This is actually due to poor support of mp4 in Firefox.

create Dockerfile with the following

FROM selenium/standalone-firefox-debug:3.14.0-curium

RUN sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y software-properties-common
RUN sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe multiverse" && sudo apt-get update
RUN sudo apt-get install -y ubuntu-restricted-extras

Run it

sudo docker network create selenium
sudo docker build -f Dockerfile -t wewhatsapp/selinium-ff:latest .
sudo docker run -d -p 4444:4444 -p 5900:5900 --network selenium --name firefox -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm webwhatsapp/selinium-ff:latest

Make sure that your video file is less than 16MB and that it is in format MP4 (H264 + aac)

Make sure that your video file is less than 16MB and that it is in format MP4 (H264 + aac)

Why do you have this limitation? I tried to use the media upload for files bigger than 50mb but it does not work. and whatsapp allows you to send files up to 100mb. would you have any way to send files in the maximum size of 100mb?

To add to the previous post I solved the problem in centos installing these:

yum install -y http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/dextop/el7/x86_64/nux-dextop-release-0-5.el7.nux.noarch.rpm

yum install -y gstreamer{,1}-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree gstreamer1-plugins-bad-freeworld ffmpeg

Dockerfile for firefox Image:

RUN sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates
