This extension will export your selected games to NVIDIA Geforce Experience GameStreaming games database, allowing you to run them via a NVIDIA Shield or in any Moonlight Game Streaming supported device, while retaining all the benefits of Playnite and allowing it to still manage your games.

Out of curiosity, why don't you just add Playnite.Fullscreen.exe to Gamestream and actually use Playnite to browse your library instead of Gamestream?

I made this extension because it was suggested here: https://github.com/JosefNemec/Playnite/issues/1769 but answering your question, if I were to use it I see it much more convenient to simply launch the game you want directly from your phone instantly by just a click without having to go through an extra menu and perhaps there are only a few games that I actually want to play from my phone and don't want to see all my library bloated on the screen with games I won't ever play that way. Now, I'll have to see if my internet connection can actually handle game streaming but I suspect it won't...

Ah nice - thanks!
You put that together fast! (I'm the one who put that feature request on github)
I certainly appreciate it, but do hope it wasn't overly complicated - I almost feel bad for making someone go out of their way to do that.
But sorry for saying sorry - I do appreciate it, and hope plenty others too will get to use and enjoy this extension.

As for an additional reason why I also thought it could be cool to have this functionality - was also that in Playnite I already have all my games set up, and some of them may have arguments that would be lengthy and bothersome to copy into a one-by-one thing in Nvidia GE/gamestream, whereas with this, I can just output it directly as I already set it up in Playnite.

Glad to be of help. I had fun making it so no problem here.
Also, fixed a bug with the first release where the path was hardcoded after my username, make sure to download the 1.0.1 version!

Thanks for the explanation. On a phone it makes a lot more sense to get directly into game. I mostly stream to a TV in a sort of console like experience so I boot straight into Playnite. It's always interesting to see how different people have different setups.

I probably don't do it right but for me te extension reports about successful shortcut creation - and nothing appears in GeForce Experience. Win10 with latest updates, latest GeForce Experience, latest drivers, etc.
Shortcuts do appear in Moonlight on my tablet though. So, minor issue (probably at GF side).

You are right, I made some changes in the newest version and didn't notice that. While it will work even when they don't appear, they should show there. I'll fix this later today.

Confirming: everything appeared at both GF Experience (after little delay) - and the list in Moonlight updated itself properly.

(I can finally try to play Dwarf Fortress conveniently on my tablet >_<)

Loving this! I wonder, is it possible to have it close the Playnite/game instance once the session from moonlight is ended?

Currently if I quit the session, the game stays up on my monitor if I don't explicitly close out.

Hello, I've not checked in other clients but in the Android Moonlight client after exiting a game, if you long click the title you can select something like "Quit Session" or similar that will close the game.

This just saved me a lot of time, thanks!

Just wanted to sat thanks for this. It's saved me a ton on time

Thank you for updating and writing thist.

I have a suggestion: If a game (or more) gets removed, can you display these Or dump the result to a text file (not overwriting, but appending)?

Thank you!

Glad you all are finding it useful! I don't even use it so it's good to see the effort was not for nothing

You can see the results of what games are moved in the Playnite log file "Playnite.log" . It is located in the root Playnite installation folder in portable installations and in %Appdata%/Playnite/Playnite.log when using the installed version. The extension can't remove anything, can you explain what do you mean by removed please?

I got the message "38 games added, 1 game removed" in a dialog window (sorry, don't have a screenshot). I was wondering, what game was disabled for nvidiea GeForce experience..

As you can see here in the source, the results dialog doesn't have a message similar to what you describe https://github.com/darklinkpower/Playnit...t.ps1#L100

Are you not confusing the extension with this other one? NVIDIA GeForce NOW Enabler | Launch games via NVIDIA GeForce NOW service
