Pc games in xbmc with fanart, thumbs just like movies
#1
Hello,

I have been an XBMC user for 1 year and I love it....Recently I wanted to add my games to XBMC to have the same set up as my movies/music/tvshows DO. I am on Windows 7, Transparency 2.11, Camelot build. I have come across the launcher plugin which is good BUT I only get thumbs and unable to have fanart backdrops Plus I have a couple clicks before I go to my games (ie games/programplugin/launcher/actualgame. I want the same look and set up as the movies/tv shows/music. Does this exist or something similar OR at least be able to get fanart in the Launcher plugin for each game? if so is there a thread with a step by step I have searched for hours and hours so this is my last hope.

Thanks in advance for reading and advising

Something like that does not exist right now. There is no Games Library that is complete. There is interest in it however, with numerous people starting development on it over the last few years but nothing really has come out of it yet.

Here is the thread if you want to track what's going on with it:

This guy on youtube posted what you are describing, he has a collection of pc games with fanart and boxart and launches the game.

I am curious how to achieve this as well, as we see in the video supposedly it can be done.

Launcher addon and a skin that supports skinning the launchers (thumb + fanart). Here.

This is really awesome! Much appreciated Smile

Would you be able to add trailers as well, similar to the movies section, like if you have a game trailer or a gameplay video?
