Best approach for uploading videos?

Hi there,

I’m wondering the best way to upload an mp4 video using gramjs. Right now I can successfully upload a video via:

sendFile(client, entity, { file });

where the entity is a Channel instance and the file is a filepath to the video on my hard drive. However, when the video appears in the channel, it has no thumbnail, and it says the length of the video is 0:00:00.

If I drag and drop the same file through the telegram desktop app, the thumbnail appears and the video length is correct. Are there extra steps or a different approach I need to take when uploading a video using gramjs?

Thank you in advance, and thank you for the great module!

@painor That worked! Thank you so much. Is there a place in the docs where I can send a PR to add the solution to the recipe?

you can add an example to the doc string of sendFile (in this repo) and they will be updated here https://gram.js.org/beta/classes/client_telegramclient.telegramclient.html#sendfile

good luck. it will look something like this

    client.sendFile(entity,{
        file,
        thumb:"path to thumb",
        attributes:[new Api.DocumentAttributeVideo({
            duration:duration,
            h:height,
            w:width,
        })]
    })
