Unable to Send Photo via Telegram Bot

Configuration
1

I have successfully setup the Telegram integration and created a bot that sends a picture from my doorbell camera (I am using the Amcrest integration for my AD410 doorbell) when motion is detected. I have found a issue/bug when using different camera sources:

When the snapshot is taken with the main camera, I get an error (see below).
When I setup a camera proxy and use it, the picture is sent successfully.

* Error sending photo: Image_process_failed. Args: (), kwargs: {'chat_id': 441726636, 'photo': <_io.BufferedReader name='/config/www/tmp/doorbell.jpg'>, 'caption': None, 'disable_notification': False, 'reply_markup': None, 'timeout': None, 'parse_mode': 'Markdown'}

Any idea what is going wrong here? The log is not very helpful.

My automation (this camera entity results in the error above):

You may need to allow some time for the file to be created. Try:

action:
  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      filename: /config/www/tmp/doorbell.jpg
    target:
      entity_id:
        - camera.doorbell
  - delay: 2
  - service: notify.telegramgroup
    data:
      message: Motion Detected
      data:
        photo:
          - file: /config/www/tmp/doorbell.jpg

Also does camera.doorbell have a still image URL defined in its config?

Thanks, I will try it. No URL is defined.
