Greetings from the toliet. I’m looking for something like jellyfin for video games where I could look at the art of the game and see the description and download the game through the web portal.
Playnite might be what you’re looking for. I love it personally. Open source, the maintainer’s a boss and updates constantly, lots of extensions. Works beautifully with emulators too.
Note that this isn’t like something that lets you play your games from anywhere or download your games from anywhere.
Here’s mine
Man I have playnite too but yours looks so much better than mine. Looks like I gotta dive back into themes
I’m using mythic. You can also download it directly from playnight by hitting f9 of opening the add-ons menu > browse > desktop themes
and details to grid view converter you can download this directly too using the same menu > browse > generic.
The view affects the “grid view” but lets you essentially expand the details pane. Should be simple from there!
GOG Galaxy is also a really good game manager. I was pleasantly surprised by its newer release. Scans games from all of your popular platforms (Steam, Epic, etc) as well as custom library folders.
I’ve found it to be very bloated and slow myself. Not to mention it wasn’t able to detect a good chunk of my library. The fact that it requires an app from the Windows Store is super odd too.
I’m glad they changed it. The name of your product, the thing it’s gonna be known for, is a terrible place for puns. Losing potential users and contributors over a joke name is dumb as hell.
I found the name funny, but having to tell my 6yo to open “crack pipe” to play his game isn’t as much…
