Fixed

  • Jumping to a message from the media gallery no longer snaps back to the latest messages — clicking a media item loaded the correct history window and then the 3-second refresh immediately reset the view to the newest messages, so the target was never shown. The realtime refresh is now paused while you're viewing a jumped-to history window, and the "scroll to latest" button reliably returns you to live. (#213, #214)
  • Media is no longer silently lost on Synology encrypted (eCryptfs) shares — such shares cap a filename at ~143 bytes (not the usual 255), so media with long original names — especially non-Latin (Cyrillic/CJK) — failed to write and was re-fetched from Telegram on every run forever. Filenames are now length-budgeted (byte-aware, extension preserved, non-Latin safe) to fit; the unique file-id prefix and extension are always kept, only the decorative part is shortened. (#212, #215)
  • A permanently-unwritable media file no longer taxes every backup run forever — failed downloads are now retried a bounded number of times and then skipped with a logged count, instead of being re-fetched indefinitely.

Added

  • MEDIA_MAX_FILENAME_BYTES (default 143) — usable filename-component byte budget for the media store. Raise to 255 on plain ext4/xfs/btrfs for longer decorative names; keep at 143 for Synology/eCryptfs encrypted shares.
  • MEDIA_MAX_DOWNLOAD_ATTEMPTS (default 5) — how many times a failing media download is retried before it is skipped (and surfaced as an aggregate count). Requesting a re-download resets the counter.

Upgrade note

  • Migration 016 (adds media.download_attempts) runs automatically on first start; it is idempotent and requires no action.

Credits

  • Thanks to @625801 for the detailed reports and reproductions behind #212 and #213.
