send_video lost file extension

[pista86]

When I run the following command:

send_video Marcelo_Pistarelli /bunny.mp4
36 [14:52] Marcelo Pistarelli <<< [video: type=video/mp4 size=100x100 duration=100 size=5MiB]

I get on my android phone but without the file extension mp4, then the telegram application recognizes it as a generic file without extension and not allow playback from the application.

I have the same issue using the send_document() function.

The file looks like this (no extension):

Log entry is like that:

[17:17]  Admin <<< [document: type=application/octet-stream size=28KiB]

And the error is like this (webogram console):

Error: t.file_name is undefined

UPD:
How it should be:

[17:47]  Admin <<< [document Russian.xml: type=text/xml size=44KiB]

How it is:

[17:45]  Admin <<< [document: type=application/xml size=44KiB]

Same problem with send_audio.
On mobile clients, the file is unusual without the correct extension :-(

> send_audio peer file.ogg
[15:36] peer <<< [audio: type=audio/ogg duration=100 size=9KiB]

Me too for sending video...
... please, fix ^_^

[video: type=video/x-msvideo size=100x100 duration=100 size=708KiB]

But video is 1280x720 and duration 10sec

I've found a workaround: using an older version of tg.
Now I use https://github.com/vysheng/tg/archive/1.0.4.zip and sending audio, photo and video works fine.

Thanks kalemann,
but in 1.0.4 not present "port to listen for input commands"

[eliafino]

please fix :-(

Yes the same thing is happening if you send a jpg image with send_document.

The recipient gets a thumbnail of the jpg, but when they try and open it, it shows "file" with no file extension and you can't see the image.

Sending the same image via send_photo works fine.

Also, a gif file appears to work, but not a jpg. What a shame.

One more vote for the fix

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

And this commit in the tgl repository:
vysheng/tgl@0205b66

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