Description
                                                                                                                                                                             
This extension is a companion tool to add unofficial support for new metadata in supported custom themes. Currently it can add unofficial logo support in compatible themes. Custom implementation in themes done by @DanDavis872 and @joyrider3774

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/darklinkpower/PlayniteScriptExtensions

The extension has the following functionalities:
1. Open the Extra Metadata directory of a game.
2. Add unofficial logo supports without needing to replace the icons asset as it's been done in some custom themes. Logo support includes:
  • Automatic logos download for games available on Steam
  • Add logo via file selection from local file
  • Add logo via URL input
  • Automatic moving of game icon to custom logo location for cases where the icon asset has been used as a logo replacement in a theme.
  • Download of trailers and microtrailer videos from Steam for viewing in compatible custom themes.
  • Functionality to set local videos to games.

RE: Extra Metadata Tools | Add unofficial metadata support in custom compatible themes - yo_hansolo - 01-29-2021

Hello,
thank you for this.
Do you think it's possible to add another metadata like the purchase price of games ?
Or do you know an extension that add this ?

Thank you.
Cheers/.

I think that's very different for the purpose of this extension, in my opinion it would make more sense to have something like that in the IsThereAnyDeal extension or another one. At the moment there's no extension that adds this.

v1.2
  • Added compatibility with Fullscreen Mode themes.

Hi, just found your great plugin
Trying to incorporate it in my theme and I got a question,
How can I detect if a game has logo or not? I want to show the game name when there isn't logo.

As I did it in Magpie, it's fortunately super easy. You can just set the title text's visibility according to a binding of the image's source value. If there is no image at the path, it returns as null.

The relevant line as I implemented it.

That block out of context:
<Style TargetType="TextBlock">
    <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="Collapsed"/>
        <Style.Triggers>
            <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=LogoImage, Path=Source}" Value="{x:Null}">
                <Setter Property="Visibility" Value="{DynamicResource TitleTextVisibility}"/>
            </DataTrigger>
        </Style.Triggers>
</Style>

RE: Extra Metadata Tools | Add unofficial metadata support in custom compatible themes - CPacaud - 02-20-2021

Hey! Thanks for making this, adds a really nice touch to how I've set things up.

I'm getting a file access error when I try to replace/delete an existing logo (makes sense, as Playnite probably has it "locked" when it's opened) using the context menu. The error roughly reads like "impossible to delete xxxx, process can't access file xxxx, because it's currently in use by another process" (I'm on a French Win10 so had to translate the message).

@CPacaud

Did you get a message saying that the configuration for the theme was updated like this?

If not, please restart Playnite to trigger the change. This is to prevent file locking issues.

I'm pretty sure I did get it, yes. I've had the extension installed for a while and just updated version. I guess I could try uninstalling it and reinstalling it!

Can you restart Playnite once again to make sure and then send me the file %AppData%\Playnite\Themes\Desktop\Harmony_d49ef7bc-49de-4fd0-9a67-bd1f26b56047\Constants.xaml

RE: Extra Metadata Tools | Add unofficial metadata support in custom compatible themes - CPacaud - 02-20-2021

Just restarted, here you go! File seems to show last modified on 02/02 though.

Quick update: I uninstalled and reinstalled Harmony. I did get the popup you mentioned (about the Extra Metadata config), restarted, and tried deleting a logo. I still get the file access error, for some reason.

RE: Extra Metadata Tools | Add unofficial metadata support in custom compatible themes - psyorange - 04-21-2021

Enjoying the plugin ! I want different background videos playing, according to what game is highlighted/selected in the ps5-ish menu. Any chance you might implement this/ is this already possible?

Where should I put the ffmpeg and youtube executables in order to work for the video feature?

Anywhere you want, you'll get a dialog to select them wherever they are located.
