This is the error that is caused by going to the Library with Game Details enabled. This error is specifically stated as Start Page.

This is the error caused by GameActivity when Start Page is set to the auto home page.

I have just tested post update and the issue is the same with GameActivity. Hope this helps.

I have just tested post update and the issue is the same with GameActivity. Hope this helps.

The first one reported to be caused by StartPage crashes in some component used by GameActivity after calling the function SelectGame() of the PlayniteAPI, so that is not really up to me. I could just catch the exception at that point and keep going, but I should not have to do that and I don't know what other problems that could cause.

The second one is basically the same error, just not triggered by selecting a game via StartPage so I would not be able to catch that exception, even if I wanted to.

So I currently don't think that it is up to me to fix this error. As the second one is caused by a unsupported feature, I can currently only suggest to turn that off.

That said I made an attempt to fix these errors, although I doubt that these fixes will work. You can try the attached version and see if that changes anything. One of the potential fixes is a new option in the options window, that should activate automatically once Playnite crashed once.

I did many many tests.
I have a Playnite crash only with one condition (and I've a lot extension).
Playnite crash when I've an extension that not load properly (in my case is VNDB metadata plugin).
It's also the case with your version 1.4.6.

Okay, that I can reproduce. I don't know why that happens exactly (seems to be some weird wpf issue), but if an incompatible extension is installed, it crashes when trying to load the StartPage view. I wouldn't know why one would have an incompatible extension installed (maybe just from updating Playnite, but that notification should get people to at least disable it, I feel), but it shouldn't cause a crash like that regardless.

I fixed that, but I cannot confirm that it helps with the crashes that other people have that seem to always happen in a component used by GameAcitivity. I couldn't reproduce these to begin with so I wouldn't know if they are gone now.

I attached a version with that fix applied.

Just tried your update, the details view issue seems to have gone away.

But the GameActivity one hasn't. I did notice that even though I tried it with the potential fix enabled, once I restarted playnite, the potential fix became enabled, not sure if it actually did or if it's a UI bug. Either way, that one doesn't appear to have solved my specific issue. No worries though, I understand it's in development and isn't down to your extension specifically. Plus I understand that that particular feature isn't supported.

Keep up the good work

Ok cool new update but there are still some things that could be improved maybe?

Hide Settings Button (Toggle on / off)
set number of games displayed in the 2 bottom rows, before 10 was max, now with new update it shows a slider bar
and setting random background also shows backgrounds of hidden games maybe exclude hidden games?

Is there a way to reset the settings?
I checked the two "unsupported" settings and now Playnite just crashes on start.
I deleted the extension and reinstalled, but it still doesn't work.

Thanks. Yeah, I just found about it.
It seems that checking the "Sidebar Item activated at Launch" to be "Start Page" doesn't play nice with GameActivity.
I'll have to think which one I want to keep.

This would be nice, sure.
But would it also be possible to have the name of the random game displayed somewhere? Or maybe just as a tooltip (if these are possible).
The reason for this is that sometimes I just can't remember the game's name, especially if it's a game that I don't have installed.

Just hover with your mouse over the game and it will show you details and the logo / name

That is for the games in the lists. That's fine. It works.
I was talking about the background. When you set it to random it chooses from the all the games from all libraries. And sometimes the game looks interesting but I don't know the game's name. And if I want to install it, it would be useful to have the source of the background image displayed somewhere.

Nice Smile


Also I just released v1.7.0 which includes some of the suggested changes. Hopefully it didn't break something again.
