⚄︎ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

I've been made aware that the code I've written to access text-to-speech from ElevenLabs API is no longer working.

I've tested it and it seems that the CORS-Proxy that is being used in ai-character-chat currently doens't allow POST methods (which is being used to 'post' the text to be 'spoken' in ElevenLabs).

Not a major/priority issue but might be nice to be fixed. I also wonder how many are using text to speech (even just using the Speech Synthesis code) in the ai-character-chat....

Hmm, I wasn't able to replicate this problem. I added this as character's custom code, and it does log the response in the console:

oc.thread.on("MessageAdded", async function() {
  let result = await fetch("https://httpbin.org/post", {
    method: "POST",
    headers: { "Content-Type":"application/json" },
    body: JSON.stringify({foo:3})
  }).then(r => r.json());
  console.log(result);
});

Is it perhaps header values you're missing, or something? Certainly possible that there is a big though and I'm just not hitting it with the above example for whatever reason.

Either way this motivated me to finally get around to creating a CORs-bypassing plugin: https://perchance.org/fetch-plugin That way I can ensure strong backwards-compatibility and performance instead of just relying on a little glitch.com server, which won't scale, and doesn't have good perf/uptime guarantees. I'll wait to hear back from you before integrating it into ai-character-chat just so we can don't end up making it harder for you to reproduce the bug you were up against here.

bottom of page says "Check out more plugins at perchance.org/plugins" twice

edit: and now it doesn't. must be magic

@[email protected] @[email protected] Sorry just realized the plugin is not quite ready for prime time! Need to make some breaking changes so I've commented out the code for now. The moment I started integrating it into ai-character-chat I realised it's a bad idea to overwrite the existing fetch - should instead just be a separate "superFetch" or whatever because otherwise if you need to e.g. download a big file that you know doesn't have any CORs problems, you're forced to go through the proxy, which will be slower. Will update soon hopefully, if not tomorrow. Sorry for trouble if you'd started playing with it!

@[email protected] @[email protected] Okay, superFetch it is: https://perchance.org/super-fetch-plugin ... phew - happy I managed to pull the plug on that previous approach quickly, but sorry again for the breaking change! I'd only ever do when a plugin is extremely new - i.e. a few hours old, as in this case. I take breaking changes with the official plugins really seriously, so it was still somewhat painful to do.
