Obtainium can't work with git tags. about obtainium

Yes, you need to have an actual release with APKs attached. If you want to use tags, you'll have to enable track only mode and that would allow you to get update notifications without actually being able to download or install anything.

This actually is an issue with GitHub as pointed out in the linked issue.

The releases URL doesn't show the latest release
https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/releases

But this URL does
https://github.com/libre-tube/LibreTube/releases/latest

Maybe best to use the latter for checking for updates in obtanium?

[shellheim]

Yeah I did see that. Unfortunately using that url doesn't work either as it seems that obtainium defaults to https://github.com/user/project if that's present in the url. Also according to Imran obtainum only works when it's a proper release.

A temporary fix would be to switch to the f-droid repo for the app, but the main reason I switched to obtainium was because of f-droid's slow update cycle.

You could try the 'verify latest tag' option to see if that helps.

[shellheim]

Yeah that was on but it still doesn't seem to work.

I had this same issue with LibreTube v0.20.0. Updating to v0.20.1 went flawless.

If you go and look, v0.20.0 never hit the releases page but was in the tags. V0.20.1 is on the releases page. Definitely a GitHub issue.

Same issue going on with URL-Radio releases. V12.8 is in the tags but not on the releases page. Now I assume when v12.9 is released, this will straighten out this issue too... ? Guess we'll see.
