Problem/Motivation

I tried to add the library repository in the composer.json file:

    "repositories": [
        {
            "type": "composer",
            "url": "https://packages.drupal.org/8"
        },
        {
            "type": "package",
            "package": {
              "name": "rubentd/gifplayer",
              "version": "dev-master",
              "type": "drupal-library",
              "extra": {
                "installer-name": "gifplayer"
              },
              "dist": {
                "url": "https://github.com/rubentd/gifplayer/archive/refs/tags/0.3.7.tar.gz",
                "type": "zip"
              },
              "license": "MIT"
            }
          }
    ],

And I got this error when trying to download the library:

$composer require gifplayer/gifplayer

In PackageDiscoveryTrait.php line 383:
                                                                                                                                                                                                           
  Could not find a matching version of package gifplayer/gifplayer. Check the package spelling, your version constraint and that the package is available in a stability which matches your minimum-stabi

    I also changed the installer from tar.gz to zip and it seems to work now:

    ddev composer require "rubentd/gifplayer"

    I also made the same fix in the 8.x-1.x branch.

    I think I'm ready to create two tagged releases after fixing a lot of issues with the module, will do that tomorrow. Closing this to "Fixed"
