Small update bringing all the features from Telegram's new Bot API 7.11

✍️ The Photo as Media and Trailer Video as Media /settings have been updated. Telegram X users can now use the bot without the annoying unfixed bug 🐛 or workaround that we had to use for this feature.

a bit of rant on the current state of the bot

🤖 five years ago 😲 @imdbot was introduced with very basic features.

⚡ we introduced both /settings and ⭐ Custom Template v1 features which was not available in any other Telegram Bot at that time, and 🤯 still is not available in any other Telegram Bot, even after this five years.

Fast Forward to four years later, 👉 this 😬 person 👈 introduced an open source bot to search in IMDb, OMDbAPI, and JustWatch but without the settings or Custom Template options.

Recently, in our @IMDbOT the following options does not seem to work correctly!

Horizontal Photo as Media, Awards, Check on OTT, Letterboxd Rating

#AKA, #STORY_LINE, #AWARDS, #OTT_UPDATES, #HIGH_RES_MEDIA_VIEWER, #LETTERBOX_RATING, #LETTERBOX_USERRATINGS

🤒 At the same time, the bot was growing old with many legacy code and various backward compatibility codes to preserve older non functional pieces of SHiT code that was written five years ago.

Custom Template v1 was a frankestein monster, with a lot of bloated code, written in an unmaintainable manner. Hence, it was decided that Custom Templates v1 would be shutdown on December 4, 2024 (an arbitrary date to postpone release of new features 😎😜), and Custom Template v2 would be introduced without any guarantees of backward compatibility.
