What am I doing wrong? If I upload from my client itself I see an attachment object that looks like this

    {
        "contentType": "video/mp4",
        "description": null,
        "ephemeral": false,

Wheres your actual code? How exactly are you attempting to do this?

jr•7mo ago

The actual code is complex but it should reproduce with

channel.send({
    files: [
  {
    url: 'https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1070007323961085973/1170777477723979988/395548916_313950368025649_163387286946890286_n.mp4?ex=655a467e&is=6547d17e&hm=c2646af1ffc78e9d4e880e179582d5f2b9f0b8138bd5ed723cef8027789f98a2&',
    proxyURL: 'https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1070007323961085973/1170777477723979988/395548916_313950368025649_163387286946890286_n.mp4',
    width: 480,
    height: 854
  }
    ]
});

channel.send({

Well that isnt correct, you dont pass an object like that to files It can be an AttachmentBuilder, Attachment object you received, or { name: string, attachment: "the url would go here" } Or you could just pass the URL directly, but not that object proxyURL, width and height are just parameters discord sends you
