Cannot bridge view once media
I got this error in matrix when testing with view once both video and image
Unsupported message (*waArmadilloApplication.Armadillo_Content_RavenMessageMsgr)
Please open in Messenger app
In the bridge logs:
2024-10-14T10:11:28.729Z WRN Unrecognized armadillo content type action="handle remote event" bridge_evt_type=RemoteEventMessage content_type=*waArmadilloApplication.Armadillo_Content_RavenMessageMsgr event_loop_index=21 message_id=7251535068118852856 portal_id=8341548332618616 portal_mxid=!ZwdPctYFgwdzPMpVng:example.com sender_id=100045218265910:4@msgr source_id=100045218265910
View once message seems to not being displayed as "unsupported message" most of the time. It is just not displayed at all. Once I had the "unsupported message, Open in Instagram : "
android version: 14 beeper version: 4.19.0
I don't think it can be fixed - these types of media cannot be seen even on official web apps
It should at least be marked as "not supported image" to inform that there is a content, as it is in the officiel webapp. For now we don't even know when we receive one of this images.
Chiming in to propose the Instagram direct_v2/threads/{thread_id}/ endpoint for mobile devices, which can actually retrieve this type of message along with the media URL. Just my 2 cents. Might mess around and fork, but I'd have to take a GoLang 101 crash course first 😅
I think the https://github.com/mautrix/instagram bridge used to support view-once media? Not 100% sure
Edit: there is ViewMode.Once in the code of the legacy instagram bridge but I'm not sure that it's used anywhere, it's probably ignored/treated like a permanent message.
In the meta bridge there is something specific to WhatsApp: https://github.com/mautrix/meta/blob/bdf1a35814faa1b8823e2accc71c4ed9e17ca7d9/pkg/msgconv/from-whatsapp.go#L285-L293
