seems to work now! I’ll do some more detailled testing today (several messages after one another etc).

maybe I’m asking too much, but this totally does not work (no images sent):

furthermore, in this less complicated scenario, when the whatsapp-app is invoked several times (e.g. movement detected, so the security camera triggers several times), it stops working (i.e. it stops sending images and messages alltogether).

sorry I cant see in your image why it doesnt work 😉  
No images, or no messages at all? I tested yesterday, even when sending a wrong image it does send. Also you mentioned before it does work, so i’m trying to understand what you mean

And Calling it too often, yeah thats a issue. But I cant really work around that, that are the limitations i’m facing of this implementation. That’s also mentioned in the disclaimer, you will risk a ban as well with spamming the whatsapp server

Can you try to repair your device, I asked that before, but not sure if you did that

@TMS_TMS i found a small issue in my latest release which can cause the app to become unresponsive. should be fixed in 1.19.10.

some info: I’m changing the behaviour of the image thumbnail as that seems to cause issue in the message (i guess…).  
But in the previous release i removed the thumbnail which will throw an error in the library.

So that should be fixed, hopefully will resolve your issue aswell

@TMS_TMS I managed to reproduce the issue with the image. seems like it’s related to the image refreshing every 1 second, and that why it breaks on the app. Will try to make a fix
