What is the macOS version that you are using? On macOS Ventura it correctly plays the file directly in Beagle IM.

@hantu85 I installed it with brew + cask, could it be it ?

Ventura 13.4

Maybe I need to give a permission, something like that ?

No, that would not cause this issue. But now, as I've rewatched your screen capture I understand what is happening.

You did not click on the 'play' button, but on 'open' button, and open action should open received audio file in the installed on the device audio player - and that is done. However Apple Music fails to play - why? Only Apple knows.

To play audio file in Beagle, click on round button with triangle one the right side. Only clicking in this area will play the file.

Nono, I clicked on the round button (play ) with triangle, sometimes, and after that I clicked on the file.

I could reproduce other sources of audio, but it was audios that the client downloaded from other sources, or sent to me.

I could thin down the problem to: IF I send the audio, I can't play it, but If I receive the audio, or sent from other clients it count as downloaded and I can play it.

I think that the file (after being sent) is lost so Beagle is unable to play it and Apple Music as well (as it cannot find a file). I'll look into that.

okay.

but apple music could find the file.

If Apple Music could find the file then Beagle IM exposing this file should as well. Moreover, the code for playing incoming and outgoing messages is the same, so I do not have any ideas why this would randomly not work.

@hantu85 , is there a way we can go over this together ? I can share screen, or even try to build it locally and we pair programn, I believe this is worth looking into . since it's "the best" xmpp messenger for Mac.
