@viniciusgdr I fixed the issue by checking if the message is video and then uploading it as a document.

let options: WAWebJS.MessageSendOptions = {
      caption: hasBody,
      sendAudioAsVoice: true
    };
    if (media.mimetype.includes("video")) {
      options = {
        caption: hasBody,
        sendAudioAsVoice: true,
        sendMediaAsDocument: true
      };
    }
    const sentMessage = await wbot.sendMessage(
      `${ticket.contact.number}@${ticket.isGroup ? "g" : "c"}.us`,
      newMedia,
      options
    );````

yep same thing

i can only send as sendMediaDocument = true

and its look ugly

any fix to send as video ?

[tofers]

WhatsApp is capricious about video. Go to the official site and check whether your video is suitable or not

[allexxis]

I solve it without looking ugly by not using pupeteer defaults : You need to set this env variable PUPPETEER_SKIP_CHROMIUM_DOWNLOAD=true And install chrome into your server/pc manually. This is my example using docker

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y wget gnupg \
    && wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | apt-key add - \
    && sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list' \
    && apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable fonts-ipafont-gothic fonts-wqy-zenhei fonts-thai-tlwg fonts-kacst fonts-freefont-ttf libxss1 \
      --no-install-recommends \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

ENV CHROME_BIN=google-chrome-stable

Then on whatsappjs

const wbot: Session = new Client({
        session: sessionCfg,
        authStrategy: new LocalAuth({ clientId: `bd_${whatsapp.id}` }),
        puppeteer: {
          executablePath: process.env.CHROME_BIN || undefined,
          browserWSEndpoint: process.env.CHROME_WS || undefined,
          args: args.split(" ")
        }
      });

This works beacuse chrome is able to send video format as requested by whatsapp and chromium will not.

[hmne]

this did not work withe my project

const client = new Client({ puppeteer: { executablePath: process.env.CHROME_BIN || undefined, browserWSEndpoint: process.env.CHROME_WS || undefined, args: ["--no-sandbox"] }, authStrategy: new LocalAuth({ clientId: bd_${undefined}`, dataPath: constants.sessionPath}) });

[GeorgesdaSilva]

Same error for me too.

What size you media is, and what kind?

[allexxis]

You fix this by using chrome instead of pupeteer default chromium

i am still facing this issue:

Error during sending message: Error: Evaluation failed: N 1|index | at ExecutionContext._evaluateInternal (//node_modules/puppeteer/lib/cjs/puppeteer/common/ExecutionContext.js:221:19)

i am still facing this issue:

Error during sending message: Error: Evaluation failed: N 1|index | at ExecutionContext._evaluateInternal (//node_modules/puppeteer/lib/cjs/puppeteer/common/ExecutionContext.js:221:19)

I managed to solve this, besides passing the chrome path to puppeter:

new Client({
    authStrategy: new LocalAuth(),
    webVersionCache: {
        type: "remote",
        remotePath: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wppconnect-team/wa-version/main/html/2.2332.15.html',
    },
    puppeteer: {
        executablePath: '/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable',
        args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox'],
        headless: true
    }
})

But also converting the video to mp4 with ffmpeg (Sometimes even though the video was already in .mp4 it gave the error, so when using ffmpeg it works):

const { exec } = require("child_process")

exec(`ffmpeg -i ${filePath} -preset superfast -crf 30 -c:v libx264 ${newPath}`, (err, stdout, stderr) => {
                if(err){
                    console.log(`convert video error: ${err}`)
                    return resolve(null)

                }else{
                    console.log(`convert video success`)
                    return resolve(newPath)

                }
            })

And then I send the video like this: message.reply(MessageMedia.fromFilePath(newPath))

[s4suryapal]

I am already using that :

const store = new MongoStore({ mongoose: mongoose });
        let browser_path = '/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable'; // for Linux
        if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production') {
            browser_path = '/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome'; // for Mac OS
        }
        const client = new Client({
            authStrategy: new LocalAuth({
                store: store,
                backupSyncIntervalMs: 300000
            }),
            puppeteer: {
                executablePath: browser_path,
                headless: true,
                args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox', '--disable-extensions']
            },
            restartOnAuthFail: true
        });

I'm encountering an issue while attempting to send a video file using whatsapp-web.js with a CDN URL such as []("https://download.ig-10-data.xyz/ig/1709204866/a5e9ee198d0c2b9f241f65c88ccb596be76a6e120e31114e5a354773a75a77b7?file=aHR0cHM6Ly9zY29udGVudC5jZG5pbnN0YWdyYW0uY29tL3YvdDY2LjMwMTAwLTE2LzEwMDAwMDAwXzkyNTQxNjA1NTgxNjA2N18zNzE0MjE2ODYxOTEyNzc1NTE0X24ubXA0P19uY19odD1zY29udGVudC1mcmEzLTIuY2RuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbSZfbmNfY2F0PTExMSZfbmNfb2hjPTdja3FnQ0hQX29nQVgtUVcwSHkmZWRtPUFQX1YxMEVCQUFBQSZjY2I9Ny01Jm9oPTAwX0FmQzNKbzduZ3ItN1ZwQmdQazU4LVJEQ28zTU9WQndIRTRLZFg3SlBOdWlkZ1Emb2U9NjVFMjBEOTYmX25jX3NpZD0yOTk5YjgmbmFtZT1TYXZlSUcuQXBwXzMyNzg1ODkzMDAyNDAwNTUwMTIubXA0". When using this URL, I receive an error message: "Error during sending video: Error: Evaluation failed: N".)

Additional Context:

The issue does not occur when sending small video files using other URLs, such as "https://interactive-examples.mdn.mozilla.net/media/cc0-videos/flower.mp4". I have attempted various approaches to resolve the issue, including using buffer-based methods as mentioned in the whatsapp-web.js documentation, but the problem persists specifically with CDN URLs. Any insights or suggestions on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@pedroslopez @PurpShell please help

Just send the video in .mov format

const media = new MessageMedia('video/mov', b64data, title);
