Python TeleBot media editing

people!

So, i'm using PyTelegramBotAPI and i need to edit media (photo in my case) in my bot's message, so i tried this thing:

bot.edit_message_media(message_id=M_ID, chat_id=C_ID, media=MY_MEDIA)

If i try to pass message.photo[0].file_id from another message (i mean, photo is already on the telegram server), or if i even try to create InputMedia object from scratch like that:

new = types.InputMedia
new.media = message.photo[0].file_id

In both scenarios, if i print file_id, it will show this long id string, so it's not missing. But i still get this error:

2020-12-23 08:22:16,889 (__init__.py:489 MainThread) ERROR - TeleBot: "A request to the Telegram API was unsuccessful. Error code: 400. Description: Bad Request: parameter "media" is required"

But i did set the media parametr.... what's the problem?

Alright, i've found the solution. When you are passing new media, do it like that:

from telebot import types

bot.edit_message_media(message_id=M_ID, chat_id=C_ID, media=types.InputMediaPhoto(file_id))

This works... wow!
