Email app sends bin files instead of pictures

[B3rt]

I recently upgrade grom HP19 to HP23 and it seemds when i use the email app and send a snapshot then the file which i receive is a .bin file, not an picture.

Sending the same snapshot via a push message then it works fine, only via the email app it sends a .bin file.

Running the last update available update for HP23

any idea’s?

I have the same problem, anyone found a solution for this?

It’s a Pro 2023 Athom firmware issue. When you change the file extension from .bin to .jpg it should show as the actual picture.

A ‘.bin’ - like issue is also present on the callmebot clients:

[APP][Pro] WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, Facebook messenger

Hello I already reported the problem with the images and error 403 to Athom about cca. 6 weeks, unfortunately still no solution homey23 send the images as xxx.bin file so this error message occurs, if you send the image by e-mail sender it is also an xyz.bin but if you rename it it is the image. So the only problem is the incorrect file extension. it works for push messages Let’s hope Athom solves this problem

That is strange because when you snd same snapshot by push message or show it on a TV via pipup then it works, only when sending an email it turns into a .bin file

[Peter_Kawa]

Yup, but not only with email;
like I qouted alr, CallMeBot also has issues with images on Pro 2023

@Jaomrodri

Sending snapshots to FB is not working in HP 2023. native Homey notifications sends the snaphot correctly.
