Privacy Statement

Playnite itself doesn't store any user information and you generally don't need to provide any information to import installed games. All game library data is stored locally on your PC.

Account connection process depends on how a library plugin is implemented, but is usually done via official login web forms and only the web session cookies or tokens are stored, the same way when you login to those services via the web browser.

Add-ons

Playnite can be extended with plugins (written in .NET languages), PowerShell scripts and user interface themes.

See the extensions portal for more information about how to make these addons.

Code Contributions

Code contributions (pull requests) are currently not being accepted while majority of code base is being rewritten for Playnite 11.

Please wait with any pull requests after P11 is at least in beta state.

Please ask in the related issue first before starting implementing something to make sure that nobody else is already working on it. If an issue doesn't exist for your feature/bug fix, create one first.

Regarding code styling, there are only a few major rules:

private fields and properties should use camelCase (without underscore)
all methods (private and public) should use PascalCase
use spaces instead of tabs with 4 spaces width
add empty line between code block end } and additional expression
always encapsulate the code body after if, for, foreach, while etc. with curly braces:

if (true)
{
    DoSomething();
}

DoSomethingElse();

instead of

if (true)
    DoSomething();
DoSomethingElse();

Branches

master - default branch representing state of currently released build.
devel - development branch containing latest changes. All pull requests should be made against devel branch.
devel* - development branches for specific features/versions.

Roadmap

You can see the planned versions with their features in the milestones overview.

playnite's Issues

Add thegamesdb.net metadata provider

http://wiki.thegamesdb.net/index.php/API_Introduction

Service login improvements

Show successful/unsuccessful login attempts to GOG/Origin in first time wizard and settings windows
Offer re-login when library download fails by clicking on notification

Steam and GOG default cover rework

Add option to change how Steam and GOG cover are being generated. Current solution involves predefined style with provider logo to ensure that default cover aspect ration is maintained (which default images from store don't provide). This look might not be universally liked and it also might not fit selected app theme.

Installed games are not updated

When installation is executed outside of Playnite, Playnite will not show that game is installed until restart (even when reloading library manually).

Options to reset metadata to default values

Will re-download game metadata and images from provider site (Steam, GOG etc.) and reset them to default value

Fill out executable and working dir when creating new custom action

Custom actions usually contain just different arguments for main executable, so make it easier to user.

Add some basic PC info into diagnostics packages

CPU, RAM, OS Version etc.

Fix up theme

Remove unnecessary animations and improve color pallet

Starting Origin games may not trigger cloud save download

First startup after installation doesn't download cloud saves, starting via Origin downloads saves properly.

Add tray icon, option to minimize/close app to tray

Removed games remain selected

Removed games remain selected which can result in crash (sometimes). How to recreate:

Main menu, "Add game...", Ok
"New Game" is selected
Remove "New game" from list.
"New game" is still in main window.
Click on "More" button, select "Hide".

Battle.net game import

Full battle.net account sync is too complicated, but we could at least add support to automatically import installed games.

Any future plans for macOS/Linux support with Mono?

Nice project here, got a bit farther than mine ever did. Would like to know if there's any future plans for cross-platform support.

Enable list virtualization for all game list

This will improve performance a lot for big libraries. Virtualization is enabled by default in .Net 4.5 (which Playnite uses), but there are things that can break it http://stackoverflow.com/a/34438244/1107424

Also virtualization is by default disabled for grouping, so we should enable it in that case.

Better update dialog

Show changes and new features from last version when Playnite updates

Implement PropertyChanged.Fody on INotifyPropertyChanged classes

This will remove lots of boilerplate code.

https://github.com/Fody/PropertyChanged

Database game update changes all properties

When game is updated in DB all game properties report to UI new state even when not changed. This negatively impacts performance when editing multiple games at once.

