TelegramMediaRelayBot

Install .NET 8.0+, MySQL 8.0+ and yt-dlp. Download the bot from GitHub, create appsettings.json with your Bot Token from BotFather and database settings. After startup, use /start and exchange unique links with contacts to create your media network.

The bot supports 1000+ sites through yt-dlp and gallery-dl: YouTube, Reddit, TikTok, Pinterest, VK, Telegram, Twitch and many others. This solves the problem when your friends aren't registered on certain platforms or don't want to click links.

Use the /start command and add contacts through "Add Contact". Exchange unique links with friends. After confirmation, simply send a link + description (on a new line), and the bot will automatically download and forward content to all specified recipients.

Yes, the bot is completely safe. All code is open and available on GitHub under the AGPL 3.0 license. The bot runs locally on your server, doesn't send data to third parties, and supports working through Tor for additional anonymity.

Add hashtags to the description after the link: #family, #work, #memes. This helps sort content and easily find it in chat history. You can use both built-in and custom hashtags for better organization.

The problem is that friends are often not registered on platforms (TikTok, Reddit), too lazy to click links, or don't want to register. You have to manually download, forward, and clean up device memory. The bot automates this entire process.

Check that you have the latest version of yt-dlp installed. If the problem persists, create an issue on GitHub with a description of the problem and link to the problematic content. We will try to solve the problem in the next update.

Yes! The bot supports working in Telegram group chats. Just send a link to the group, and the bot will download content and send it directly to the group chat, plus it can forward to other configured contacts according to your rules.
