millgeek 2 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 While I know that the focus for GameBrowser as a plugin is to connect an MB client to a local emulator, I would like a way to add Game Platforms and games from the server side that are not necessarily emulated or playable from a client. For example, I would like to be able to add our PlayStation 3 collection to MediaBrowser. Not only would this enable MB users to catalog and show their entire collection, but would enable users to tap into the metadata scraping capabilities. There might have to be some disclaimer or visual indicator that the game is not playable from a client, or maybe would not even show up on a client but only in the server web interface. The next step beyond that would be an option to set a custom Game Platform so that users can specify alternative emulators or niche emulators that GameBrowser does not support out of the box.

Luke 37065 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 yes it's a good idea. we will probably need a new contributor to step up and help with the plugin in order to see that happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want this too and am in the process of making some changes to the plug-in enabling .disc support for Nintendo Wii U, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Would you be willing to do some testing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiquidFX 135 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I think the biggest thing is to get the plugin updated, maybe some Steam support as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerothen 89 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I think the biggest thing is to get the plugin updated, maybe some Steam support as well. Steam support would be the bee's knees. I would love if this could be taken far enough where we could connect from outside the local network to play some games in the browser. This library (http://www.gamepadjs.com) allows Xbox controllers to be used in the browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 we already support gamepads in the browser. the web based version of emby theater supports them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidFX 135 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have it setup to launch my Steam games but it requires a workaround to make it work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
