On Discord, this only works if WebhookURL is set (AND the message has no avatar).

At the moment, this setting is only available for Discord.

MediaConvertTgs

Convert Tgs (Telegram animated sticker) images to some other file format before upload. This requires the external dependency lottie, which can be installed like this: pip install lottie cairosvg https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/issues/874

Note that if you insist on using an ancient Python version like 3.5, the pip installation is slightly more complicated. Matterbridge expects lottie_convert.py to be in your $PATH; if that's not already the case, try putting this into your ~/.profile:

PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
export PATH

If you encounter bugs with this, try to extract the Telegram sticker file and run lottie on it like this: lottie_convert.py --input-format lottie file_1234_tgs.webp myoutput.webp This might give you additional information about what's going on.

Setting: OPTIONAL, RELOADABLE

Tengo

More information about tengo on: https://github.com/d5/tengo/blob/master/docs/tutorial.md and https://github.com/d5/tengo/blob/master/docs/stdlib.md

FIXME: Document support for dropping messages.

InMessage

InMessage allows you to specify the location of a tengo (https://github.com/d5/tengo/) script. This script will receive every incoming message and can be used to modify the Username and the Text of that message. The script will have the following global variables:
to modify: msgUsername and msgText
to read: msgChannel and msgAccount

The script is reloaded on every message, so you can modify the script on the fly.

Example script can be found in https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/tree/master/gateway/bench.tengo and https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/tree/master/contrib/example.tengo

The example below will check if the text contains blah and if so, it'll replace the text and the username of that message.

text := import("text")
if text.re_match("blah",msgText) {
    msgText="replaced by this"
    msgUsername="fakeuser"
}

Setting: OPTIONAL, RELOADABLE
Format: string Example:

InMessage="example.tengo"

OutMessage

OutMessage allows you to specify the location of the script that will be invoked on each message being sent to a bridge and can be used to modify the Username and the Text of that message.

The script will have the following global variables: read-only: inAccount, inProtocol, inChannel, inGateway, inEvent outAccount, outProtocol, outChannel, outGateway, outEvent

read-write: msgText, msgUsername

Notice: msgUsername is already formatted by RemoteNickFormat at this point.

The script is reloaded on every message, so you can modify the script on the fly.

The default script in https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/tree/master/internal/tengo/outmessage.tengo is compiled in and will be executed if no script is specified.

RemoteNickFormat

RemoteNickFormat allows you to specify the location of a tengo (https://github.com/d5/tengo/) script. The script will have the following global variables:
to modify: result
to read: channel, bridge, gateway, protocol, nick

The result will be set in {TENGO} in the RemoteNickFormat key of every bridge where {TENGO} is specified

The script is reloaded on every message, so you can modify the script on the fly.

Example script can be found in https://github.com/42wim/matterbridge/tree/master/contrib/remotenickformat.tengo
