[tool] Receive Blue Iris Alert Images/Videos on Telegram

[zpn]

Hi!
Thanks for the job,i will test it, as i use a batch to send my alerts to telegram via BI since two years.
It is possible to make it as service, to be sure that it will launch at startup, and restart if it fail?
Same thing to move sended files to another directory?

and again, thanks for the job!

Is it just a typo or do you really have a forward slash in the path to the file, that might be why it can not upload a file with an invalid path name!

the app is putting that slash and I don't know how to remove it I thought that might be the issue

Has anyone found a solution?

I'm currently trying it and the slash is automatically inserted the "/" and it doesn't manage to send pictures or videos to Telegram.

Same issue here. I even swapped the file path to all forward slashes and get the same error (You can actually use forward slashes in the file path if you're consistent) so not sure why it's causing problems unless the Telegram API maybe changed?

same here, it just doesn't work anymore, and the logs tell me nothing, not any clue:
