Matrix failed media with MSC3916 "Authentication for media"

[mahdi1234]

With recent switch on many matrix servers to authenticated media, matterbridge doesn't handle it correctly anymore even when Media server set. With v1.26.0

In the snippet above, there was image called barcode.gif with size of 1676 bytes posted, but in reality only 45 bytes downloaded.

Content of that file shows it wasn't properly authenticated.

cat ./barcode.gif 
{"errcode":"M_NOT_FOUND","error":"Not found"}

Here's some context:

Can confirm.

I can still receive images, but not send them anymore.

It seem related to #2205

Content of that file shows it wasn't properly authenticated.

Do you mean it wasn't authenticated at all? or just that the authentication was done improperly?

[MoralCode]

I wonder if this has to do with the underlying matrix client library not being updated to a version that supports this authentication

Edit: yep it looks like the underlying library behind matterbridge/gomatrix is archived:

this seems to be a more maintained golang library: https://github.com/mautrix/go
