Pyrogram does not recognize message_entities

Question

I have a problem with forwarding messages with caption_entities. Attached below is the code that I use to make the transfer itself, as well as the result of its operation. The result shows that pyrogram lost the entity and sent it without them for a reason unknown to me.

from pyrogram import Client
from pyrogram.types import Message
from pyrogram.types import ChatPrivileges, InputMediaPhoto, InputMediaVideo

client = Client()
group_id = -1
@client.on_message()
async def handler(client: Client, message: Message):
  global group_id
  if group_id != -1:
    return
  group_id = message.media_group_id
  msg_group = []; media = []
  async for msg in client.get_chat_history(chat_id=message.chat.id, limit=10):
      if msg.media_group_id == group_id:
          msg_group.append(msg)
      else:
          break
  for m in msg_group:
      if m.photo:
          media.append(InputMediaPhoto(media=m.photo.file_id, caption=m.caption if m.caption else None, caption_entities=m.caption_entities if m.caption_entities else None))
      elif m.video:
        media.append(InputMediaVideo(media=m.video.file_id, caption=m.caption if m.caption else None, caption_entities=m.caption_entities if m.caption_entities else None))

  await client.send_media_group(chat_id=message.chat.id, media=media[::-1])
  group_id = -1

client.run()

I deleted the information from the client for security reasons. — user31645108

The issue is not with your logic — it is because Pyrogram does not automatically preserve caption entities when you manually rebuild a media group. When you extract messages from chat history using:

await client.get_chat_history(...)

Pyrogram gives you:

message.caption

message.caption_entities

BUT entities are NOT applied automatically when you create new InputMediaPhoto / InputMediaVideo. InputMediaPhoto and InputMediaVideo require you to explicitly pass the entities if you want them preserved. You are only sending:

caption=m.caption

So the entities are lost.
