Yes. That's what I'm using.

But my intention was to download only one specific format. Like only .pdf

Currently, if you use document in media_type, all formats will be downloaded

@fabianski7 hi did you try using only document as media_types.

api_hash: your_api_hash
api_id: your_api_id
chat_id: telegram_chat_id
last_read_message_id: 0
media_types:
- document

I hope this is what you are looking for.

@fabianski7 now you can download specific file formats. pull in the new changes from master branch and update the config as follows:

api_hash: your_api_hash
api_id: your_api_id
chat_id: telegram_chat_id
last_read_message_id: 0
media_types:
- document
file_formats:
  document:
  - pdf
  - epub

after several hours of capturing the messages (I think that's what was happening) I got this error

No files have been downloaded.

Well, it's a pretty big group with a lot of files, would that be any limitation?

[fabianski7]

my config file

api_hash: xxxx
api_id: xxxx
chat_id: xxxx
last_read_message_id: 0
media_types:
- document
file_formats:
  document:
  - mobi

[fabianski7]

this all generated a media_downloader.session file of about 3.2M

@fabianski7 can you create this as a new issue, we can look into it there.
