incorporate new MetaHumans into this sample project. This resulted in a number of users reporting issues. This PR addresses these problems in two ways:

1. The Content folder has been reorganized to better accommodate custom MetaHuman import.
2. The "Developer Guide" has been updated with more detailed instructions on how to import and use custom MetaHumans.

Additionally, this PR fixes an error in one of the documentation images.

Got it all working - thank you.

Any tips on on how to swap in other metahuman characters?

Also would be nice to tie to a realtime AI chat like gpt3 or chatgpt - anyone interested in helping with this.

BuildAwsSdkMac.sh fails with the errors below (Screenshot + Text).

What can I do?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get this working on my UnrealEngine 4.27 on a Windows OS and have followed all the steps in the readme appropriately up to step 3. I'm now trying to download and compile the appropriate binaries for windows using the BuildAwsSdkWin64.bat script, however, I am faced with the following error messages upon build.

Any assistance in trying to resolve this would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
