I thought i would get binary file from it to send to openAI, but the output is empty.

What’s the way to change .mp3 file to binary for openai translate node?

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Hey @morfidon,

Welcome to the community :tada:

How are you currently n8n? If you are using npm can you try using \\ or // in the path to see if that helps. If you are using Docker make sure you have the files mounted to a volume in the container so the files can be found.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I’m using it locally.

I had to replace slashes using replaceAll(“\”, “/”)

is there any way to do it faster or I did something wrong way that i need to now replace them all?
