GeiserX/Telegram-Archive v5.3.1

on GitHub

Fixed

• Album duplicates showing - Fixed grouped_id comparison (string vs integer) causing albums to show duplicate placeholder messages. Added getGroupedId() helper that converts to string for consistent comparison.

Added

• Service messages - Chat actions (photo changed, title changed, user joined/left) now display as centered service messages in the viewer, like the real Telegram client
• scripts/normalize_grouped_ids.py - Migration script to normalize old grouped_id values to strings. Run with --dry-run to preview changes.

Upgrade Notes

If you have existing albums showing as duplicates, run the migration script:

docker exec telegram-backup python scripts/normalize_grouped_ids.py --dry-run  # Preview
docker exec telegram-backup python scripts/normalize_grouped_ids.py            # Apply
