private chat link has changed format, how to make it work when uploading to private upload?

• telegram-upload version: 0.4
• Python version:3.8
• Operating System:windows 10
• Dependencies list (run pip freeze):

Description

private chat link used to be: https://telegram.me/joinchat/B-UUVD8-WVj8KtZysJzIiw but now it changed like: https://t.me/+w2q1rEjpyoCmOWM8

thus when I use the newer link as argument for --to to uploading to a private chat, telegram-upload returns:

Cannot find any entity

What I Did

I’ve tried:

https://t.me/+w2q1rEjpyoCmOWM8 w2q1rEjpyoCmOWM8

also tried make up telegram id like:

1650026146 10 digitals [phone] plus +1000

they all came back same error: Cannot find any entity

and I found out https://github.com/Nekmo/telegram-upload/issues/144#issuecomment-1008005654 in this forum, but I am not quite understand where should the fix code goes to

ask for solution

any workaround that I can upload to a private chat without change it to public?

I know this seems closed but I have all the python packages updated and using the latest version and the problem persists for me.
