Hi, don't know what I did wrong but nothing appear in game description. I use the classic plain theme. I checked integration on game description.

Has you get the data for game?
The first step is to get the data on selecting the game and go to the extension menu and select HowLongToBeat.

This is really nice, thank you.

It would be great if this could be shown in the details area in some way, maybe using an existing field. Not sure how feasible that is though.

Thanks for the hard work

Hi, this is a really cool extension. Is it possible to integrate the howlongtobeat information into the description of every game in a library? I use the SteamNite 2.0 theme, so I don't know how that feature would look for everyone else, but here is a (poorly edited) screenshot of the idea I was thinking of. https://imgur.com/a/G8ODtzP

Thanks for your comeback.
For a better integration with a custom theme, You must see with the theme's author.

I got some ideas for using in custom themes. I have added an issue.
Thanks again, nice work.

Hi, I found a bug. I am trying to integrate to my custom theme. The code works well in GridView but in details view I got nothing.

The code is:

<StackPanel Grid.Column="4" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="10,2,2,0">
    <Label Grid.Row="1" Name="PART_ElemPlayTime" Width="Auto" Height="27" Foreground="#b4b4b4" FontSize="18"
        FontFamily="Corbel" Typography.Capitals="AllSmallCaps" Content="{DynamicResource LOCTimePlayed}"></Label>
    <GridEx 
        GridEx.ColumnCount="2" GridEx.StarColumns="1"  
        GridEx.RowCount="1" GridEx.AutoLayoutColumns="2">
        <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
            <ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
        </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        
        <TextBlock  Grid.Column="0" Name="PART_TextPlayTime" VerticalAlignment="Center" TextBlock.Foreground="#FFF0F0F0" Width="Auto" Height="20"/>  
        <StackPanel  Grid.Column="1" Name="PART_hltbProgressBar" Width="Auto" Height="16" HorizontalAlignment="Center" 
            VerticalAlignment="Center" Margin="5,2,0,2" ></StackPanel>
        
    </GridEx>   
                                                    
</StackPanel>

Hi, just after finishing my edits to my custom theme, the integration has been working both in details and grid view.  

And just a pair of comments. I saw a suggestion for adding labels for the times, but i think it will be useful another option to add tooltips on mouse over with the kind of time  and its value. And I like the button in this plugin that its just an icon, maybe for your others plugins, can you update for customize it, show just icon, or title or details?.

Thanks, in advance.

I watch it too.

My other plugins have a button with only title or details but not just a icon.

How to tag the games with time to beat?

I tried to use the "add" button in the options, but I can't find the tag.

A tag is added if the game have a "how long to beat" data.

For the moment, the first step is to download manually the data.
If the tag option is eenabled, a tag will be added.

I downloaded the "how long to beat" data, pressed "add" in the plugin options, but still I can't see the tag.
I also tried to delete and add again the data.
