Using Backends in TStickers

TStickers supports multiple backends for converting sticker formats. You can choose between rlottie-python and pyrlottie depending on your needs and system compatibility. Here’s a brief guide on how to use and select these backends.

Available Backends

  • pyrlottie: in my testing this seems to be a little faster at converting telegram stickers
  • rlottie-python: this backend has broader system compatibility, though seems to be a little slower on my machine™

How to Specify a Backend

You can specify the backend you want to use by using the -b or --backend option in your TStickers command.

Command Syntax

tstickers -b BACKEND [other options]

Examples

  1. Using rlottie-python Backend:

    If you want to use the rlottie-python backend, run:

    tstickers -b rlottie-python -t YOUR_BOT_TOKEN -p https://t.me/addstickers/YourStickerPack

    This command uses the rlottie-python backend to process the sticker pack specified by the URL.

  2. Using pyrlottie Backend:

    To use the pyrlottie backend, execute:

    tstickers -b pyrlottie -t YOUR_BOT_TOKEN -p https://t.me/addstickers/YourStickerPack

    This command processes the sticker pack using the pyrlottie backend.

Choosing the Right Backend

  • Performance: Test both backends to see which one performs better for your specific needs.
  • Compatibility: If you are having trouble with the default then try rlottie-python.

Note if performance is important then you may want to explore the other options --frameskip and --scale. These will change the quality of the output image though!
