Filtered Games List

[ChonUnca]

Hello!
I try to export list of multi-player games.

In my mind i had 2 choices:
- Manually filtered game in the view, then exporting the view with my extension
- Filtering list of games from database in my extension and then export it

My problem is i found nothing to realize that in Api docs.

I tried the PlayniteApi.MainView.SelectedGames but it export only manually selected games, i miss a CurrentViewGames method to get all game currently displayed depending of filters/display options choosed, or a method to allow my extension to select all the games from the current view (without manually selecting them)
Then i tried to use IGameDatabase too, but i miss arguments to give to method for filtering the list with tags=multiplayer.

Can someone point me where in the APIdoc i can found something to help me with this kind of needs?

You need to iterate through "Games" collection and check "Features" or "Tags" of each game for multi-player, then export that game if you need to.

If you just want to export currently filtered list, then that's not possible at the moment: https://github.com/JosefNemec/Playnite/issues/1177

If you just want to export you can simply filter in the pipeline using the library exporter that is included in Playnite.

https://github.com/JosefNemec/Playnite/b...ter.ps1#L8

You can add to the pipeline

Where-Object {$_.Features.name -contains "Multiplayer"}

So it would be:

$PlayniteApi.Database.Games | Where-Object {$_.Features.name -contains "Multiplayer"} | Select Name, Source, ReleaseDate, Playtime, IsInstalled | ConvertTo-Csv | Out-File $path -Encoding utf8

You can also use the Dialogs API to not have to hardcode the feature name and be able to input it

...

$featureInput = $PlayniteApi.Dialogs.SelectString("Input feature name", "Library Export", "");
if ($featureInput.result -eq $false)
{
    exit
}

...

$PlayniteApi.Database.Games | Where-Object {$_.Features.name -contains "$($featureInput.SelectedString)"} | ...
