Sending a file about hassio-addons

[14roiron]

Perfect it s working for both photo and videos
thank you very much 👍

[MichaelBitard]

Hello,

You're welcome!

Well spotted for the documentation, I'll add that to the README.

For your issue, that's strange, it works on my machine ™️

I receive some svg and png daily, without issue. I just tried with a jpg too and it works.

I'll need more information to investigate, are you using the last version of the addon? what signal app are you using to receive the messages ? I tested and it works on android and with the signal app on linux

[14roiron]

Thanks for your quick answer,

This is the start up screen.

I have the latest version on android and mac.
version 10.11.2 for Hassio Addon

And I downloaded your component few days ago, so it should be the last version.

I thought it was due to

            if data is not None and ATTR_FILE in data:
                files['file'] = (data.get(ATTR_FILE), open(data.get(ATTR_FILE), 'rb'), 'application/octet-stream')

in notify.py of the component, as the file is detected as an octet stream
I will try to run some tests

[MichaelBitard]

The octet-stream is the way to send the data to the http server, but maybe you could try and tweak it.
Is your number trusted? Maybe it's some "security" from signal.

If you want, you can DM (via twitter?) me your phone number and I'll send you a message from my hassio addon with a picture to see if it works?

[14roiron]

If I use an image from the Web, it seems to be working fine
I am trying to investigate why my pictures are causing issues

[MichaelBitard]

that's interesting, is your image generated from a camera stream? maybe you are missing some headers

[14roiron]

That's coming from the hassio automation and one of my camera:

alias: Take ScreenShot
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.0x00158d0000000000_contact
    attribute: friendly_name
    from: Closed
    to: Open
condition: []
action:
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 3
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      filename: >-
        /config/www/doors/cam_{{ now ().year }}_{{ now ().month }}_{{ now ().day
        }}_{{ now ().hour }}.jpg
    entity_id: camera.reolink_profile000_mainstream
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 3
      milliseconds: 0
  - service: notify.signal
    data:
      message: Door Open
      data:
        file: >-
          /config/www/doors/cam_{{ now ().year }}_{{ now ().month }}_{{ now
          ().day }}_{{now ().hour }}.jpg
mode: single

and this is the ouput of a file command:

tmpyelfu0fz: JPEG image data, baseline, precision 8, 2560x1920, components 3

The hashes are the same before sending to signal and after.

Let me try another camera. I don't know if the snapshot function is manager by HA or the camera itself, but it's not a bug on signal integration
Thanks

All my camera give me the same file format, even though one use Onvif and the other one, the mjpeg driver, here is a file if you want to try

[kevdliu]

I ran into this issue with images generated by my IP cameras as well. It seems like signal detects the format of the file via some sort of metadata instead of the file extension. The images generated by the IP cams do not contain that metadata and therefore signal does not show them as images. I ended up writing a simple custom component which basically uses PIL to convert the images into jpgs, which adds the required metadata and fixes the issue.

[14roiron]

that's why the telegram integration require an additionnal tag as described here:
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/ip-camera-snapshot-automation/41319/3

[MichaelBitard]

I can reproduce you problem with your file indeed. I think we should open an issue to signal to see if there is something that could be done on their side, or something we should ensure before sending the image.

The bug appears on android and linux desktop. Can I use your image for the signal issue @14roiron?

[MichaelBitard]

I think I could also try to fix it by not sending a random file name but rather using the filename given as parameter

[14roiron]

Yes of course you can use this inage
I was trying to add a specific tag in the data to force the file as a picture, by replacing the octet-stream header
I have the same issue if I try to record a short 5s video and send it to signal

[MichaelBitard]

The octet-stream is not the issue IMHO, because it's the communication side between the home assistant integration and the hassio docker addon, not between the hassio docker addon and the signal server.

[MichaelBitard]

It works \o/ (you have to update to 10.13.1)

@14roiron can you test it too? and close the issue if that's ok
