Update of plugin not triggered

Developers

Hi all,

I forked fmaida/mbplugin-youtube to be more privacy-friendly. It uses the youtube-nocookie.com domain and includes a GDPR-compliant click-to-play overlay instead of loading the YouTube iframe automatically. It also includes options to add an additional message in the overlay to inform users that their data is send to Google when they click on the overlay. The plugin also helps to reduce connections to other servers and therefore is helping to speed up Micro.blog websites even more.This is the Github page of the plugin: GitHub - flschr/mbplugin-youtube-nocookie: Micro.blog plugin for embedding YouTube videos while respecting data privacy.

I’m running into an issue with my plugin listed in the Micro.blog directory. The version in the directory still shows as 1.1.1, but the GitHub repo has already been updated to 1.1.6. I’ve updated plugin.json, pushed all changes, and even deleted and reinstalled the plugin on my site, but the newer version doesn’t seem to be pulled in.

You can see the plugin in action on this blog post: Gardasee again | René Fischer

Is there anything I need to do to trigger a refresh or review on the Micro.blog side? Any help appreciated!

Thanks
René

Hi René,

Depending on the timing, it can take up to two hours for the change to appear in the directory.

Thanks! I was ware of the 2h window. Nevertheless, I’m already waiting since more than 12 hours for the latest update to show up.

Additional information: I messed up the version numbers in the beginning, went up and than down again. This might have caused some internal errors?

I took a closer look at the JSON file. There’s a missing comma on line 14, so the script that’s fetching the update is probably failing to parse it.

You are my hero. Now it works. Thanks a lot. Do you, by any chance, have a idea how I can get the logo for the plugin in the MB plugin directory?

I think you’ve figured it out already? :blush: (Put the logo in the project’s README file.)

Probably after fixing the plugin.json it now also is catching the logo :slight_smile:
