Audio and video upload!

[AprendendoLinux]

Dear,

I start by apologizing, because I'm Brazilian and I'm still learning to write in English. I found this fantastic solution.

I would like to know how I can send .mp3 or .ogg audios with this solution. I would also like to be able to upload videos.

I'm waiting for responses.

Yours sincerely,

Hi @AprendendoLinux

Your English is quite good 🙂

There is basic support in Mudslide for sending binary files, for example:

npx mudslide@latest send-file me hello.mp3

Does this work for your use-case?

Kind regards, Rob

Hi @robvanderleek,

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was away from my professional activities for family reasons.

So, my need is to send audio, without being in file mode. I want the recipient to simply click inside the play button within Whatsapp to listen to it.

Yours sincerely,

Henrique Fagundes Project Manager Aprendendo Linux

Hi @AprendendoLinux

I've added a --type flag to the send-file command, this will cause audio and video files to be rendered as playable messages in WhatsApp. Please see the README for details.

Let me know if this works for your use-case.

KR, Rob

Hi @robvanderleek,

Thank you so much for this! You don't know how much you've helped me.

I took the liberty of putting your solution in a docker container, to make other people's lives easier. https://github.com/AprendendoLinux/whatscli

Hi @AprendendoLinux

Great to hear it works for you 🙂

Be aware that WA (Meta) might block access for the Baileys library (this project depends on) at any time, they can also ban accounts, so don't become too dependent on it.

Kind regards, Rob
