play wav only sends static (audio)

[AlexKohanim]

Hello, I'm loving this project so far which has greatly simplified the API calls for the amcrest camera.

I am currently testing with this camera [IP2M-841B]. And have run into one issue so far.

I'm using the pypip package to run the funcions.

For recording which works:
camera = AmcrestCamera(ip, 80, 'user', 'password').camera camera.audio_stream_capture( httptype="singlepart", channel=1, path_file="audio.wav")

But trying to "stream" the same file just plays back about 10 seconds of static:
camera = AmcrestCamera(ip, 80, 'user', 'password').camera camera.play_wav("singlepart", channel=1, path_file="audio.wav")

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Amcrest,

I would love some more information on sending audio with the API. In particular I would like to stream audio to the device but even just playing a wav file is proving difficult as brought to light in this issue. My company is very interested in Amcrest offerings but two-way audio is vital for our use case.

The solution discussed in the issue linked below is not solved despite being marked so.
#75

More guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @tylertroy

My team has a fix for this. I don't have it with me right now, but I remember it was due to a hardcoded file type or hardcoded stream type for the audio sent.

I have never made a PR officially, so it might take a bit to get the change here, unless someone has the time to help me out.

Take care,
