I wonder if Audio Game Maker is still floating around anywhere?

@daygar Audio Game Maker: https://bluegrasspals.com/agm/agm.zip and the sound library: https://bluegrasspals.com/agm/soundlib.zip

Attention, attention. This audio post, demonstrates, the way in which, a certain Alexa skill developer, apparently likes to put pauses, every few words, in the middle, of sentences. So now, don't forget to listen, to this audio file, so you can know, exactly, what I'm talking about.

So in NVDA 2024.1, for some reason Addon Updater now opens a dialog when updates are available, rather than just a notification. I do not like this, as it could well interrupt something important I'm trying to do. I hate when something throws me out of focus when I'm trying to do something else, especially if I was just about to press Enter at the time, so I end up hitting Ok to something I didn't want to do for one reason or another. Any way to revert to the old behavior? Thanks.

jaybird110127,

@tspivey Huh? There's not a setting for notification in the Addon Updater settings.

jaybird110127,

@tspivey I am, but there's still no notification setting.

jaybird110127,

@tspivey Yes, as a matter of fact I am. So can portable copies not generate notifications? Good to know if so.

jaybird110127,

@tspivey Also do you know why both Addon Updater and the Spanish store addon are getting errors when I try to update addons? I used the log viewer to trace it in the case of Addon Updater to an expired SSL certificate, but can't tell what server has the expired cert.

jaybird110127,

@tspivey Someone told me to go into the Python console and execute the following. For me, it produced no output, and seemed to have no effect.
import updateCheck
updateCheck._updateWindowsRootCertificates()

jaybird110127,

@tspivey I'll have to get the error again, but it's one of these tracebacks that triggers another traceback that triggers another traceback, etc. Addon Updater just tells me there was an error downloading the addon updates, which seems like just another variation of the now all too common "Hmmm…Something went wrong" errors that tell you absolutely nothing.

jaybird110127,

@tspivey Okay, let me go and get that error. Interestingly, another computer which is running an older copy of NVDA is able to download addon updates just fine. Not sure if it's because of the older NVDA, if it's using an older Python, or what. Two computers using newer NVDA cannot download addon updates using Addon Updater.

jaybird110127,

@tspivey Okay, I have the error but it's too long to post here. Will send it in two parts.

jaybird110127,

@tspivey Date and time are accurate, synced via NTP. Also should I run that in the NVDA Python console or in another copy of Python? Should there be any output?

jaybird110127,

@tspivey Well I just ran that in the NVDA Python console, and I'm please to say that seems to have fixed it.

@datajake1999 Hey I see someone has created a renderer branch of Nuked SC55 designed to render MIDIs to Wavs. Any chance you could build that? Or let me know how to build it on Windows, and what I need? Thanks.

Okay, I have a problem on a few systems with NVDA Addon Updater. It just tried to update something in a portable copy, and I got this message: Error dialog Error downloading update for Resource Monitor. It would be very nice if it actually, you know, told me what the error was. As it is, I have no idea what the problem is or how to find out, so no clue how to fix it. Any thoughts? Thanks.

jaybird110127,

@NikJov Well that narrowed it down to an expired SSL certificate, but it didn't bother to say exactly what site has the expired cert.

jaybird110127,

@x0 @NikJov Thing is, Tienda throws an error as well when downloading. Addon store works, and doesn't show an update for either of those addons.

Please boost for reach. My dad and I both have iPhone SE second generation (2020) phones. For several months he has complained about intermittent sluggishness when doing just about anything involving a change of focus E.G. unlocking the phone and going to the Home screen, opening an app (whether it's already running or not), etc. Turning VoiceOver off and back on again usually fixes it temporarily, and so does restarting the phone. Sometimes making a change in some settings such as unpairing an old Apple Watch that he wasn't using would fix the problem, again temporarily. I hadn't experienced the problem until last night when it reared its ugly head on my phone. A restart of VoiceOver fixed it for me, and I thought I'd found the magic solution, only to have him tell me that's a very temporary fix. Both of us are totally blind, so we can't tell if the phone itself is slow to launch things, or if it's VoiceOver that's taking much longer than normal to react to changes on the screen. Is anyone else having this problem? If so, do you know of any solutions? Would getting an iPhone SE third generation fix it? What about resetting the phone and erasing all data, then restoring from iCloud? Thanks for any help.

jaybird110127,

Additional details: Both of us are running the latest iOS 17. Also, we're both using Eloquence as our VoiceOver voice.

Now here's another one. When I go to www.celalibrary.ca, sometimes it works without a hitch, but sometimes, unpredictably, I get this error, which nobody else seems to get:

Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from www.celalibrary.ca (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more
NET::ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
This server could not prove that it is www.celalibrary.ca; its security certificate is from *.bibliocaeb.ca. This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

jaybird110127,

@Bruce_Toews Sounds like they have a problem with one of their security certificates. Not sure why you're not seeing this all the time, but if that's the problem, it's something they need to fix at their end, and unless you own, run, or manage that website, there's nothing you can do about it except possibly contact them to let them know about the issue.

Could someone remind me the tags for speech rate, pitch and inflection? Thanks. CC @datajake1999 @MutedTrampet

jaybird110127,

@seedy Rate: [:ra XXX]
Pitch: [:dv ap XXX]
There are a few parameters that control inflection, but [:dv pr XXX} where 100 is normal, 0 is monotone, 250 is max is probably the most important.
