Added: Additional DTMF frames

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -5,6 +5,81 @@ All notable changes to **Pipecat** will be documented in this file.
 The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
 and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- It is now possible to specify the asyncio event loop that a `PipelineTask` and
+  all the processors should run on by passing it as a new argument to the
+  `PipelineRunner`. This could allow running pipelines in multiple threads each
+  one with its own event loop.
+
+- Added a new `utils.TaskManager`. Instead of a global task manager we now have
+  a task manager per `PipelineTask`. In the previous version the task manager
+  was global, so running multiple simultaneous `PipelineTask`s could result in
+  dangling task warnings which were not actually true. In order, for all the
+  processors to know about the task manager, we pass it through the
+  `StartFrame`. This means that processors should create tasks when they receive
+  a `StartFrame` but not before (because they don't have a task manager yet).
+
+- Added `TelnyxFrameSerializer` to support Telnyx calls. A full running example
+  has also been added to `examples/telnyx-chatbot`.
+
+- Allow pushing silence audio frames before `TTSStoppedFrame`. This might be
+  useful for testing purposes, for example, passing bot audio to an STT service
+  which usually needs additional audio data to detect the utterance stopped.
+
+- `TwilioSerializer` now supports transport message frames. With this we can
+  create Twilio emulators.
+
+- Added a new transport: `WebsocketClientTransport`.
+
+- Added a `metadata` field to `Frame` which makes it possible to pass custom
+  data to all frames.
+
+- Added `test/utils.py` inside of pipecat package.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Added `organization` and `project` level authentication to
+  `OpenAILLMService`.
+
+- Improved the language checking logic in `ElevenLabsTTSService` and
+  `ElevenLabsHttpTTSService` to properly handle language codes based on model
+  compatibility, with appropriate warnings when language codes cannot be
+  applied.
+
+- Updated `GoogleLLMContext` to support pushing `LLMMessagesUpdateFrame`s that
+  contain a combination of function calls, function call responses, system
+  messages, or just messages.
+
+- `InputDTMFFrame` is now based on `DTMFFrame`. There's also a new
+  `OutputDTMFFrame` frame.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed an issue where `ElevenLabsTTSService` messages would return a 1009
+  websocket error by increasing the max message size limit to 16MB.
+
+- Fixed a `DailyTransport` issue that would cause events to be triggered before
+  join finished.
+
+- Fixed a `PipelineTask` issue that was preventing processors to be cleaned up
+  after cancelling the task.
+
+- Fixed an issue where queuing a `CancelFrame` to a pipeline task would not
+  cause the task to finish. However, using `PipelineTask.cancel()` is still the
+  recommended way to cancel a task.
+
+### Other
+
+- Updated examples to use `task.cancel()` to immediately exit the example when a
+  participant leaves or disconnects, instead of pushing an `EndFrame`. Pushing
+  an `EndFrame` causes the bot to run through everything that is internally
+  queued (which could take some seconds). Note that using `task.cancel()` might
+  not always be the best option and pushing an `EndFrame` could still be
+  desirable to make sure all the pipeline is flushed.
+

+# Bot ready signaling
+
+A simple Pipecat example demonstrating how to handle signaling between the client and the bot, 
+ensuring that the bot starts sending audio only when the client is available, 
+thereby avoiding the risk of cutting off the beginning of the audio.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### First, start the bot server:
+
+1. Navigate to the server directory:
+   ```bash
+   cd server
+   ```
+2. Create and activate a virtual environment:
+   ```bash
+   python3 -m venv venv
+   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate
+   ```
+3. Install requirements:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+4. Copy env.example to .env and configure:
+   - Add your API keys
+5. Start the server:
+   ```bash
+   python server.py
+   ```
+
+### Next, connect using the client app:
+
+For client-side setup, refer to the [JavaScript Guide](client/javascript/README.md).
+
+## Important Note
+
+Ensure the bot server is running before using any client implementations.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.10+
+- Node.js 16+ (for JavaScript)
+- Daily API key
+- Cartesia API key
+- Modern web browser with WebRTC support

