error when tring to use client.send_file for multiple photos

[ram-sh]

Hello,

Using Python 3.7.5 and Telethon 1.11.3.

following the example from Telethon documentation

# Albums
await client.send_file(chat, [
    '/my/photos/holiday1.jpg',
    '/my/photos/holiday2.jpg',
    '/my/drawings/portrait.png'
])

when trying to send more than one photo using client.send_file i get "Media invalid (caused by SendMultiMediaRequest)" error.

when sending a single photo there is no error: await client.send_file(contact, 'http://s3.amazonaws.com/tn1.app/0.png')

the error occurs when trying to send more than one photo: await client.send_file(contact, ['http://s3.amazonaws.com/tn1.app/0.png', 'http://s3.amazonaws.com/tn1.app/2.png'])

thanks much in advance! RS

Telegram doesn't support sending albums from URLs.

[ram-sh]

thank you.

Telegram doesn't support sending albums from URLs.

@Lonami I know that Bot API supports it, are you sure that MTProto doesn't support it?

I have tried it and it did not work back when I tried. Bot API may be downloading and re-uploading behind the scenes which Telethon won't do.

Seems that this problem occur again:

when sending a single photo there is no error: await client.send_file(contact, 'http://s3.amazonaws.com/tn1.app/0.png')

the error occurs when trying to send more than one photo: await client.send_file(contact, ['http://s3.amazonaws.com/tn1.app/0.png', 'http://s3.amazonaws.com/tn1.app/2.png'])

But the error message sent to me is "Media invalid (caused by UploadMediaRequest)" instead of "Media invalid (caused by SendMultiMediaRequest)".

Could anyone please check what's goion wrong? Thanks so much.

I queried history, bugs may be here, I am not familiar with Python, can I fix this function as soon as possible?
