Downloading Video Thumbs

[artin]

Every video message on Telegram has 'thumbs' like this :

array:6 [▼
  "_" => "photoSize"
  "type" => "m"
  "location" => array:3 [▼
    "_" => "fileLocationToBeDeprecated"
    "volume_id" => 400032600322
    "local_id" => 4558
  ]
  "w" => 320
  "h" => 300
  "size" => 19721
]

I am trying to download them but not working and I am getting following error :

{
    "exception": "TypeError",
    "message": "Argument 1 passed to TelegramApiServer\\MadelineProtoExtensions\\ApiExtensions::downloadToResponse() must be of the type array, string given, called in \/home\/telegram\/TelegramApiServer\/src\/Controllers\/AbstractApiController.php on line 169",

            "function": "downloadToResponse",
            "class": "TelegramApiServer\\MadelineProtoExtensions\\ApiExtensions",
            "type": "->"
        },
        {
            "file": "\/home\/telegram\/TelegramApiServer\/src\/Controllers\/ApiController.php",
            "line": 32,
            "function": "callApiCommon",
            "class": "TelegramApiServer\\Controllers\\AbstractApiController",
            "type": "->"
        },
        {
            "file": "\/home\/telegram\/TelegramApiServer\/src\/Controllers\/AbstractApiController.php",
            "line": 145,
            "function": "callApi",
            "class": "TelegramApiServer\\Controllers\\ApiController",
            "type": "->"
        }
    ]
}

I even tried to put it in "Media" array but not success

array:1 [▼
  "media" => array:6 [▼
    "_" => "photoSize"
    "type" => "m"
    "location" => array:3 [▼
      "_" => "fileLocationToBeDeprecated"
      "volume_id" => 400032600322
      "local_id" => 4558
    ]
    "w" => 320
    "h" => 300
    "size" => 19721
  ]
]

Curl Connection is giving following error ( without any error on the TelegramApiServer) Empty reply from server

Did you ever tried to download Video Thumbnail ?

[xtrime-ru]

Thumbs downloaded with hack after TL layer 100:

See sources of this method: https://github.com/xtrime-ru/TelegramApiServer/blob/7015691686d57cd3422567a498ab5a83f5d5f663/src/MadelineProtoExtensions/ApiExtensions.php#L459:L467

Or you can just use it. It will return thumb image to stream/browser. You can provide 'peer' and 'id', or 'message' object;

[artin]

Can you give an example ? Do I have to pass 'message' object like downloadToResponse Method To getMediaPreview ?

Its my custom method. Im using it like this:

https://github.com/xtrime-ru/TelegramRSS/blob/e1e95f0e118be894ea2c7a501f46aaea2096bec3/app/Controller.php#L233

You can provide message object in “message”, or send “peer” and “id”. Ill send examples later if you still need them.

I mean to what Api Address I have to send my request ? getMediaPreview ? Sending 'message' objects data like what We are requesting to download a file ? (downloadToResponse)

something like this ?

curl --location --request POST '127.0.0.1:9503/api/getMediaPreview' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{

}'

It is a little confusing for me ... I tried all methods but no success :(

Please send an example whenever you have free time Спасибо брат :)

I mean to what Api Address I have to send my request ? getMediaPreview ? something like this ?

Address is correct. Requests alsmoust ok :):

--data-raw '{
    "data":{
        "message": {
            "_": "message",
                          ...

Also you can try to switch to shorted version: http://127.0.0.1:9503/api/getMediaPreview?data[peer]=channel%231247413145&data[id][]=11 It will fetch message if it not provided.

Sending 'message' objects data like what We are requesting to download a file ? (downloadToResponse)

Only full messages supported. Im extracting $message['media'] from them :) MediaObjects not supported.

Спасибо брат :)

خوش آمدید ;)

Passing message object didn't work for me .. maybe I am doing something wrong somewhere

but the shorted version just worked perfectly :+1: Thanks :100:

Great. Actually im using only short syntax too. So maybe there is a bug with "message" key :)
