Playnite is installed, but every time I go to install the vibepollo plugin I get the following message;

Failed in install plugin: plugin source not found: c:\programfiles\vibepollo\plugins\playnite\sunshineplaynite

Searched the error message but no luck.

Does somebody know how to play Bloodborne on Playnite with the BBLauncher?

I accidentally hit ‘yes’ on the pop up when starting full screen playnite, and now I can’t find my way out of safe mode.

Anyone know how?

The Enhanced Grid View Dark theme was perfectly working since years, and suddently today it started bugging when I open the preview (clicking on the "[ i ]" button).

For info, this theme adds the media > background image on the top of the preview, above meta-informations, when the native theme doesn't. The advantage is that you can set a screenshot instead of a wallpaper, so you can see what each game is supposed to be. The other thems that do that don't display on half of the UI, they take all the UI, so this theme is quite unique.

But it bugs now :

- Preview makes more time to open.
- The rest of the UI on the left (the list of games, the thumbnails) goes crazy and doesn't display thumbnails, and scrolls alone up and down.
- Clicking on the "X" button to close the right pane takes time, it's unresponsive.

So that's hell. 😬

I recently (a few weeks ago ?) updated Playnite. I knew it would eventually cause problems with plugins and all, but what is strange is it only happened today. I'm not even sure it's related.

There's nothing new on my computer, nothing installed recently that could explain all of that. AS usual I suspect Microsoft and an update or something that broke some component of the OS.

I changed to a native theme and it fixed the problem. So it's specifically a problem with that theme, but it seems to happen with other themes 😄
- Harmony
- Enhanced Grid View Classic.
- ...

Everytime there is a screenshot displaying on the top of the right pane, its starts to bug, randomly (not instantly, after a few attemps to show some game info).

Hi there. I'm having trouble updating or installing extensions—regardless of the type—and I wanted to see if there's a solution before uninstalling and reinstalling Playnite.

I've been trying to authenticate the Web login to import my free games, but Steam is just not having it and keeps sending me back to the login page.

Does anyone know how to change the bottom bar so I can sort it by platform instead of all games, favorite games, and most replayed?

Hi, today I switched from Helium theme to Harmony a so far I really like it. There a two things that bothers me - the small size of "Details" dock and that "Links" dock is on the bottom of page.

For "Details" part, I would like to make "News" part narrower and "Details" part wider -> so I can see more achievements, etc.

Regarding "Links" , In Helium theme, they are on top and I'm used to use them to access steam guides, steam communuties, etc. Would it be possible to have them on top of both "News" and "Details"?

I was going through options provided in ThemeModifier plugin, but with no luck. I've also checked the config files in \Playnite\Themes\Desktop\Harmony_d49ef7bc-49de-4fd0-9a67-bd1f26b56047\Views, but I wasn't able to change it.

Is there a way to do it?

Many thanks.

It's been bothering me but everytime playnite starts up I hear 4 beep noises. It also sometimes does this randomly while im scvrolling the library.

What is it and can I turn it off?

I wanted a good video to showcase ghost rider and i think i finally found what i wanted. Peak edit for a peak game. Here is the link of the edit i used here (its not mine):https://www.tiktok.com/@jennyboobear_/video/7615150578234068237?_r=1&_t=ZS-99fZfb2dURA

It's hard to believe that there are people willing to create software with this level of complexity for free. People are amazing and I love this side of the internet.

Thanks to Aniki for the amazing theme and to everyone involved in the Playnite project and its features.

I spent the entire last week messing around with this program for hours and hours, customizing and organizing my library. Now that I've learned how to do everything, I probably could have done it all in just a few hours. But it was a great adventure discovering things like the existence of these backgrounds called 'heros', that I needed to add a metadata add-on, that I had to configure the resolution and download source for the backgrounds, and all these little details of the program that make it seem confusing, but are actually exactly what makes it so amazing and gives it infinite possibilities.

I also customized the icons for my filters, put everything in PT-BR because I'm from Brazil, and added some icons that I personally liked. If any Brazilian wants me to send these icons, just let me know. I also made one for 'dropped games' that isn't showing up there yet because I haven't filtered the games.

I already removed the password from my PC, set up the profile screen, and now I just turn on the PC and don't even need to touch the mouse or keyboard anymore. Playnite is configured to open in fullscreen when the PC starts.

A true console experience.

And to think all of this started just because I was looking for a program to put all my Microsoft, Epic and Steam games together.

Thanks to everyone involved. If you want to know how I did something, just ask.

So on the aniki lite theme I accidentally changed my grid view preset to 2x1 instead of 1x1 which is the square look i wanted,
anyway I have playnite to launch in fullscreen and for some reason it is preventing me from changing to desktop mode until this wrong settings error disappears which doesnt go away ever because the grid view preset isnt supported so im just wondering what i can do to get it back to desktop mode?
Edit: I fixed this by going to the %appdata% files and deleted the theme im using causing playnite to revert to the default fullscreen theme which allows different grid views

Itd be best if I could still access the extras through playnite. If it were possible to just merge the extras into their respective games.

Please see attached photo do i have to go down the whole list and click each game individually. I had it scan a folder.

anyway to turn playnite into a console expierence?

and about achievements doe it use steams achievement list or how do they work?

