If you are interested in a work around, you can use a slightly older version of the code.

Checkout this commit for the tg repository

https://github.com/vysheng/tg/commit/4630862924102ce508132296670c7c712bc65ee2

And this commit in the tgl repository: https://github.com/vysheng/tgl/commit/0205b668d3abcf35a348556776d1180439d115d9

do a ./configure and a make and it's back working again.

Hi, thanks, and in older version (1.0.4) listen port working with this fix? In 1.0.4 not present "port to listen for input commands"

@eliafino

Sorry I missed your question.

If you complied telegram using the above commits (a month or so old) you will get this version of telegram:

Telegram-cli version 1.1.1

With these options available:

telegram-cli Usage
  -u                  specify username (would not be asked during authorization)
  -k                  specify location of public key (possible multiple entries)
  -v                  increase verbosity (0-ERROR 1-WARNIN 2-NOTICE 3+-DEBUG-levels)
  -N                  message num mode
  -c                  config file name
  -p                  use specified profile
  -l                  log level
  -f                  during authorization fetch all messages since registration
  -E                  disable auto accept of encrypted chats
  -s                  lua script file
  -W                  send dialog_list query and wait for answer before reading input
  -C                  disable color output
  -R                  disable readline
  -d                  daemon mode
  -L <log-name>       log file name
  -U <user-name>      change uid after start
  -G <group-name>     change gid after start
  -D                  disable output
  -P <port>           port to listen for input commands
  -S <socket-name>    unix socket to create

@jonnywilliamson thanks very much! I try many times, but no luck... ... sorry, I'm not an expert of git

Please, if isn't too much, write step by step command to have telegram-cli with audio/video working...

Thanks

[jonnywilliamson]

@eliafino No problem. This is what I did. No doubt someone will tell me there was a much quicker way, but so far this has been working really well.

Warning - I'm not sure if this bug (https://github.com/vysheng/tg/issues/440) will cause you problems registering, hopefully not. I had my numbers registered before this bug appeared and haven't had to register any more since.

Did you make sure that your ~/.telegram-cli directory was removed/clean first before you tried all the above?

If you've had another version of the telegram-cli built before and you've run it, it will have created a folder called ./.telegram-cli in your home folder (notice the dot before the word telegram-cli). Just remove this and try running the newly build telegram binary again.

I can tell you for sure that sending a video is working on my build which I created using the above method.
