S3v3nD34dly51ns 0 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I know this is a recurring topic on this forum, but I've been at this for days, been through all of the forum topics here as well as Googled everywhere else and still just not able to get the Gamebrowser plugin to function correctly. My main storage drive on my server is J:\ and my games are located in J:\Games. My Emulators are installed on my client PC on D:\ Emulators. I have rescanned my libraries as well as changed the xml between <gamesystem> and </game system> to read the full path (instead of SegaGenesis, it's Sega Genesis) and still no resolve. It's still not get the 'Play' button to show up on any console or game that I add to my server. On top of that no metadata is being pulled through either GDB or Emumovies, I have seen that GDB has changed their web heading so that's what's causing much of the ruckus, but that shouldn't affect the fact that it's not giving me an option to play should it? Have been scratching my head for the past couple days wondering what it is I'm missing. Edited January 7, 2019 by S3v3nD34dly51ns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14912 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I don't think a browser is ever going to be able to launch these (security reasons). Have you tried in Theater Desktop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37062 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Theater Desktop is what he's got there in his first screenshot. What version of Emby Server is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37062 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Ok, there a lot of improvements with the upcoming new release. Please try that once available. You will need to remove and re-setup your external players. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S3v3nD34dly51ns 0 Posted January 15, 2019 Author Share Posted January 15, 2019 so got the new player 4.0.0.2 update, I removed and tried to re setup the external players but now getting something a little bizarre, now it's not giving a relevent gaming system to choose, instead when I click the drop down arrow it just goes to a blue screen that says 'Game System:". I've uninstalled Emby Theater (Win 10) and reinstalled and keeps replicating the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37062 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Make sure you've updated the plugin on the server and gone through a full library scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazybbs 24 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Hi @@Luke the api is broken and doesn't give any windows games list I know you changed GameSystem name from Windows to PC and I modified everything in my plugin. However the plug in is not able to populate windows game list because querying API now return 0 items I checked the gamebrowser sourcecode and saw that you commented line with the condition to look for "Windows" that I would've just modified to "PC" but all the line is commented public object Get(GetWindowsGames request) { _logger.Debug("GetWindowsGames request received"); var windowsGames = _libraryManager.GetItemList(new InternalItemsQuery { IncludeItemTypes = new[] { typeof(Game).Name }, OrderBy = new[] { new ValueTuple<string, SortOrder>(ItemSortBy.SortName, SortOrder.Ascending) } }) //.Where(i => i is Game && !string.IsNullOrEmpty(((Game)i).GameSystem) && ((Game)i).GameSystem.Equals("Windows")) .ToList(); Could you plz help me on this?

Luke 37062 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Why can't you just use the external player setup that we have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybbs 24 Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Because windows game need a game title based configuration and the current external player setup is only gamesystem based. My plug in is just the external player plug in modified to support windows game. with this setup i was able to lauch any windows game and even youtube and other program so it's really important to me to get gamebrowser windows game list api fixed. Can you help me plz plz plz Edited January 19, 2019 by crazybbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazybbs 24 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) I fixed temporarily my problem compiling gamebrowser Plug in with your current query to the database. It's returning all the games so I got thousands of games but I can still select the correct game. My plug is back working for now and I can live with that for a few times. I know you don't want to put too much effort in games support but if you can just point me to a wiki to know how the queries work on your new librarymanager classes, i could fix it Permanently. We're not the main focus of Emby but we're still a lot of "paid" users who like game support and it would be really appreciate if we can have some little help.

crazybbs 24 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 @@Luke I took time to do some reverse engineering digging in the methods and found solution so I pulled a request on github to update gamebrowser. I'm not sure if it's the best way but I didn't find a direct method to query database by GameSystem. It's now fully working and it would be nice if you could update it on catalog so everyone using my plug in can use it again. Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
