People can't open pictures sent by the bot?

[Madrid-Lux]

Hey, another issue, this time I think it's a bug? When using self.client.send_chat_image(chat_message.group_jid, "test.jpg", True) It sends the picture, but on Kik when clicking on that picture, it just says "failed to load".

I'll be playing around with chatting.py to see what could fix it. Anyone know any workarounds?

That's interesting, try the code from https://github.com/tomer8007/kik-bot-api-unofficial/issues/143

I don't recall any errors appearing from the photos that I sent using it.(and the photos that I sent were literally designed to be some sort of maxed out size bomb)

But then again, it was sent via private message rather than group chat. I don't think there should be much of a difference though if you were to just replace from_jid with group_jid.

Would png and jpg make a difference?

EDIT: no difference nope

Tested code from #143, still the same issue. It happens via private message & group chat too.

To get to the bottom of all of this we first need to figure out why kik outputs that error exactly. There is a reason involving networking issues and then there is the reason involving formatting issues or perhaps pixel issues, try analysing the photos that you send via camera/gallery and then try analyzing them when they are sent via API.

Nothing new, same issue. I've noticed that changing the app names & app IDs for pictures chatting.py (attempting to fix it, the error did not come after I edited these values) really doesn't..work?

[Madrid-Lux]

Any updates? It would be highly appreciated! Thanks. Changing App IDs and App Names in chatting.py doesn't change anything much.

No, we are procrastinating.

It’s not a bug, it was just never implemented. The only thing that is sent is a preview of the image, not the full-size image.

For the image to fully upload you need to use a HTTP POST request to https://platform.kik.com/content/files/{CONTENT UUID HERE} and you need to add a bunhc of headers, some of which include your jid and hashed password, along with several hashes of the file itself (MD5, salted SHA-1, blockhash using Kik C library [apk/lib/libkikhash.so]) so if you'd be able to implement all that into python perfectly, I'd be impressed. Good luck lol

The headers I found (in double quotes) were:

• "Content-Length"
• "User-Agent"
• "x-kik-jid" (your JID)
• "x-kik-password" (your hashed password)
• "x-kik-verification" (sha1 hash of uuids - salted)
• "x-kik-app-id" (content uuid)
• "x-kik-content-chunks" (how many files you're uploading)

(These next headers repeat for each 'chunk', I believe. You'd be best to try to upload one chunk at a time until you figure it out)

• "x-kik-chunk-number" (starts at 0)
• "x-kik-content-size" (size of file you're uploading, in bytes I believe)
• "x-kik-content-md5" (some hash)
• "x-kik-sha1-original" (some hash)
• "x-kik-sha1-scaled" (some hash)
• "x-kik-blockhash-scaled" (some hash)
• "x-kik-content-extension" (.jpg, .mp4, etc)
• "Content-Type"

If you can figure all these hashes out, you're basically god.
