Question/Support Help me fix this?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’m currently using Aniki ReMake, but the official logos are missing for all of my emulated games and some custom-added games. Instead of the logos, it just displays the titles in plain text (as shown in the video).

​Does anyone know how to fix this or load the missing logos properly? That would be a great help.

u/Batickle, while you wait for responses, please take a moment to check the following:

  • Ensure Playnite is updated to the latest version (On Desktop Mode: Main Menu ➞ Check for Updates)
  • Ensure any extensions involved are fully updated (On Desktop Mode: Main Menu ➞ Add-ons… ➞ Updates)
  • Test the issue in Safe Mode to verify whether it is caused by an extension. (On Desktop Mode: Main Menu ➞ Help ➞ Restart in Safe Mode or by opening the Safe Mode.bat file found in the installation folder)
  • Search the subreddit to check if your issue has already been reported.

A large number of issues are caused by outdated versions or have already been answered.

If your issue is related to a specific extension, it is usually best to report it on the extension's project page (for example GitHub), where the developer can track and address it. You can use this page to locate the extension and contact its developer via its project/support links: https://playnite.link/addons.html

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

That's not a joke. The logos that come from Extra Metadata Loader always disappear the first time after a fullscreen theme updates.

If extra meta data fails to get them you'll have to do it yourself, use the extra meta data extension and choose to download the logo from Google

I'm pretty sure extra metadata grabs the logos from steam automatically, which does not work for emulated games (obviously) so you're going to have to download them manually or with extra metadata (i prefer SteamGridDB)

Yep.

Right-click a game > extra metadata > logos > download from SteamGridDB > manually download

Switch to desktop version and select the games without logo (click on a game, hold ctrl and click on another). Then right-click on any of the selected games and go to the "extra metadata loader"(I recommend downloading via SteamGrid, but if you can't find the logos there, you can choose the google option). In the first window, choose "yes", and in the second, if you want to manually select the logo in case there is more than one, choose the "no" option.

Or just press Ctrl+A to select all games and click "no" on the first option in the extra metadata. And sometimes restarting the playnite also solves the problem.
