I am trying to play an audio file with binary string format that Amazon Polly returns.
For that, I am using 'react-native-fetch-blob' and reading a stream, but just keep getting errors from the bridge saying 'Invalid data message - all must be length: 8'.
It happens when I try to open the stream: ifstream.open()
This is the code:
//polly config
const params = {
LexiconNames: [],
OutputFormat: "mp3",
SampleRate: "8000",
Text: "All Gaul is divided into three parts",
TextType: "text",
VoiceId: "Joanna"
};
Polly.synthesizeSpeech(params, function(err, data) {
let _data = "";
RNFetchBlob.fs.readStream(
// file path
data.AudioStream,
// encoding, should be one of `base64`, `utf8`, `ascii`
'ascii'
)
.then((ifstream) => {
ifstream.open()
ifstream.onData((chunk) => {
_data += chunk
})
ifstream.onError((err) => {
console.log('oops', err.toString())
})
ifstream.onEnd(() => {
//pasing _data to streaming player or normal audio player
ReactNativeAudioStreaming.play(_data, {showIniOSMediaCenter: true, showInAndroidNotifications: true});
})
})
});
Another solution I have also tried is to save the stream into a file to load it later on, but I got similars bugs.
RNFetchBlob.fs.createFile("myfile.mp3", dataG.AudioStream, 'ascii');
Huge thanks in advance
You can use fetch()
to request one or more media resources, return Response.body.getReader()
from .then()
to get a ReadableStream
of the response. Read the Uint8Array
values returned as the stream as read with .read()
method of the ReadableStream
, append to value to SourceBuffer
of MediaSource
to stream the media at an HTMLMediaElement
.
For example, to output the audio of two requested audio resources, in sequence
window.addEventListener("load", () => {
const audio = document.createElement("audio");
audio.controls = "controls";
document.body.appendChild(audio);
audio.addEventListener("canplay", e => {
audio.play();
});
const words = ["hello", "world"];
const mediaSource = new MediaSource();
const mimeCodec = "audio/mpeg";
const mediaType = ".mp3";
const url = "https://ssl.gstatic.com/dictionary/static/sounds/de/0/";
Promise.all(
words.map(word =>
fetch(`https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select * from data.uri where url="${url}${word}${mediaType}"&format=json&callback=`)
.then(response => response.json())
.then(({
query: {
results: {
url
}
}
}) =>
fetch(url).then(response => response.body.getReader())
.then(readers => readers)
)
)
)
.then(readers => {
audio.src = URL.createObjectURL(mediaSource);
mediaSource.addEventListener("sourceopen", sourceOpen);
async function sourceOpen() {
var sourceBuffer = mediaSource.addSourceBuffer(mimeCodec);
// set `sourceBuffer` `.mode` to `"sequence"`
sourceBuffer.mode = "segments";
const processStream = ({
done,
value
}) => {
if (done) {
return;
}
// append chunk of stream to `sourceBuffer`
sourceBuffer.appendBuffer(value);
}
// at `sourceBuffer` `updateend` call `reader.read()`,
// to read next chunk of stream, append chunk to
// `sourceBuffer`
for (let [index, reader] of Object.entries(readers)) {
sourceBuffer.addEventListener("updateend", function() {
reader.read().then(processStream);
});
let stream = await reader.read().then(processStream)
.then(() => reader.closed)
.then(() => "done reading stream " + index);
console.log(stream);
}
}
})
})

You could use the getSynthesizeSpeechUrl method from AWS.Polly.Presigner. I’m doing this and using react-native-sound to play the mp3. I ran into an issue where the mp3 wouldn’t play because my presigned URL contained special characters, but there’s a fix here.
