Self destructing photo, dont download.

Code that causes the issue

...
if message.media:
                path = ""
                try:
                    print(message)
                    save = await self.client.get_entity(-4222209239)
                    path = await self.client.download_media(message)
                    await self.client.send_file(save, path, caption=f"Save: {user.first_name}")
                    os.remove(path)
                except Exception as er:
                    await self.client.send_message('me', 'Error: '+str(er))
                    try:
                        await self.client.send_file('me', path, caption=f"Save: {user.first_name}")
                        os.remove(path)
                    except:
                        pass
...

Expected behavior

A self-destructing photo arrives (to be viewed once), the code downloads the image and sends it to another channel.

Actual behavior

A self-destructing photo arrives (to be viewed once), the code gives an error that the media type is not supported.

Checklist

• [x] The error is in the library's code, and not in my own.
• [X] I have searched for this issue before posting it and there isn't an open duplicate.
• [X] I ran pip install -U https://github.com/LonamiWebs/Telethon/archive/v1.zip and triggered the bug in the latest version.

[vanylav]

Forgot to add, the code works fine for self-destructing photos with a 3s, 10s, 30s delay.

[Lonami]

Telethon version 1.27.0

Only the latest version is supported.

[vanylav]

I also tried it on 1.36.0. UPD: Should I create a new issue?

[Lonami]

Stil unlikely there's anything the library can do for media unsupported until an update.

Use v2

[Lonami]

v2 is not ready for use (and the library version doesn't matter, only the layer used).
