Problem compiling - can't install a library

ESPHome

Hi, I’m trying to compile a YAML file with ESPHome in terminal and I’m stuck at installing libraries. At first there was a problem with other libraries but I could easily find them and install with pio lib install. However I got to this:

INFO Reading configuration livingroom.yaml...
INFO Generating C++ source...
INFO Compiling app...
INFO Running:  platformio run -d rololy

As you can see it says ESPHome is unable to find a library named “Update” which is probably one of the most common words associated with software and it’s impossible to google it. Does anybody know how to fix this problem? Thank you!

Sorry about my quoting, bloody phone.

That is the problem it seems to me. A momentary glitch in the matrix. Try again.

Hi, thank you very much for your answer but unfortunately after giving it a few hours I’m still getting the same error. I don’t have any domains blocked on my system and before I had the same problem with other libraries and I could install them with no difficulties with pio.

The terminal output shows a colon after the URL:

InvalidURL: Failed to parse: https://api.registry.platformio.org/v3/packages:

Is it a part of the output or of the URL?
