Auto-refresh only works with Firefox

[makoONE]

I have integrated a refreshable-picture-card in a home assistant dashboard. I noticed that the automatic refresh of the card only works with the Firefox browser. With other browsers like Chrome, Edge and Safari the automatic refresh does not work. The behavior is independent of the value of refresh_interval in the card configuration. Is this a bug in the card or a feature of the respective browser?

I updated a few days ago via home assistant hacs and could not understand why my images that save from my IP cameras 'on motion' to a tmp folder and then get displayed in refreshable-picture-card where not updating. (Same image remained no matter what I did)
After messing around for literally the entire day until I finally tried the firefox and it worked.
So I can confirm the new version only works in firefox and not chrome/brave/edge/etc..
There must be some caching issue that is causing a bug in chrome/brave/edge/...
PS: The slider for refresh interval is not working but putting in manually does work - unrelated I am sure.

Is there something we can do from our side ( besides refreshing the browsercache ) ?

I am not a javascript developer, but is the browser behavior perhaps related to the fact that since card version 0.2.0 code fragments are now loaded from external CDN unpkg.com?

I have obtained the refreshable picture card via HACS. What is the best way to downgrade to the previous version?
The card also does not update in the Home Assistant app and is therefore unusable for me.

@makoONE My 55" display is made up using many of these cards and it literally has ruined my home assistant by not having this working. I cannot figure out how it can be fixed and the developer isn't commenting here. I can only give it another week before I am forced to abandon ship.

I replaced the refreshable with the solution described in the thread earlier. Works without problems. - Wolfgang

I must be really stupid because I can't figure this out.

Sorry, my answer was too fast !
I used a solution from a different thread :
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/refresh-cached-images-in-lovelace-picture-elements-maybe-other-places-too/98351/9

Here is my version:

The picture which is update regularly via an automation : /local/media/meteogram.svg

Then I created a Generic Camera in Integrations , using this url :
http://192.168.10.41:8123/local/media/meteogram.svg

This resulted in an Entity : camera.meteogramm_2

In the UI I defined a card :
`
type: custom:config-template-card
entities:

• camera.meteogramm_2
  card:
  show_state: false
  show_name: false
  type: picture-entity
  camera_image: camera.meteogramm_2
  aspect_ratio: 1
  entity: camera.meteogramm_2

Hope this helps.

Is there a workaround for this bug ?

Oh boy, I'm really sorry for this issue!

I introduced the # url because I read that it would be easier on servers, but tested only on firefox... I'm a too lazy programmer!

Glad that it is fixed in 0.2.1!
