Hello everyone!
Playnite 9 beta is now available for testing. This is one of the biggest releases in terms of under the hood changes so I highly recommend against using this version as your daily driver.
I've create dedicated wiki page related to this build, so please read it carefully before installing this beta.
I expect this beta to last a week or two and then I'll release stable version that will be exclusive to P...

As with 8.13, this version is only available as an update after you install 8.11. I can't make full installers available on the website (or GitHub) because browsers and AV software will complain that Playnite is a virus, because these builds are not signed...

Hello everyone,
I apologize for big delay since last update. There was nothing that interesting I've done since last update worth showing. I mainly worked on some background refactoring:
- Completely rewritten grouping support on Grid view. 3rd party library I was using was really buggy so I had to write custom implementation for Playnite.
- Moved some things like exclusion list and filter presets from settings files to game library.
- Additional improvements to Fullscreen mode (better mouse support, theming imp...

Custom UI elements support in SDK
There's now an official way how to add custom UI elements into views. This still requires some support from themes, but it's less prone to errors and way easier to be implemented then previously. Theme's can now also more easily reference plugin settings.

Happy holidays everyone!
I want to thank everybody for supporting this project in 2020, especially given all that's been happening this year. It's really amazing that people still find time and money to support niche projects like Playnite. Thank you very much!
Lets hope that 2021 is better and that I manage to release more major updates then in 2020.
Again, thank you very much for continued support!

General
I'm currently focusing on housekeeping and refactoring needed for theme/extensions auto-update support. This requires major changes to the code base.
This includes split of all built-in plugins (library integrations and IGDB support) into separate repository. The main advantage for end users is that I will be able to publish updates for...

Thank you for voting in Playnite 9 feature prioritization polls. You can find results bellow. I've added four top voted features to the Playnite 9 milestone and two top voted SDK features. It was a tie for library integrations, so I made executive decision to include Game Jolt instead of Bluestacks.
