What do you know about telegram premium and his 4gb file size?

[simonlkch]

today, telegram have already release the premium function.

This change is necessary to support 4GB files uploaded by premium accounts. Basiclly, premium accounts have x2 quota to compare the free account such as MAX_FILE_SIZE and CAPTION_MAX_LENGTH become 4GB and 2048

According tg doc, User class have add one more parameter, is_premium True Optional. True, if this user is a Telegram Premium user

@simonlkch To get the premium upload working with increased limits , we just change the _MAX_FILESIZE & _CAPTION_MAXLENGTH in files.py here or need to do some other changes as well ?

i dont know how to debug the code. but the concept is right. one more step for checking the user is_premium flag.

[simonlkch]

I check the source code, this project is using telethon, in telethon documention, The User Class don't have the is_premium flag. Maybe need telethon to update their library first.

@simonlkch thanks for info

I found this on a channel , so going by this if the is_premium flag is only for indentification by bots . It shouldn't really affect us in the uploads i guess ? ( Just guessing i could be very well wrong )

[simonlkch]

just test it, telethon have set the file size limit, so need wait telethon to upgrade

@simonlkch Can't we just easily fork & edit that condition & then install our own version of telethon ?

pip3 install -U https://github.com/$username/telethon/archive/master.zip

Also on being asked that the premium flag is missing in telethon official group , they replied this - "because premium is implemented in a layer newer than the layer the docs are written for"

[simonlkch]

never say never, you can modify and try it

Yes indeed , thanks to all people who helped me, it should be working fine now in my fork , here it is if you need - pip install https://github.com/xd003/tg/archive/master.zip

Just make sure to uninstall telethon before installing
