nctelegram crashing with TypeError...

[ninjaaron]

There's a certain buffer that, whenever I try to open it, it crashes out with this error message:

Not sure if this is a bug in nctelegram or one of the other libraries... Luckily, this buffer is the one where I can send messages to myself, so I guess it's not real crucial. I'm using the nctelegram-git package in Arch

Hi,
Thanks for reporting this issue. This error seems to come from a the library pytg (or more likely directly from telegram-cli). I can probably 'fix' it by handling this error. I don't have much time right now to do that, but I'll try.
To circumvent that error you can set inline_image = False in the configuration file since this appends when a file is being downloaded.
