Description

Sorry if it is a dumb question, but I can't seem to figure out which models are which. I followed the instructions for installing, which includes downloading from huggingface. However, the inference voice list is empty, even if I restarted the program. I am new to this so I might be missing something, any help is appreciated.

Research direction
First, verify that the pretrained model files have been downloaded correctly from Hugging Face and placed in the expected directory. Then, check the configuration file (e.g., config.json) to ensure the model path is set properly. Look at the webui's model loading routine in the Python source code (likely in `modules/` or `infer.py`) to see why the voice list remains empty. Inspect any error logs for missing file exceptions or incorrect paths. If the issue persists, replicate the installation steps in a clean environment to confirm the documentation is accurate.
