Fixed in 2024.5.6!

Try first the example payload from https://waha.devlike.pro/docs/how-to/send-messages/#send-video-imagesversionspluspng

{
  "session": "default",
  "chatId": "[email protected]",
  "caption": "Watch this video!",
  "file": {
    "mimetype": "video/mp4",
    "filename": "video.mp4",
    "url": "https://github.com/devlikeapro/whatsapp-http-api/raw/core/examples/video.mp4"
  }
}

Personal TY for such detailed report! :heart:

Hi @devlikepro , Still getting same error. I am using latest version (2024.5.7) of devlikeapro/whatsapp-http-api-plus:arm

Sorry, we had to revert the solution, it causes sometime "scan qr" issues. Looking for a way to fix it!

Sure @devlikepro , Thanks for quick reply. Please update here once you fixed.

⚠️ WEBJS (default) engine notes for sending videos ⚠️

• 💡 If you're experiencing "forever loading" issue (#321, #328) - set up WAHA_WEBJS_WEB_VERSION=2.2412.54-videofix environment variable:

docker run -it -p 3000:3000/tcp -e WAHA_WEBJS_WEB_VERSION=2.2412.54-videofix devlikeapro/whatsapp-http-api-plus:chrome

---

I don't close the issue, because it requires additional actions right now. When we added "by default" for all session - we'll close the issue and remove the note

It works! Thanks :)

[devlikepro]

Let's close the issue because it has a workaround. When we moved to new whatsapp (when they released it) - it'll work by default

[egbertomonteiro]

Im facing the same problem. Version: 2024.6.7 no workaround applied. I updated to the latest version a few weeks ago to resolve the random session crashes. If I apply this workaround, will I have any downside?

[devlikepro]

If I apply this workaround, will I have any downside?

Nope, it's regular version, but with the fix!

We're working on fixiing it completely, hopefully soon :crossed_fingers:
