  • Playnite

  • There are also launchers like Playnite that might be useful for your use case https://github.com/JosefNemec/Playnite

  • Sunshine

    Self-hosted game stream host for Moonlight.

  • Thanks for the feedback. I went ahead and downloaded Playnite from the link you gave above. It imported all my Steam Games which was great. I'll work to have it launch emulators as well. My issue is adding it as an application to Sunshine so it shows up on the moonlight app to launch from the TV. After closing the Sunshine application and restarting it, then logging in to sunshine, I get the following error when I try to launch Playnite from the Moonlight app https://imgur.com/a/LnFyUot. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I followed the instructions from teh Sunshine github here about adding Playnite. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

  • gamestream_launchpad

    Discontinued Optimized GameStream environment for launching all of your games.

  • Hey, so I have the same exact issue launching Playnite from Moonlight when using Sunshine, it just wouldn't work. I tried an app called Gamestream Launchpad but it gives a different error.

  • AutoGame

    Automatically start your favorite game launcher at just the right moment.

  • I ended up using an app called AutoGame and choose option to launch Playnite everytime a game controller is connected (which what happened when you connect via Moonlight).
