playnitevndb's Issues

Can't configure or select VNDB as a metadata source.

Extension enabled and installed as instructed, but playnite isn't detecting it as a metadata source.

IGDB is the only source under Metadata Sources in the settings.

I'm using the latest version of Playnite (6.4).

Not getting any explicit or sugestive images

For some reason, the search is not getting any explicit or sugestive content for screenshots or covers.
Don't know if it is a new bug or somenthing changed. It was working as usual last week.

And thanks for this amazing add-on!

Option to Keep Original Title instead of Translated Title

Hi, me again.

I was wondering if it was possible to have an option where the user can choose to keep the Original Title (VNDB) and/or Native Title (User Already Defined), or simply disable NAME importing during the download process.

As of right now, even though in Playnite's Metadata Setting, nothing is indicating to be importing NAME, during VNDB metadata DL, it still chooses to overwrite my Native Title every time, and I'd have to click off the NAME check mark every time to prevent it.

This feature would be helpful for:

Untranslated VNs - in which case the VNDB translated titles means little
VNs translated in Non-english.

Thanks again~

Implement Bulk Metadata download

Playnite has the ability to download Metadata for all games in the library.

The Plugin should support this.

The issues to solve:

The VNDB API has rate limits for the usage, those need to be handled
To avoid running into the rate limits, there'll need to be a strategy to avoid doing unnecessary calls against the API, or the bulk import will take too long for bigger libraries)

Unable to get meta data

As the title said, there's no result in this plugin

Implement L10n

Users might prefer to use PlayniteVndb in another language.

Move Strings into localization files
Setup Crowdin, so users can modify the localization

Option to Search Background Image through Google instead of VNDB during DL process

Thank you for the amazing work - it helped me immensely in keeping my VN collection nice and neat.

I was wondering if it was possible to search BG Img through Google like how it is already possible in Playnite Metadata Editing during the download process.

As convenient it is to scrape images straight from VNDB, many VNs on there are still missing screenshots. Not to mention they are most likely in-game screens, thus inherently wouldn't be the best quality as a Playnite BG Img - as they are blown out in Details View and anything less than 720P is going to be quite an eyesore.

As such, I find myself always just cancel the VNDB screens selection and search through google anyways afterwards.

If there was a option to enable that feature during the DL process, it'd save users like me (OCD) quite a bit of time, not having to do a separate search for every VN.

Thanks again, and hope you're doing well.

Provide option for creation of tags based on estimated playtime

VNDB offers a playtime estimate based on user voting.

The Addon could provide an option to create tags based on that field.

Options:

enable/disable
~~configurable time intervall (5h = Tags 0h-5h, 6h-10h, 11h-15h ...)~~ Not possible due to API limitations
Playtime categorized by -> Very Short, Short, Medium, Long, Very Long
~~configurable prefix~~ Configurable tag names

Extension can't be installed in Playnite 8

Playnite 8 requires an Id property in extension manifests or will refuse to install

[Bug] Description showing as a single line, ignoring spaces betwen lines

As seen here, no spaces are being put between lines.

How it looks in the VNDB page:

A <br><br> should be used at each empty line to solve this, for example:

"This is the story of the 'future' that could not be saved." 
<br><br>
December, 2010 - Beta Worldline: The protagonist, <a href="https://vndb.org/c6498">Okabe Rintarou</a>, at the end of suffering through countless hardships and sorrows, has abandoned all efforts in saving "her." Okabe sinks into the depths of despair, and his friends grow concerned for his well-being. 
<br><br>
But what of "she" who could not be saved? 
Learn of her through the tale of "Zero," where new characters and encounters converge.
<br><br>
Yes... "she" is still there...
<br><br>
-----
<br><br>
After a journey of worldlines untold, Okabe returns to the act of daily life, attempting to discard his previous life in favor of his studies, albeit he remains crushed by grief and misery for his inability to save "her." 
<br><br>
Visiting a college seminar, he comes across Professor [url=https://vndb.org/c43790]Alexis Leskinen[/url] and his assistant [url=https://vndb.org/c38152]Hiyajo Maho[/url], who were both on the same team and school as "her."  There, he discovers "Amadeus," an incomplete system capable of digitally storing human memories. Okabe is invited to test out the program, as it contains none other than... "her" memories. Little did he know that the system known as "Amadeus" would once again draw him into a world of conspiracies most dark. 
<br><br>
-----
<br><br>
It uniquely adapts the Epigraph Trilogy of novels and other content from drama CDs. 
<br><br>
[Translated from [url=http://steinsgate0.jp/]official website[/url]]

And it will display the same as in VNDB (Except for URLs in issue #1)

[Bug] URLs in description are not properly formatted

As seen here:

Links are being saved with this format:
[url=https://vndb.org/c6498]Okabe Rintarou[/url]

When they should be saved as:
<a href="https://vndb.org/c6498">Okabe Rintarou</a>

Use VndbSharp Nuget Package

We finally added a Nuget Package for VndbSharp.

It (currently) doesn't have user authentication added, but since this PlayNite extension doesn't manage anything to do with Vndb User Accounts, that is a non-issue.

It was added thanks to @micah686 in Nikey646/VndbSharp#64

The Nuget package is here

Extensions fails to load in the latest version of Playnite.

Playnite Version: 9.6
Extension Version: 1.2

Please help me if I have done anything wrong with the settings.

Implement window to view data of Visual Novels

Add support to open a window for a game that opens a window to display data available on VNDB, including tags, relations, characters with their information, screenshots, etc. in as similar fashion to what VnManager does.

Some screenshots of that software to see what I mean:

Option to add a prefix to tags to order and identify them on import

With the purpose of making easier to order and identify the type of imported tags. Examples:

Content:

Male Protagonist -> Content: Male Protagonist
Murder Mystery -> Content: Murder Mystery

Technical:

No Sexual Content -> Technical: No Sexual Content
ADV -> Technical: ADV

Sexual Content:

No Sexual Content -> Sexual Content: No Sexual Content

If implemented, that function should be optional and the prefix could be configurable per type of tag, since some might prefer Content_TagName over Content: TagName, etc.

Search with link or code

Would it be possible to make it so we can search for the VN using the direct URL or the VN code e.g. "v18131","18131"?

Can't select a specific VN if the title is shared

From https://playnite.link/forum/thread-24-post-1348.html#pid1348 :

I found an issue when importing a VN which has a title that's shared with others, the plugin will always import the one which has the older VNDB ID number. It should be easy to replicate with Edelweiss, as there are three visual novels with that title:

Error in search while downloading metadata

When trying to download metadata for the game "寝取られた！" (VNDB link), the plugin is unable to find the correct match. Multiple results are returned, but none of them are the game in question.

When using the vndb id directly in the search field, i.e. id:v21025, the correct result is returned.

[Bug] Tags not being downloaded when the minimum score is set at 3.0

Tags are not being downloaded when the minimum score is set at 3.0 and there are tags present with that score for the game you are trying to download the metadata. It just adds an "UKNOWN TAG" tag.

Setting the score to 2.9 properly downloads tags with a 2.9 and 3.0 score.
