Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Closes after a period of inactivity, or when you send !close.

i started on my own and set the bot up already

i didn't really find any streamlined guides on how to do what i wanted to do so i just kinda did it randomly

import os

import telebot

bot = telebot.TeleBot(token)

yt = "C:/Users/39348/Desktop/rip/yt-dlp -o video.mp4"

video = 'video.mp4'


@bot.message_handler(func=lambda msg: True)
def check(message):
    os.system(yt + " " + message.text)


bot.infinity_polling()

the token is censored for obv reasons

the download part works when i send it a link

what i don't know how to do is send the video back

i tried bot.send_video but it gives me errors

bot.send_video(chat_id=message.chat.id, video=video)

the idea is that since it's a one time use bot it will always overwrite the last video and send the new one

(disclaimer idk how to use python but i do know js)

everything here was taken from random articles
