SendVideo doesn't work for iPhone

[pyed]

the testing has been done with the following code.

package main

import (
    "log"

    "github.com/Syfaro/telegram-bot-api"
)

func main() {
    bot, err := tgbotapi.NewBotAPI("YourAwesomeAPIToken")
    if err != nil {
        log.Panic(err)
    }

    bot.Debug = true

    log.Printf("Authorized on account %s", bot.Self.UserName)

    u := tgbotapi.NewUpdate(0)
    u.Timeout = 60

    err = bot.UpdatesChan(u)
    if err != nil {
        log.Panic(err)
    }

    videofile := "1.mp4"
    for update := range bot.Updates {
        log.Printf("[%s] %s", update.Message.From.UserName, update.Message.Text)

        msg := tgbotapi.NewMessage(update.Message.Chat.ID, "video on the way")
        msg.ReplyToMessageID = update.Message.MessageID

        bot.SendMessage(msg)

        newVid := tgbotapi.NewVideoUpload(update.Message.Chat.ID, videofile)
        if _, err := bot.SendVideo(newVid); err != nil {
            log.Panic(err)
        }
    }
}

I tested sending videos with multiple mp4 files and they all show the same behavior, when the bot sends them they will have no thumbnail, and the time of the video will be 00:00, also I should mention that on the iPhone Telegram app they can not be played!, it will just show a black background, on the OS X client it will work, but as I said, no thumbnail and no time.

I don't think that this is an API issue, because the OS X client handles them perfectly, using the drop-in feature it will ask you to send them with compression or "in a quick way", if you choose without compression I believe it will send them as a document, with the compression they'll be okay.

My best guess is that Telegram for Mac is reencoding them in a different format, I'll have to play around with that.

I'm closing this issue because it's obviously related to encoding issues, not some issue with this library.
