Expand "Random Game Picker" functionality by adding videos/microtrailers and add extra info

Open darklinkpower opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the solution you'd like Perhaps to be done after #405 I'm thinking of a similar approach in Steam Lab Experiment "Play Next" where it lets you see microtrailers of games. It could be great if Playnite could feltch videos directly from steam microtrailers. Microtrailers IDs can be found in the movies section using the steam API and are in webm format.

The videos listed in the API are the full lenght store videos, but that id can be used to search for the respective microtrailer:

https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/Videos_ID/microtrailer.webm For Example: https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steam/apps/2028802/microtrailer.webm

I'm also thinking that it could be a good idea to add Genre, features and tag info to the Play Next Window.

Not sure about trailers until they are fully supported by Playnite, but it would make sense to show How Long To Beat info there #1696

You linked to this same issue, I guess by mistake?

Another idea is to have the proposed section on the right customizable by themes. That way it could use custom extension controls, that way the HLTB data could be added from the extension, the videos from another one and any other thing.
