libreelec 10.0 accessibility

    Sorry! I followed the thread, but as I said english is not my native language. I thought all speech engines should go in an addon. And, again, sorry, but I don't really understand what CvH said.

    Kodi has long supported building with espeak-ng and historically we included it, but the package was disabled in distro options in January 2022 due to some kind of compile issue. There has been no formal espeak-ng release since then, so although there are continuing contributions and commits to the upstream source, the tooling we use to detect updated packages and bump them has not triggered, and espeak-ng support has never been reinstated.

    The upstream source switched from autotools to cmake so our package build recipe needs to be reworked, but the latest GitHash can be build with a little fiddling. The perenial challenge is that nobody on staff uses TTS so we can tweak the package to build the binaries but whether we build something usable is always an unknown question.
