PlayniteSound VS playnite-non-steam-shortcuts

Ok cheers,I updated and most extensions were broken.simply fixed by going to the new addon section in settings and updating the addons.wondered why my extra meta data videos and logos ect weren’t loading so I had to install an extra extension “ExtraMetaDataLoader” and it all seems to be loading correctly now.only extension I have that hasn’t got an update for is PlayniteSounds extension ,not sure if that is needed now though.also since updating the addons/extensions I have lost mouse control in fullscreen,probably just the PS5ish theme I have selected though to be fair.

Try the new versions https://github.com/joyrider3774/PlayniteSound/releases/latest it should fix it

released ! if you have any problems revert to previous version https://github.com/joyrider3774/PlayniteSound/releases

2) Import both non-steam shortcuts and Steam games to Playnite (I seem to remember there being a plugin doing something similar: https://github.com/bburky/playnite-non-steam-shortcuts );

Yesterday I was struggling on how to make emulated games (which are directly started from Playnite from the get-go) to have Steam's overlay enabled, and also to be actually shown in the friends list. But I've learned you can install and use this extension for that to be possible.

Ok, if you are somewhat technical and you want to help me figuring this out, I have a lead. Apparently you need to create a 64bit integer out of a crc32 checksum (derived from the name of the executable) and a fixed sequence afterwards. I found this out by looking at the source code of this playnite extension. Look for the "steam_URL" function, it's explained there. I tried to create it but it didn't work, however the extension seems to use a custom Crc class to create the checksums, and I just made it with the builtin python one (from the binascii module). So that's where we gotta look. Take a look at the "shortcuts.vdf" file found in ~/.steam/steam/userdata//config, there you can see all you custom added games and that's the file the extension looks to gather its data. From this, it's a matter of time to figure out how it works exactly, sadly the code ain't very unit-testing friendly so I can't quite extract pieces without some modifications to make it work, but hey, we're getting there. Once we figure out how to produce the integer, it's as easy as running steam steam://rungameid/<64bit integer>.