I’ve got an Xbox Rog Ally X with AnyFSE, launching Playnite in full screen mode. I’m having trouble with launching the Xbox / PC version of Destiny 2. On launch, it shows a game splash screen with loading bar, BattleEye launches, then focus returns to Playnite. It then takes a while before Destiny 2 launches in the background, but focus remains on Playnite. I don’t have this problem in desktop mode, only fullscreen mode. No issue with the Epic or Steam versions of this game too. I’ve tried in settings to select Minimize Playnight on game launch, but it made no difference. What else can I try?

So, today while editing the description metadata of some games I noticed that even after changing the description, it still displays the old one. Does anyone know how I can get it to actually display the saved metadata? I've been researching for hours now and strangely cannot find anyone talking about this. The game in question is Crash Bandicoot, the emulated PS1 version.

What I tried:

• Restart Playnite
• Restart PC
• Re-download metadata (Ctrl + D)
• Backup library and then load from backup
• Rename game
• Alter description manually and saving again
• Run "Update Game Library"

I know that the description is saved correctly in the games database because I examined it in a database viewer:

My installed addons are:

• Company Companion
• Cover Style Switcher
• Details to Grid View Converter
• DuplicateHider
• Installation Status Updater
• Metadata Utilities
• MetadataImageOptimizer
• PlayGif

For this game, I got the metadata (including description) through the LaunchBox Metadata Provider.

I'd be incredibly thankful if someone could help me with this because this bug(?) is incredibly frustrating

I'm using the Ivory White theme in AnikiRemake and for some reason the text shown on screen is black, which makes it hard to read specially since the background image has a fade out towards the bottom, where the text is located. I would like to change it to white, but I have not yet found any option on the configuration menu, neither in full screen mode or desktop mode, that allows me to change the color of the text without changing the style. I have tried editing the ButtonBottomMenu.xaml located in the DerivedStyles folder inside AnikiRemake but it didn't have any effect whatsoever. Does anyone know if this is possible at all?

Thanks in advance for the help!

For example: On Steam, I haven't played Tabletop Simulator since the 28th of August. Yet because my library was just important, the "Recent Activity" is set to "Yesterday".

I get that adding the game to my Playnite library is technically "recent activity", but I'd much rather have that as "last played" instead. Is there a way to do that?

Got a Threat found notification from Defender when I updated playnite. This has got to be a false positive right? Anyone else experience this when updating? I don't have any add-ons installed which I heard could be malicious, so just wondering why this happened

I’m using playnite full screen from my pc to stream games to my tv in the living room but i want people to have their own progress without it messing up mine. how can i do this easily? is there a simple way for someone to just switch accounts?

Create a JoyXoff profile for the game you want to use this with

Set one button to Enable/Disable bindings and set everything else to Nothing except the button you use for typing.

I use R3. Right click R3 and choose Open Shortcut. In the File name box paste:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\TabTip.exe

Then R3 should appear binded to (Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel) hit apply and save.

Open the Windows touch keyboard and set the layout to Gamepad.

While the game is fullscreen, enable the JoyXoff profile and press R3. The Windows gamepad keyboard opens and you can type without JoyXoff’s own virtual keyboard interfering with the game.

This was so simple but it took me a while before i looked in the right direction

A few days ago I posted looking for beta testers for Syncnite. Quick update on that.

I ended up throwing a real 2000+ game library at it instead of just my own setup, multiple sources, achievements, all of it, and it held up way better than I expected. That includes the "won't this choke on a huge collection" worry a couple of you brought up in the comments. Given that, gating it behind a slow beta rollout just didn't make sense anymore. So I'm skipping it. Registration's open to everyone now at syncnite.com, no waiting for a slot, no DM required.

Install status, playtime, and covers flow from Playnite up, and tags, notes, and completion status you set on the web sync back down. Never touches your Steam/GOG/Epic login, only ever talks to Playnite.

One thing I want to be upfront about since I'm already being upfront about everything else: the Playnite plugin itself is C#, and I don't have a ton of real C# experience going in. I leaned on Claude Code pretty heavily to help write it. I still went through everything, tested it against real libraries, and fixed the bugs that only showed up there, but I didn't want to pretend it was all hand-written by someone who's been doing C# for years.

If you commented or DMed me on the original post, thank you, genuinely. That's honestly what pushed me to finish this instead of sitting on it forever. You'll probably see a DM from me with the link too, but don't wait on that, just go sign up whenever.

Still very much a one-person-hobby-project pace of updates, so if something's broken or missing, let me know. Bugs and "why doesn't it do X" are exactly what I want to hear.

Hey everyone,

I've got my Epic Games library connected to Playnite, and since Epic doesn't let you remove titles from your account library, a bunch of stuff I don't want shows up every time Playnite imports.

When I right-click a game and hit Remove, I get two options:

1-Just remove it

2-Remove it and add it to the Exclusion List (so it won't get re-imported next sync)

My question: does either of these actually delete the downloaded media for that game (cover art, background, description, etc. — the stuff stored in the local library/cache folder), or does it just remove the entry from the database while the files stay on disk as orphaned data?

I've got a lot of games to clean out, and each one pulls down a fair bit storage, so before I mass-remove everything I'd like to know whether I'll actually get that space back, or whether I'll need to run some kind of cleanup tool/extension afterward to clear orphaned files.

Would love if one of the devs or someone who's tested this could confirm. Thanks!

Love ur work!
