I've updated installomator to current version. When checking the Jamf computer policy logs, I noticed in the logs Installomater reports 'No newer version (line 50) but when I go out to the venders site there is a new version. What am I missing?

It's not working for 3.0.21. The $latestVersionURL points to "https://get.videolan.org/vlc/last/macosx/", but the "last" folder does not point to the latest version, rather to 3.0.20. Changing the URL to "https://get.videolan.org/vlc/3.0.21/macosx/" will work, but is no solution.
If we can't trust the "last" folder, perhaps it's possible to list all folders under "https://get.videolan.org/vlc/", sort the list so the highest nubmer is at the top/bottom, and pull the latest version form that? I don't know....

Hi:

Here is a working updated label that fixes the issue and downloads the universal binary vs Intel & Apple Silicon binaries.

HI @timnottom:

Ok, created an alternative method pull request for VLC that is less forgettable by the VLC maintainers.
