Just a dumb thought, but I have been bitten many times by it.

please try bitbake myvideos -c cleansstate

then bitbake myvideos to build the recipe.

Alternatively, you can of course rev up the PR everytime you change

And yes, I forgot to mention in my previous mail that the
mypics-1.0.tar.gz is located in
meta-autif/recipes-autif/mypics/mypics-1.0/mypics-1.0.tar.gz

As Rudolf suggested - bitbake is a bit finickey about '-' and '_'
