The companion cask was pointing to the deprecated music-assistant/companion repo at v0.0.74, which no longer exists (HTTP 404). The app has since moved to music-assistant/desktop-app with renamed release assets.

Changes

  • Repository: music-assistant/companionmusic-assistant/desktop-app
  • Version: 0.0.740.3.4
  • URL: removed v prefix from tag; filename changed from Music.Assistant.Companion_#{arch}.app.tar.gzMusic.Assistant_#{arch}.app.tar.gz
  • SHA256: updated for both arm and intel variants
  • App bundle: Music Assistant Companion.appMusic Assistant.app
  • Metadata: updated name, desc, homepage, and verified domain
url "https://github.com/music-assistant/desktop-app/releases/download/#{version}/Music.Assistant_#{arch}.app.tar.gz",
    verified: "github.com/music-assistant/desktop-app/"

README.md

  • Fixed title and typo ("musis" → "Music")
