Downloader not saving full image before returning control to event loop

The problem

When using the local file upload of an image, the image sometimes only partially uploads despite it being correct and fully formed locally.

Image appears on slack like this:

However the exact same file (same timestamp) is fully formed and captured properly in the Local Media folder:

My automation basically downloads a bunch of snapshots from various cameras, then sends them via the Slack notification before finally streaming video from one of them to the chromecast TV.

At first, I thought there needed to be a delay between the download and notification in case it started to send the slack notification file before it completed downloading the file in ‘Downloader’ so I added 2 seconds between each Slack Notify but that didn’t make a difference. I also don’t want to delay the streaming at the end by too much .

You will need to add those urls to allowlist_external_urls under homeassistant: in configuration.yaml,

Something else just came to mind. Use url: instead of path: for the Slack service call. That way you can skip downloading it locally.
