mne not recognising mne-qt-browser version for epochs instance

[emmaducos]

Describe the bug

I created a conda environment, installed the full version of MNE (via conda & mamba), and installed ipympl for interactive views.
raw.plot(block=True) worked by itself with the mne-qt-browser feature, but when I wanted the same for the epoch instance (of the same raw data) with the command epochs.plot(block=True), it switched to matplotlib backend.
I then tried with this command: mne.viz.plot_epochs(epochs) and got the following message :
'You set the browser-backend to "qt" but your current version 0.0.0 of mne-qt-browser is too low for Epochs.Update with pip or conda.Defaults to matplotlib.
Using matplotlib as 2D backend.'

when looking at my conda environment, I have mne-qt-browser 0.5.0 installed, but it did not appear in mne.sys_info().
also, when I try to install mne-qt-browser via conda, I get the message that the requirement is already satisfied. (and I can see in the environment list of packages that mne-qt-browser is installed with version 0.5.0)
it seems that for my epoch instance mne does not recognize mne-qt-browser version, eventhough it works for the raw instance.

Steps to reproduce

sample_data_folder = mne.datasets.sample.data_path()
sample_data_raw_file = (
    sample_data_folder / "MEG" / "sample" / "sample_audvis_filt-0-40_raw.fif"
)
raw = mne.io.read_raw_fif(sample_data_raw_file)
event_dict = {
    "auditory/left": 1,
    "auditory/right": 2,
    "visual/left": 3,
    "visual/right": 4,
    "smiley": 5,
    "buttonpress": 32,
}
events = mne.find_events(raw, stim_channel="STI 014")
epochs = mne.Epochs(
    raw,
    events,
    event_id=event_dict,
    tmin=-0.2,
    tmax=0.5,
    preload=True,
)
epochs.plot(block=True)

Expected results

visualization of epoch instance with mne-qt-browser

Actual results☺

'You set the browser-backend to "qt" but your current version 0.0.0 of mne-qt-browser is too low for Epochs.Update with pip or conda.Defaults to matplotlib.
Using matplotlib as 2D backend.'
and then a working plot with matplotlib backend.

Argh probably an issue with the mne-qt-browser feedstock. I'll take a look

[larsoner]

Should be fixed by conda-forge/mne-qt-browser-feedstock#24, if you do mamba install mne-qt-browser in an hour or so it should fix the problem

[larsoner]

Closing for

• MAINT: Fix version conda-forge/mne-qt-browser-feedstock#24
• BUG: Add tests for setuptools_scm versions, fix mne-qt-browser mne-installers#188

I had to reinstall the full mne package into a new conda environment, and now it works !
(just reinstalling mne-qt-browser did not update the package since for conda, it was already the latest version).
Thank you for responding this quickly !
