StartPage

[poetickatana]

I think it would be useful if there was an option to highlight installed games using a simple visual indicator. For example, using a colored border.

Being able to see at a glance which games are already installed can be helpful when choosing a new game to play. It can also serve as a reminder to uninstall games that you've already beaten.

Mousing over each of the covers to check the installation status can be tedious and the play/download icons are hard to distinguish sometimes.

When I started Playnite today all settings of StartPage where set back to default. I think I got everything as it was before but the resolution of the background image is extremely low, so low it's even visible when you blur it with a small radius.






Edit: And is there a way to backup the settings so I don't have to redo them again if this happens again?

Easily the best mod for Playnite.
Been messing with it and i was wondering if there is a way to have the shelves display vertically instead of horizontal.
Wanting to have a "side bar" with favorites virtical on the right of the screen?

The default render scaling is very low, so you need to increase that in the settings. And there is no built in way to store a backup, but you can make a copy of the config.json file. You can find it by going to the Add-ons window, than Installed -> Generic -> StartPage -> Data Directory. Did anything happen that might have caused the settings to be corrupted? Like did Playnite crash previously? Anything in the logs? Did other extensions also reset?

Thanks, got it.

Nothing unusual in the logs as fas I can see. My PC crashed yesterday, maybe this was causing the issue. I don't use many other addons and most of them are at default settings but success story for example still has me authorized so it doesn't look like others are affected.

Try the following:
- Update StartPage to version 2.3
- exit Playnite
- delete the config.json file
- launch Playnite

This will revert all your settings for StartPage, but I think it should also create the shelves properly. Also, the unsupported options should not have any effect on this.

I am currently experiencing this same issue of my 'Most Played' games not showing up on the Home screen. I have tried the steps listed here, but no dice. Any other suggestions? 

StartPage v 2.10.0 (latest)
Playnite v 9.19 (latest)

The Most Played view relies on data of the GameActivity extension, if there is no data, there won't be any games to display. Do you have that extension installed?

I just found about this extension a couple of days ago and I love it! Thanks for it!

Quick question, is it possible to hide/switch the most played section to something else?

Nevermind, I just found out the tags, that's more than enough for me!

You can (re-)move any view. Just right click the background and enter the edit mode. Some views also have a little gear icon when in edit mode, that allows you to customize them.

So, I've been using this extension, and everything works great, really like it and all but there's something bugging me out.

The Most Played section is not working correctly, I don't think the game times are being updated. For example, it shows correctly the game with more hours played as the "All time most played" but the other categories (last week, last month, last year, etc.) is just the same game that I played for 2h, while I have others that I played for longer than that.

I've been playing games from Steam, Playstation and Epic but that section is not updating. Also, I have added a "Last week" category and is not even showing up: https://i.imgur.com/r8MdX1r.png

I have the Game Activity extension installed (don't know if that helps in this case or not), but yeah, checked every setting on StartPage and Playnite and can't seem to find what's causing this.

Playnite only tracks how long a game was played, not individual sessions. So for the "All time" category, I can use that time, but not for the others. The rest depends on GameActivitiy's data, which has only been tracking sessions since it was installed. So for most games you played before that, or without Playnite running, the sum over all sessions is very different from Playnite's playtime, which is imported in some cases, from steam for example.

With playnite 10 is it possible to start on your extention ?

Yes, there is an option for it. But it is not officially supported by Playnite.
