Obtainium. Such an awesome peace of software for tracking app updates. Many sources available. Search through them. Notifications about updates. Just. Too. Good. ❤️

Can you get Obtainium to scan a simple HTML page full of links to APKs and extract the latest versions of each APK in the page? It seems to work fine on Git repos, but I can't get it to watch simple pages listing APKs.

From GitHub description. "Any other URL that returns an HTML page with links to APK files (if multiple, the last file alphabetically is picked)". I assume yes.

Yeah but my issue is that it doesn't work :) I point it to a simple HTML page listing only links to APK files in it (namely, the Aurora Store nightlies) and the only thing is does is show a black bar for a couple of seconds and nothing happens.

Flaw. I think you should create a bug on GitHub.

I probably should, but the truth is, the app doesn't interest me enough to bother. I wanted to use it to automatically track Aurora Store nightly builds for when the stable version gets broken by Google, as Google regularly does. But when it happens, all I have to do is open a link bookmarked in my browser.

I figured I'd ask here to figure out if I missed some configuration or something. If it's a bug, I'll just uninstall the thing and forget about it.
