the sticker looks like the example below:

any way to fix or avoid this weird effect?

my code:

const sticker = new Sticker(buffer, {
    pack: 'thierry', // The pack name
    author: 'bot thierry', // The author name
    type: StickerTypes.FULL, // The sticker type
    categories: ['🤩', '🎉'], // The sticker category
    id: '1234', // The sticker id
    quality: 50, // The quality of the output file
})
await sticker.toFile('./static/sticker.webp')

Here in this Function https://github.com/AlenSaito1/wa-sticker-formatter/blob/b4eb0685dd3548d08845197cb9e1c7118ed79c88/src/lib/convert.ts#L8

Following Code Uses Recursion. I don't exactly understand, what it's doing but this might be the source of infinite ffmpeg loop

const convert = async (data: Buffer, mime: string, type: 'crop' | 'full' | 'default' = 'default'): Promise<Buffer> => {
    const isVideo = mime.startsWith('video')
    const image = isVideo ? await videoToGif(data) : data
    if ((isVideo || mime.includes('gif')) && type === 'crop') {
        const filename = `${tmpdir()}/${Math.random().toString(36)}.webp`
        await writeFile(filename, image)
        return convert(await crop(filename), 'image/webp', 'default')
    }

When I'm going to make a sticker in mp4 format this error appears in the console

Error: Cannot find ffmpeg

Even though I already installed ffmpeg with

npm i fluent-ffmpeg

I checked cropping static Image with new WSF.Sticker(buffer,{crop: true}); the Image was stretched and same when used with animated:true for gifs sticker returned with perfectly centerCropped Image.

crop:true is stretching/squeezing static Images and centerCropping gifs I need to centerCrop static images too any workaround to achieve this ?

I'm running this piece of code in my script that creates a WebP to send to someone as a sticker.

const webpWithMetadata = await WSF.setMetadata('O melhor robo', 'Jarvis', ran) //returns the webp buffer with metadata

But when I run this code I get this error:

PS: I'm using termux on my android phone...

A simple problem has surfaced since last few days, as my xre...which is being hosted on cloud through free heroku Isn't being able to convert animated gif stickers properly, i mean it's creating a sticker but that's not the gif but a still image into sticker, also the processing is slow (taking around 50-60seconds). I know this might be because of Cloud platform being weak to handle all this nodes but...I wish it could be fixed. Thank you!

I'm using version 3.6 to just define the pack and author of the sticker. I have my own function that converts to webp with a nice performance. is there any way to only use this functionality in the most current version of the lib?

I need the most current function because it runs on ARM machines

i try to extractMetadata a sticker without packname and author , but it says error like this

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toString')
    at C:\Users\Administrator\nganu\node_modules\wa-sticker-formatter\dist\extractMetadata.js:22:27
    at Generator.next (<anonymous>)

    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

can we handle this with empty result, like

{
    'emojis': [],
    'sticker-pack-id': '',
    'sticker-pack-name': '',
    'sticker-pack-publisher': '',
}

sorry for my bad english 😄

If you use this with webp file to put metadata and send the animated sticker works great, but if you check the sticker message it is false to isAnimated.

animated: boolean

This PR fixes the issue with animated stickers with full type

Example

Code

const sticker = new Sticker(image, {
    type: StickerTypes.FULL, // 'full'
})

This is an example were it is not returning the object properly. With this error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token ☺ in JSON at position 1

and this result on "const exif": II☺AW{☺▬{"sticker-pack-id":"com.snowcorp.stickerly.android.stickercontentprovider f2c83f90-25c6-4b45-9866-1f6bd657616f","sticker-pack-name":"stickerman","sticker-pack-publisher":"Sticker.ly * dudaxd1212","android-app-store-link":"https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snowcorp.stickerly.android","ios-app-store-link":"https://itunes.apple.com/app/id1458740001?mt=8"}

So I made this correction that fixies this issue and gets the rigth start braces.
