I always use xmpp to send notifications via webhook. Now I would like to test matrix. I installed the integration and it works to send text messages. Unfortunately I can't send pictures (png). what am I doing wrong?
If you need to include a file from an external folder in your notifications, you will have to list the source folder as allowed.

This applies to you.
yes, I did that.
I can send a jpg in this folder. But no png.
I have solved the problem.
The png files had root as owner.
chown solved the problem.
This never bothered xmpp. matrix seems to be very sensitive...
@boebbele
Glad you solved it.
I learned there was a homeassistant matrix integration by reading your post and tried it bit could not make it work, I always have an authentication error.
Did you use the core integration or did you use one from hacs?
Also do you use matrix.org or a custom matrix server?
I use the core Integration (yaml). I'm on tchncs.de
If you're having issues with the core matrix integration, please file a bug! You never know who else might be having the same issue.
