Inconsistent supported media types in `client.media.upload()`: `.wav` rejected, `.mpeg` accepted but not listed in error message

[VasylKolomiiets]

Description

When calling client.media.upload() in the Plivo Python SDK, I receive an error that only image files (JPG, JPEG, PNG and PDF) are allowed, despite documentation and SDK code indicating support for audio/video types.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install the Plivo Python SDK:

    pip install plivo

2. Attempt to upload a WAV file:

from plivo import RestClient

client = RestClient("YOUR_AUTH_ID", "YOUR_AUTH_TOKEN")
client.media.upload(["example.wav", ])

3. Observe the error:

{
  "error": "File format of the file to be uploaded should be one of JPG, JPEG, PNG or PDF"
}

4. Attempt to upload an MPEG file:

client.media.upload(["example.mpeg", ])

5. The upload succeeds and do not produce listed error message.

Expected Behavior

• WAV uploads are accepted per the documentation.
• MPEG uploads succeed in practice and should be recognized in the error message.
• The SDK error message and documentation should list all supported MIME types.

Actual Behavior

• WAV uploads are rejected while only listing image and PDF types.
• MPEG uploads succeed despite not being mentioned in the error output.

Environment

• plivo-python version: latest
• Python version: 3.12
• Operating System: Windows10

Plivo Media API documentation
SDK source with error logic

Suggested Fix

Update the SDK to include audio/video extensions (wav, mpeg, etc.) in the allowed list and error message.
Or clarify documentation if certain formats like wav are not intended to be accepted.

By the way, if upload .wav file manually in plivo console:

its media_id can be using in MMS sending by plivo SDK!!

So - it looks like wavs prohibited manually.... Why??

@VasylKolomiiets We will release a new version to support other media types. #296

works good in MMS creation request?
It confuse me a lot....

Can I use a link to a .wav file, recorded by Plivo, to send it in an MMS message?

Thanks for all your help and effort!
Good luck!
