Sp3ci3s8472,

Sorry I don't have a Windows or Mac box to test on. Thank you for reporting. Can you please share your code with me and I'll look at including this into my plugin.

Thanks!

Well my code wouldn't do you any good I think. I looked at the following examples of a registry.vdf file.

https://github.com/darealshinji/Steam-fi...gistry.vdf
And in this video there is a example:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wabKA2sFf7U

I don't have a Mac, I did have a Linux system with Steam on it. Feeling a bit bad for installing Windows on it. I had some problems that I couldn't solve with my bluetooth controller . 

This project might give you a hint on how to (read-only) access the Windows registry? 
https://github.com/williballenthin/python-registry

The structure of the registry file is exactly the same as the registry.vdf (hence the name registry.vdf ). That file is nothing more than an exported registry of Windows which is parsed.
Example of an exported piece of it:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Valve\Steam\Apps\12810]
"Installed"=dword:00000001
"Updating"=dword:00000000
"Running"=dword:00000000

As you can see, the tree structure is almost identical. HKCU == HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

If you still need my code, ill put it on gitlab.


So for the people using Windows with this plugin:

I'm one of those Windows users, and confused by the reg_to_vdf workaround. Apologies for my ignorance, but what am I supposed to do with the exe? It doesn't seem to produce a file that I can see, am I supposed to put it somewhere and run it?

I have just submitted an update to support windows. If the user is on a windows machine, the path for the .vdf file doesn't matter.

While the pull request if pending, feel free to use my fork:

mcfarkleberg,

Thank you so much for the PR! Without a Windows machine this felt like a daunting task. Will try to release new version asap, hopefully tomorrow.

[aanderse]

Again, thanks to mcfarkleberg we have version 0.6.1 which fixes the installed games list support on windows!

Anyway to get Non steam games to show up?

[aanderse]

Currently this functionality is not implemented, though I would like to see this too. I can't give any timeline on this unfortunately.

This is a great plugin. Thanks for making it!

Is there any possibility for getting installed Steam games to show up under the new Steam "Games" menu? Or, failing that since Game library isn't implemented yet, at least get this add-on categorized as a Game add-on so it shows up in the "Games" menu?

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoy it :-) I haven't read up on the Game api yet, but I assume categorizing under that menu would be pretty trivial.

I keep hearing that Kodi will get a games library for a few years now, but it still isn't here :-( This plugin would be so much better if that were to ever happen. I could provide game descriptions, genres, etc... Some day, maybe... In the meantime I'll try to find some time to get this categorize this under Games.

Man this is sweet. I have over 2000 non steam games. Anychance you could take a crack at updating this to support non steam games?

Does the plugin store the scraped artwork locally? Or is it generated from the steam VDF file?

Just looking to customize the artwork that is shown but not sure how at the moment.

Cheers

I tried this out but I'm getting a 401 error in my kodi log file that looks something like this

Bump.  I'm getting a 501 error in my log.  I have triple checked my authentication info, and it still looks correct.  Here is a log https://pastebin.com/J0MB5LSS
