Telegram protocol

[dartraiden]

Telegram protocol just landed in nightly builds. Currently it can't do anything.

[dartraiden]

Implemented text messages sending/receiving.
Implemented status support.

[Vulpix]

This is great news.

I have considered Telegram and Signal as the only reasonable replacements for Tox+Discord. Tox being what it is due to the nature of the procol making it unfriendly towards mobile thus user adoption never took off.
Discord being what it is and banning 3rd party clients.

I got Telegram set up but seems after a friend added me, I wasn't able to see his messages in Miranda. I could send messages and they were sent correctly. I could see incoming messages in the netlog but they simply weren't being stored in Miranda db itself.

I don't mind sharing various logs etc to help out with Telegram proto development, because I fear Discord might just decide to randomly banhammer me one day (although it has not yet happened).

Hello

This is my first post on the forum so hello all.

I installed the telegram plugin, it works however I have strange behaviour. Whenever I send the message to someone the messages are displayed as being send by my participant not as mine, like this. Let's say I am Marek and the other person I am talking with is called John so the conversatopm should look like:

Marek: hi John
John: hi Marek
Marek: How are you
John: fine how about you?
Marek: I'm fine too - thanks

however it looks like this

John: hi John
John: hi Marek
John: How are you
John: fine how about you?
John: I'm fine too - thanks

it is especially hard because I am using winterspeak plugin to read the incoming messages via TTS and in this case everything is read both incoming and outgoing messages since all of them ale treat as incoming one. It works that way onlu when using telegram, I am using other accounts too and everyyhing is displayed correctly on other protocols. below is my versionInfo:

Whenever I send the message to someone the messages are displayed as being send by my participant not as mine, like this.

do you send messages from Miranda or from another device/client?

another question: do you use IEView as a message log viewer? or the built-in one?

[marson]

do you send messages from Miranda or from another device/client?
It doesn't matter if I send the miiranda message from miranda or natice telegram itself, the messages always appear as being send by my participant not mine.

Yes - I use IEView as message log

[ghazan]

marson,

Yes - I use IEView as message log

As for me, IEView without skin works ok. Which skin do you use? Could you attach it here?

[Vulpix]

I use ieview and I had this exact issue (all chat showing as if I had sent it) some time ago when Telegram became supported for the first time. But it doesn't happen on the version you're using anymore (I am on the same version as you right now).

[dartraiden]

Cannot reproduce with current dev version + IEView + Facebook IEView template.
History++ and tabSRMM internal log also fine.

[marson]

As for me, IEView without skin works ok. Which skin do you use? Could you attach it here?
Yes - sure - my IeView skin is called GoneDark, here is the link to it: https://xxh.pl/GoneDark.zip

Can you post the link to the Ieview template you use, I will try it and see if this is related to template I use.

[dartraiden]

[dartraiden]

GoneDark, here is the link to it: https://xxh.pl/GoneDark.zip

All OK.

[marson]

Strange so I have no idea what could be the problem.

I checked History++ plugin and it also have all messages written as my participant, I have no idea what can I do, it is strange that problem occurs only on telegram, other protocols works OK.

[dartraiden]

marson, try to add phone number without "+"

Technically, inside the protocol, messages are sent from a "number without a plus sign". Example:

- Miranda sees the phone number +79056051234 in the settings
- in reality, inside the protocol, the plus sign is discarded and the message is sent from 79056051234
- Miranda thinks "hmm, +79056051234 and 79056051234  are different numbers => this is not user phone number, so I will show this message as a message from contact"

[marson]

@dartraiden

I didn't see your last post so I dont change anything but after last miranda and plugin update all works fine so just for curiosity, do you change someting to fix (overcome) the problem?

I have additional question, / suggestion are you planning to add support for adding telegram bots to contact list in miranda so it could be read from them, or maybe there is an possibility yo add it but I don't know how?

also it would be nice to support voice message, I assume that this can be hard to implement so maybe for now at least showing text in chat window like - user xxxx recorded the message, because for now there is no indication about this and if I don't have phone near me I have no idea about new voice message.
