Need help Adding New ViXTTS as a model option for a PR

[DrewThomasson]

Hey I'm trying to implement the vIXTTS that a guy made into the coqui-tts as a PR

As you can see here in the Vietnamese branch

https://github.com/DrewThomasson/
coqui-ai-TTS

But I'm having trouble figuring out how to have it listed as a separate model option and not just as a full on replacement for XTTSv2

Cause it can do other languages, just just gotten weird at other ones as a direct result of getting good at Vietnamese

I've managed to modify the existing xtts files to have it work, but that's where I'm lost at making copies specifically for viXTTS

Any help would be greatly appreciated thx!

More information I'm finding and trying to figure out for my docs

https://docs.coqui.ai/en/latest/implementing_a_new_model.html#template-tts-model-implementation

This is more for adding completely new model architectures, which wouldn't apply in this case. Btw the docs from the fork are at https://coqui-tts.readthedocs.io There are no major differences, but I've organised the pages a bit better and a few small things here and there are fixed

[DrewThomasson]

Thx, I'll look at those more as I'm also trying to add styletts2 to coqui as another PR 👍

This viXTTS was more of a "baby steps" as its almost a duplicate of the existing xttsv2 but with a few changes in the config files

Cool! Yeah, having StyleTTS2 would be great, even just the inference code. Feel free to open a draft PR anytime to get feedback. I'm happy to help with fitting it into the Coqui framework.

From a quick look everything in dev...DrewThomasson:coqui-ai-TTS:Viet-Support seems fine. Adding it in .models.json should be enough to show it as a separate option under tts --list_models and download the model files into a separate folder, it shouldn't replace the Coqui XTTS model. Is there any specific issue you're seeing?

[DrewThomasson]

No I think I figured it out, Thanks!
It was just correctly modifying the .models.json as you said
