Type Photo - undefined

[dibadodo]

Hello, i'm unable to send a photo. Each time i get this error: TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined object Thats the msg that i send to send node:

payload: object content: "/tmp/klingel.jpg" chatid: "123456" type: "photo"

Any hint about the problem?

Thank you

??? Error Connection Reset is very strange. How big is the file? Habe you tried another image yet?

Sending text messages work or?

is someting written to the console?

[dibadodo]

the picture have a size of 450kb a other picture with 205b on same directory works

But 450kb should work to. That should not be to large

which console you are meaning? I have no entry in message log

[dibadodo]

i have to correct me. With your example i see this messages inside of message log

I guess that photo can be 10MB. Maybe you can send the photo to my email account and then I can check if I can send it. If yes, then therer must be a problem with your setup. If no, then we must have a look at the image …

[dibadodo]

The Image is a picture from IP Cam. When someone use my doorbell the cam take a picture and this picture should be send with telegram. I can send this picture with the normal client. Sometimes it work over the api. One time... Because that I 'm able to send a very small image, a button.png from same system, i think the base setup is ok. But i have no idea where is the problem to send this image. I have tested it with other images, smaller (45 - 160kB) and bigger (2MB) and with other type (png), with the same result.

Please try to send the image as content without reading from harddisc: see https://discourse.nodered.org/t/taking-a-picture-and-sending-it-via-telegram/27905/4

@dibadodo did you try it out? is this still an issue? can I close it?

[dibadodo]

I have still the problem. A short time i got the images but no more. I don't know why or why not. I have nothing changed. I think it is a timing problem. but for now i have to do some other things. I will try it later again. Think Christmas time is nice for that ;) thank you again for your support and sorry for the delay
