Views Field Integration

Add a TTS player to each row in a Views display. This is useful for content listings such as blog indexes, podcast archives, or article feeds where visitors may want to listen to individual items.

Add the Views field

1. Edit or create a View at Structure > Views (/admin/structure/views)
2. Click Add in the Fields section
3. Search for TTS Player and add it
4. Configure the field label and position, then click Apply
5. Save the View

How it works

The Views field plugin (LocalTtsPlayer) is attached to the node_field_data base table via hook_views_data_alter(). For each row in the View, it renders a TTS player for that node using the shared TtsPlayerBuilder service.

Voice and speed settings use the site-wide defaults from the Voices tab.

Cache overview View

The module bundles a second Views integration for the TTS cache table. This powers the cache overview at **Configuration > Media > Local TTS

Cache** (/admin/config/media/local-tts/cache), which shows all cached audio files with inline players, file sizes, voice, language, and creation date.

The cache View exposes the local_tts_cache table as a Views base table with these fields:

Field	Description
Player	Inline audio player for the cached file
File size	Size of the OGG file on disk
Voice	Kokoro voice used for generation
Language	Language code of the audio
Created	When the audio was generated

When to use this method

• You build content listings where each row should have its own player
• You want visitors to preview audio directly from a listing page
• You build a custom admin view of generated audio

Limitations

• Currently limited to nodes (node_field_data); other entity types are not supported in Views
• No per-row voice or speed configuration; all rows use site defaults
• The player renders for every row, which may be slow on Views with many items
