Very nice work, got videos & logos integrated nicely in my new upcoming theme update. You've done a really good job.

Not sure if this been mentioned, but I initially moved Playnite & the database awhile back from appdata/roaming on my small C drive to the D drive for storage reasons & it worked fine. However any themes stored in this new Playnite location outside of the c drive don't display unofficial metadata by default. Only themes inside c/appdata/roaming/playnite will display, a junction between folders fixed this for me but I just thought it was worth mentioning if anyone else did similar and has issues in the future.

Also, could this support & download banners from steam/steamgrid as an unofficial source similar to logos? One issue I've always had when using backgrounds as banner is switching to different themes that use full screen backgrounds & needing to redownload all my background metadata so they look ok. Easier downloads, storage & user setup for banners that are completely seperate from backgrounds would be excellent.

Anyway to automatically add logos instead of going game by game ? i have over 200 and that would take a while

You can select the games with Ctrl + A (sort by a filter first if you must) then just right click and download logos for selected games. But I agree, an automatic download on adding would be a nice option. Maybe in Playnite 9 a progress bar could be passed through or something.

Fantastic work. I'm using this with the Simpleish theme and it looks great with the trailers. I have a playnite error I'm getting when automatically downloading trailers though.
"
Failed to execute menu action.
Cannot index into a null array.
"
This happens on specific games, and if I'm trying to download for a group of games at the same time, it will prevent the download of any further trailers in that selection. I have to figure out which game is causing the error, and skip it. The game which causes the error has a VideoTemp file in it's extra metadata directory. It seems to mostly happen downloading Steam trailers. The game I just tried was Arma 2 on Steam.

I then tried to auto download a youtube trailer for that one game, and it succeeded. I think this error occurs mostly if not only for HD Steam trailers.

Is there an easy way to clean out the Extra Metadata folders for games that were uninstalled or removed from Playnite? 
Concerned about the space still being taking up after I get rid of a game and me probably not remembering to open its Extra Metadata folder from Playnite as an additional step.

Open a GitHub issue please to add it in a future version, so I don't forget it

I thought I posted this the other day but I guess I got distracted, so apologies if I did and it was removed for some reason. My issue is pretty vague but every time I click "Download logos for selected PC games from Steam" it always without fail says "Downloaded logo of 0 games." I can download logos from Steamgriddb and Google with no issue at all. I've had this issue for months and I've combed through all the settings I can think of but I can't find anything that might be preventing the logos from Steam from working. Sorry the issue is pretty non-specific, any idea what might be preventing this from working?

Sorry but this is not the issue, it's definitely for games that have logos. It's not finding logos that should be there for some reason. It's failing to find logos for literally every Steam game in my library, and I can open Steam itself and see the logos that exist for these games. Something isn't working the way it's supposed to on my end.

is there a way to stop overlapping sounds from playing? i use playnite sounds to play a custom game for everygame i'm veigin but it doesnt stop when the trailer is playing

I love this 'lil addon, mate. Great job.

But I have a question. Would it be possible to embed YouTube trailers in the details view for every game (via link or even auto search) and play/stream them directly from YouTube instead of downloading every video? It would save a lot of disk space and the only downside is that you would have to be online for it to work.

Is that even possible within PlayNite?

tl;dr Ability to auto search and stream embedded trailers directly from YouTube instead of downloading them. Possible?

- Fix youtube downloads failing if user paths contained spaces

How would I go about utilizing this feature: "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."

'Right Click a game -> Extra Metadata tools -> Logos' but there isn't anything there regarding this specific action.

It must have been a bug on P9 beta. The menu shows up just fine in 8.15.

Awesome extension, thanks. I have a question. Is there a way for the videos to only stream from the sources instead of being downloaded to my hard drive? Kinda like in the "Search Collection" extension. It's still pretty fast and it saves up a lot of space.

I removed that option for the P9 release. If you need to convert them, you can do it before migrating your normal install to P9 when it gets out of beta and you update normally.

Unfortunately the issue is that videos are not compatible with the player that is used to play videos so it's needed to download and convert them so they can be played. Streaming directly would not work.

Hi so I've gone through all the setup to try get trailers
- via the right click menu downloaded the trailer for the game
- I can see the trailer file in the "extra metadata" folder
- in desktop mode
- I've tried Stardust and Harmony but on the details view I don't see any trailers.

Is there a step I missed to get the trailer to display, or some compatibility between versions?
My setup is:
Playnite 8.15
Stardust_1_23.pthm
Harmony_1_23.pthm
Extra_Metadata_Tools_Video_1_2_1.pext
Extra_Metadata_tools_1_6.pext

Screenshot https://i.imgur.com/octpqkm.png

edit: here's the tail of my playnite.log, https://pastebin.com/rxUcKHdm
I turned on media controls in Stardust and pressing the buttons moves the elements around, like it's got the frame there but the video's invisible or otherwise not playing.

Fullscreen mode in SIMPLEish theme has an unplaying black box. https://i.imgur.com/wwtSL81.png

If the video is downloading and not playing, it probably means you don't have Windows Media installed. This here applies https://github.com/darklinkpower/Playnit...ot-playing
