This repository is used as a database source for Playnite's integrated add-on browser. Only add-ons submitted in this database will be visible in add-on browser and will be able to utilize add-on auto-update feature.
To submit an add-on:
- Navigate to appropriate add-on directory.
- Use Add File button and create new .yaml addon manifest file.
- Commit using Propose new file and create pull request
This process will create new pull request that will be awaiting a review. Once the pull request is reviewed and merged, your add-on will be visible in add-on browser. Please note that it may take a minute after the pull request is merged for add-on to be visible in add-on browser.
NOTE You can of course use standard git process to clone this repository and submit pull request from your fork if you are more familiar with git workflow.
If you want to provide users with an easy way to directly install your add-on, you can generate special URI that will start add-on installation directly:
playnite://playnite/installaddon/<AddonId>
You can also link to add-on entry on web addon browser:
