Unable to send last video to Telegram BOT

[JeepHu]

Hi.
First of all I would like to really thank you for this software, which works great and it seems not real it can do what id does.

I'm running motionEye as an add on on Raspberry OS 64bit lite, trixie. Everything works and I setup the provided option to send me a certain number of pictures to my Telegram bot. Though I don't know and I can't find a way to send myself the last video.
I looked on the net and found a project that was abandoned but that doesn't use the internal python scripts and, moreover, fails sending the video. I looked for more alternatives too but to no avail.
I was wondering motionEye might already have a function to do what I'm looking for? If yes, could you give me some directions?

Thank you again!

That feature does not exist. Also a video can have a large file size, so it is probably not a good idea without at least proper limits. And in messangers, videos are often converted and compressed. I don't know Telegram well, but we would need to check the API whether a direct video upload is even possible.

Thank you Michalng.
I understand. Though I tested this abandoned project and it works: https://github.com/DaniW42/motioneye-telegram

Thanks for sharing, so if someone is up to implement this feature into motionEye, this is a possible starting point 🙂.

You're welcome. If I was able, I'd do it myself. But I'm not. Anyway, available for explaining the creation of telegram bot etc to set it up 🙂
