I'm working on PEM (Piwigo Extension Manager, ie piwigo.org/ext) to make it more compatible with Git URLs not on Github. @gregbosen, I'm thinking about you ;-)

Do not forget to set the "Plugin URI" value in main.inc.php, for example for [extension by gregbosen] Meta Photo Nav it should be:

Plugin URI: https://piwigo.org/ext/extension_view.php?eid=1094

or just:

Plugin URI: https://piwigo.org/ext/extension_view.php?eid=

... if you generate the revision with Git (and not with a zip upload). PEM will automatically set the "1094".

I've forgotten to tell why it's important to have this id 1094 in the "plugin headers". It is used by Piwigo to search for updates.

Done on Meta Photo Nav. Try this out.

I'll bump the others when I get more changes.

and also, I recommend you use version "auto" in Git and let PEM replace the appropriate version during zip creation.

The "version:auto" has a special meaning in Piwigo core. It means you have a "developer version" and it will always run the "maintain->update" (no need of version change).

Even if you don't set the version to "auto", PEM will replace the version during zip creation.
