Automatically keep mcxboxbroadcast up to date

[kuma757]

Hello.
I always rely on this mcxboxbroadcast, but I have one concern.
This might just be me, but every time I update the build, I currently have to go to the GitHub page and download the latest files. Honestly, this is quite a hassle, so I was hoping you could add an automatic update feature on the mcxboxbroadcast side.

Proposed Features
・Periodically check for updates
・Automatically download updates if available
・Automatically restart after download completes

Apologies if this is an unnecessary suggestion.

(I use a translation machine. I apologize if the English sentence is inappropriate.)

I would suggest using a plugins like AUP (https://modrinth.com/plugin/autoupdateplugins)

I have this in my config to auto update mcxboxbroadcast:

list:
  - file: 'MCXboxBroadcastExtension.jar'
    url: https://github.com/MCXboxBroadcast/Broadcaster
    get: 'MCXboxBroadcastExtension\.jar'
    filePath: './plugins/Geyser-Spigot/extensions/'

It's an extension for GeyserStandalone... but can I still use it?

Doesn't seem like it's working, does it?

Are you talking about the MCXboxBroadcast Extension with the Geyser? Because yes, that is what I mean :) But if you are talking about the standalone, I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make a script with Python or something to check for updates?

Not sure what you mean, I'm sorry. Could you explain more?

in the config FilePath: should be path:

so:

list:
  - file: 'MCXboxBroadcastExtension.jar'
    url: https://github.com/MCXboxBroadcast/Broadcaster
    get: 'MCXboxBroadcastExtension\.jar'
    path: './plugins/Geyser-Spigot/extensions/'

I run MCXboxBroadcast on my proxy server, so it would be weird to use my actual Minecraft server to update my proxy. Also, I'm not fond of the idea of relying on a year-old updater anyway. Being able to update itself would be a great feature for this plugin, especially because it's for Bedrock, where everything must be up to date, or things break.

I'm sorry. This is the response I got when I tried installing that plugin to see if it would work.

Since I'm using GeyserStandAlone, I don't think that plugin will work.

Well, I suppose you could write something in Python. But I realize some people might not be able to use Python. I might try to write an update program in Python if I put in the effort, but I posted this as one opinion because I think having an update feature would be beneficial.

(Sorry for the delayed reply.)

I wrote a shell script a while back that updates the broadcaster. It only works on Linux though. It is basically a script that checks for updates before starting it. I can share it on here if you want.

Using any 3rd party program or script to keep MCXboxBroadcast up to date would be total overkill to fix it. I already have a way to automatically update everything on my proxy, but this program is missing the broadcasters because it's an extension inside of Geyser. I have found workarounds, but they're a pain, and I don't expect people to have to deal with it. Keeping a server up to date is essential for Bedrock players to connect, or else it'll tell them they're joining the wrong version, so making it easy for people to keep this extension up to date with an automatic updater would be very useful.