+
+            ### **Standard Operating Procedure:**
+
+            #### **Step 1: Detect if You Are Speaking to Voicemail**
+            - If you hear **any variation** of the following:
+            - **"Please leave a message after the beep."**
+            - **"No one is available to take your call."**
+            - **"Record your message after the tone."**
+            - **Any phrase that suggests an answering machine or voicemail.**
+            - **ASSUME IT IS A VOICEMAIL. DO NOT WAIT FOR MORE CONFIRMATION.**
+
+            #### **Step 2: Leave a Voicemail Message**
+            - Immediately say:  
+            *"Hello, this is a message for Pipecat example user. This is Chatbot. Please call back on 123-456-7891. Thank you."*
+            - **IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE MESSAGE, CALL `terminate_call`.**
+            - **DO NOT SPEAK AFTER CALLING `terminate_call`.**
+            - **FAILURE TO CALL `terminate_call` IMMEDIATELY IS A MISTAKE.**
+
+            #### **Step 3: If Speaking to a Human**
+            - If the call is answered by a human, say:  
+            *"Oh, hello! I'm a friendly chatbot. Is there anything I can help you with?"*
+            - Keep responses **brief and helpful**.
+            - If the user no longer needs assistance, **call `terminate_call` immediately.**
+
+            ---
+
+            ### **General Rules**
+            - **DO NOT continue speaking after leaving a voicemail.**
+            - **DO NOT wait after a voicemail message. ALWAYS call `terminate_call` immediately.**
+            - Your output will be converted to audio, so **do not include special characters or formatting.**

+# Telnyx Chatbot
+
+This project is a FastAPI-based chatbot that integrates with Telnyx to handle WebSocket connections and provide real-time communication. The project includes endpoints for starting a call and handling WebSocket connections.

+
+## Features
+
+- **FastAPI**: A modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+.
+- **WebSocket Support**: Real-time communication using WebSockets.
+- **CORS Middleware**: Allowing cross-origin requests for testing.
+- **Dockerized**: Easily deployable using Docker.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.10
+- Docker (for containerized deployment)
+- ngrok (for tunneling)
+- Telnyx Account
+
+## Installation
+
+1. **Set up a virtual environment** (optional but recommended):
+
+   ```sh
+   python -m venv venv
+   source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows, use `venv\Scripts\activate`
+   ```
+
+2. **Install dependencies**:
+
+   ```sh
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+3. **Create .env**:
+   Copy the example environment file and update with your settings:
+
+   ```sh
+   cp env.example .env
+   ```
+
+4. **Install ngrok**:
+   Follow the instructions on the [ngrok website](https://ngrok.com/download) to download and install ngrok.
+
+## Configure Telnyx TeXML application
+
+1. **Start ngrok**:
+   In a new terminal, start ngrok to tunnel the local server:
+
+   ```sh
+   ngrok http 8765
+   ```
+
+2. **Update the Telnyx TeXML applications Webhook**:
+
+   - Go to your TeXML configuration page
+   - Provide the ngrok URL to the Webhook URL field and ensure the POST method is selected
+   - Click Save at the bottom of the page
+
+3. **Configure streams.xml**:
+   - Copy the template file to create your local version:
+     ```sh
+     cp templates/streams.xml.template templates/streams.xml
+     ```
+   - In `templates/streams.xml`, replace `<your server url>` with your ngrok URL (without `https://`)
+   - The final URL should look like: `wss://abc123.ngrok.io/ws`
+   - The encoding (`bidirectionalCodec`) should be `PCMU` or `PCMA` depending on your needs. Based on selected encoding, set the outbound_encoding in `server.py` when the bot is initialized.
+   - The inbound encoding can be controlled from the application configuration for inbound calls and dial/transfer commands for outbound calls.
+
+## Running the Application
+
+Choose one of these two methods to run the application:
+
+### Using Python (Option 1)
+
+**Run the FastAPI application**:
+
+```sh
+# Make sure you’re in the project directory and your virtual environment is activated
+python server.py
+```
+
+### Using Docker (Option 2)
+
+1. **Build the Docker image**:
+
+   ```sh
+   docker build -t telnyx-chatbot .
+   ```
+
+2. **Run the Docker container**:
+   ```sh
+   docker run -it --rm -p 8765:8765 telnyx-chatbot
+   ```
+
+The server will start on port 8765. Keep this running while you test with Telnyx.
+
+## Usage
+
+To start a call, simply make a call to your configured Telnyx phone number. The webhook URL will direct the call to your FastAPI application, which will handle it accordingly.
