Creative Tonie does not play anything

Ondra_Hejna · June 30, 2025, 7:42pm

Hello,

I purchased Toniebox (esp32 version) to add content in my language for my kids. First I set it up using official application and tried assigning some random audio to the Creative Tonie that came with the box. It worked as expected. I also assume the official firmware got updated during the process.

Afterwards, I set up the Teddycloud using Docker Desktop on my Windows computer and after many failed attempts, I managed to have the Toniebox visible in the Teddycloud webUI. I am accessing it via IP address 192.168.1.5 (range of my router). I see one Tonie within Tonies section but when I link my uploaded content (converted into .taf file) with this tonie and place the Tonie on the box, simply nothing happens. I tried syncing (holding ear for couple seconds), power cycling the box, remapping the Tonie figur (deleting content folder via container and via Teddybench) but nothing happens - this is the output of the docker logs - it does not pick the Tonie when I place it on the box at all. I am simply out of ideas what is the culprit here

The file is available in the expected path? You did not rename the file after assigning to the Tonie?

Ondra_Hejna · July 2, 2025, 1:54pm

What do you mean expected path please? I uploaded the file to library and assigned it to the creative tonie (found previously by placing it on box (had to switch to sync mode by holding one ear for few seconds). I tried both keeping the original name and also changing name to content.taf afterwards.

Please check if the path and filename in the edit dialog of the tag is the right one. If you rename the file after assigning the file, the link is broken.

Solved - I had the boards just lying around and not connected the bottom connector to the header of the NFC reader. I did not realise that’s how the reader is talking to the board, sorry. Now it is working as expected and I am waiting for tags from RFIDfriend to start filling it for my kids. Thank you!
