Hi f olks,

I'm trying to use the unofficial google-tts-function to give my sketch a voice. I would prefer it, because it also supports German, but I got some problems. The tts could be easily accessed by the following link:

translate.google.com/translate_tts?q=Hallo+zusammen  (This will give the output "hallo zusammen")

Now I want the mp3 to get dynamically generated and beeing played if sth is happening (like a mouseClick), but I always get a  NullPointerException like if there were no file, but in browser it works fine.

This is my code:

1. import ddf.minim.*;
2. AudioPlayer player;
3. Minim minim;
4. void setup()
5. {
6.   size(512, 200, P2D);
7.   minim = new Minim(this);
8. }
9. void draw()
10. {
11.   if(mousePressed) {
12.     playing("Dies ist ein Test");
13.   }
14. }
15. void playing(String txt) {
16.   player = minim.loadFile("http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?q="+txt+".mp3", 2048);
17.   player.play();
18. }
19. void stop()
20. {
21.   // always close Minim audio classes when you are done with them
22.   player.close();
23.   minim.stop();
24.   super.stop();
25. }

So do you have any ideas what causes the problem?
Thanks in advance!
