DropBackgroundAudio is missing from DubAsync

[cwule]

This property is missing from the payload for the dubbing request via

ElevenLabs-DotNet/ElevenLabs-DotNet/Dubbing/DubbingEndpoint.cs

Line 32 in e642904

public async Task<DubbingProjectMetadata> DubAsync(DubbingRequest request, int? maxRetries = null, TimeSpan? pollingInterval = null, IProgress<DubbingProjectMetadata> progress = null, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)

Pretty sure this was removed from the OpenAPI spec but I'll double check

[StephenHodgson]

@cwule this is no longer part of the OpenAPI spec:

Hmm maybe I was too quick on this. The API ref docs themselves have it.
So confusing.

[StephenHodgson]

Actually I already have it in the request object.

ElevenLabs-DotNet/ElevenLabs-DotNet/Dubbing/DubbingRequest.cs

Line 20 in e642904

bool? dropBackgroundAudio = null,

Use it like so:

var request = new DubbingRequest(filePath, "es", "en", 1, dropBackgroundAudio: true);
var metadata = await ElevenLabsClient.DubbingEndpoint.DubAsync(request, progress: new Progress<DubbingProjectMetadata>(metadata =>
{
    switch (metadata.Status)
    {
        case "dubbing":
            Console.WriteLine($"Dubbing for {metadata.DubbingId} in progress... Expected Duration: {metadata.ExpectedDurationSeconds:0.00} seconds");
            break;
        case "dubbed":
            Console.WriteLine($"Dubbing for {metadata.DubbingId} complete in {metadata.TimeCompleted.TotalSeconds:0.00} seconds!");
            break;
        default:
            Console.WriteLine($"Status: {metadata.Status}");
            break;
    }
}));

[StephenHodgson]

Ah but I didn't actually put it into the payload in the request method 😅

[cwule]

Great, thanks for looking into that!
