I tried installing version 3.13.3 in two different formats and neither worked. First, I tried installing it directly through Playnite's new Add-On menu (Add-ons > Browse > Generic > Duplicate Hider). After I restarted Playnite, it gave me 7 versions of the error described in post #120 (one version for each launcher type I was trying to replace). I read post #122 and did the same (uninstalled DH through Playnite, installed it using the .pext on GitHub). Same result with no functionality, but no errors this time. Any ideas where to go from here?
EDIT: Not going to delete this and hide my shame, but I figured out what to do 5 minutes after posting this. I had to click the Playnite icon, mouse down to Extensions > DuplicateHider and click Hide Duplicates. Hopefully my learning process will help someone in the future.
No shame in that. Also, most extensions also have settings that you can change. You will find them by clicking on the Playnite icon and then "Add-ons...". DuplicateHider allows you to change the priorities with which games are hidden. Also there is an option for automatically hiding duplicates. And there is the option to enable custom ui integration that is supported by many of the custom themes, which allows easy access to the hidden copies, if need be.
