Release v0.1.64 · varterm/extensions

Two faults that reached users as errors they could do nothing about.

Linux playback works without ffmpeg installed. The Sentry error spawn ffplay ENOENT was a Linux user hitting a hardcoded ffplay with no fallback. The extension now tries ffplay, mpv, mpg123, mpg321, cvlc, gst-play-1.0 and play, takes the first that is executable, and checks before synthesising so a missing player costs no round trip. When none is found it names the packages that would fix it.
Reading text in a script the chosen voice cannot speak now explains itself and names a voice that works. The Sentry error No audio generated. Please try different text. came from an English voice being handed non-Latin text, which Edge TTS answers with zero bytes rather than an error. Chunks holding no speakable character, a markdown rule for instance, are dropped before the request.
The Claude Code plugin no longer offers aplay or paplay. Neither reliably decodes MP3, so on a machine without ffplay or mpv they were picked and then failed.

Failed reads report the voice and the script of the text to Sentry, so a report can be diagnosed without reproducing it.
/api/edge-tts answers 422 rather than 500 for text it cannot voice, which stops clients retrying something that cannot succeed, and lists 66 voices across 31 locales instead of 10 English ones.