Filter panel doesn't remember visibility state

Ability to import UWP games

list of installed packages: Get-AppxPackage
package info: Get-AppxPackageManifest
starting app: start shell:AppsFolder{FamillyId}!{ApplicationId}

Move Services cache data into database

All cache data are currently stored in memory, which is bad for several reasons:

increased memory usage
cache won't survive service restart

[Feature Request] Auto-close Playnite after launching game

Title is self-explanatory. Would be pretty cool to have an option to automatically close Playnite after launching a game.

Uplay game import

Full Uplay account sync is too complicated, but we could at least add support to automatically import installed games.

Add IGDB metadata provider

MessageBox buttons localization

MessageBox buttons are localized for system language despite english title and message.

Show more information about game

On details view, like publishers, release date etc.

Additional game actions are not added properly sometimes

When game is installed/uninstalled multiple times then built-in additional tasks are not added when importing game (for example additional launch options for Steam games).

High DPI support

Any way to import games from a second hard drive?

Hey there!

Great software, it was love at first sight. Love the UI, the auto labeling and import. Speaking of import though, it looks like Playnite only recognized games that were either on my C drive or (probably) that were listed in Windows' Add/Remove Programs. Most of my games are on a second E drive, and almost all non-GOG games are not listed in the Add/Remove Programs. For example: Rimworld (steam) is on my C, by not in Add/Remove so it didn't get imported into Playnite.

Is there something I'm missing? Or do installed games from Steam/Origin need to be added manually?

Gracefully close application before starting update process

Currently setup package is responsible for closing application while running update. We should close application gracefully first before running setup package in order to prevent possible "file in use" dialogs from setup.

Persistence of collapsed categories

Hi,

Right now it is possible to collapse categories, but if the user changes a view the categories expand back. Specifically, the categories expand when:

The filters are switched
The application restarts
A search is performed

I would find it more convenient if the application would be able to remember the state of collapse/expand and always return to it (unless the user makes a change).

Cheers,
Jan

Window position is saved with negative values

Not sure how to reproduce this, but window position is sometimes set to -32000 on both axes, which means that window is not visible on next start.

Import steam categories

Hi,

Firstly, thanks a lot for this software, I was looking for something like this for years now :) .

For the feature itself:
It would be really useful if the import from steam took into consideration also categories which the user created there. I have a library of 500 categorised games on steam and it took me good 5 hours to recreate the same structure in Playnite, therefore I think other users might find this useful.

Cheers,
Jan

Crash when database file is on missing device

For example if DB is on D:\ drive which is not connected.

List items spaces inconsistency

In main menu there are items with three dots at the end "Add installed games...", "Settings...", "About Playnite..." with no spaces. In game details, "More" button menu items have spaces in between three dots, "Edit . . .", "Set category . . .".

Add favorites category

Add integrated "Favorites" category as separate selection as well as filter option.

Selecting "Installed" and "Hidden" games at the same time

When selecting "Installed" and "Hidden" filter only "Hidden" games are visible. Is it suppose to work as logical AND and show games that are both "Installed" and "Hidden"?

Add custom links

Currently we have hard-coded fields for Store, Wiki and Forums links. We should allow user to add any number of custom links.

Speedup filters with partial reload of the view

Add information about Steam account id

It's not quite clear where to get Steam account id required for Steam library import. Add some information to import wizard including information that account has to be public for import to work properly.

Menu Item typo

"Three dots button" next to "VIEW" button, first item "Sory by name" instead of "Sort by name".

Provide option to change order of custom actions

Problems with first import of full libraries

I installed Playnite and tried to import all my games. When import started, several problems occured.

GOG did not download anything - an error emerged (which I could not copy, so I rewrote it here):

Failed to download GOG library updates: Error converting value {null} to type 'System.Int32'. Path 'products[42].updates', line 1, position 29227.

Steam did download some games, but not all of them. I have more than 600 and number in Playnite says 57. I didn't notice any error message. For info: I have only 14 games installed.

Origin seems to be ok.
