[Extra Metadata Loader] Add menu item to download video(s) from games created by itch.io library

[joyrider3774]

Extension name

Extra Metadata Loader

Feature Description

should work for most store page on itch.io the approach with:

1. get itch.io game page url from links section of the game (itch.io library normally adds these)
2. download the html from that page
3. get position of <div class="right_col column"> in html (+ get child <div class="video_embed">) (added by CanRanBan not sure)
4. get youtube video ID with regex match

(?:youtu(?:\.be|be\.com)\/embed\/)((?:[a-zA-Z\d]|-|_){11})

5. make sure found match position in html is greater than position found in point 3
6. use the youtube id to pass it your youtube download function to download the video from youtube for game

notes from CanRanBan But I think you should add to only look inside the <div class="video_embed">. If my looking at 3 different store pages is sufficient enough you always have one

and one <div class="screenshot_list"> as child elements. sometimes the video one is empty.

I don't do the child elements stuff on my hacked together extension because it would exclude videos in the main page

example Powershell code of what i do in my hacked to together script

function Get-ItchIoYoutubeLink
{
    param(
        $scriptGameMenuItemActionArgs
    )
	Set-MandatorySettings
    $gameDatabase = $PlayniteApi.MainView.SelectedGames
    $videoSetCount = 0

    foreach ($game in $gameDatabase)
    {
		if($game.Links)
		{
			foreach ($link in $game.Links)
			{
				
				if ($link.Url -like "*itch.io*")
				{
					$matches = $null
					try
					{
						$webContent = Get-DownloadString $link.Url
					}
					catch
					{
						$webContent = ""
					}
					$webContentLower = $webContent.ToLower()
					$index = $webContentLower.LastIndexOf('class="right_col column"')					
					if ($index -gt 0)
					{
						$webContent -match 'youtu(.*?\/embed\/)(.*?)"' | Out-Null
						if ($matches)
						{
							$index2 = $webContentLower.LastIndexOf($matches[0].ToLower())
							if($index2 -gt $index)
							{
								Set-YouTubeVideoManual $matches[2] $false $game
								break
							}
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
	
	$PlayniteApi.Dialogs.ShowMessage("Finished", "Extra Metadata tools")
}

In a lot of cases if the page has a video it will usually download the trailer from youtube

here is another variation of the script (i'm now) using

it tries to take the 1st youtube video it finds after the text class="right_col column" using this way it had found some extra video's

function Get-ItchIoYoutubeLink
{
    param(
        $scriptGameMenuItemActionArgs
    )
	Set-MandatorySettings
    $gameDatabase = $PlayniteApi.MainView.SelectedGames
    $videoSetCount = 0

    foreach ($game in $gameDatabase)
    {
		if($game.Links)
		{
			foreach ($link in $game.Links)
			{
				
				if ($link.Url -like "*itch.io*")
				{
					$matches = $null
					try
					{
						$webContent = Get-DownloadString $link.Url
					}
					catch
					{
						$webContent = ""
					}
					$webContentLower = $webContent.ToLower()
					$index = $webContentLower.LastIndexOf('class="right_col column"')					
					if ($index -gt 0)
					{
						$m = Select-String -InputObject $webContent -Pattern '(?:youtu(?:\.be|be\.com)\/embed\/)((?:[a-zA-Z\d]|-|_){11})' -AllMatches 
						foreach ($match in $m.Matches)
						{
							if($match.Index -gt $index)
							{
								Set-YouTubeVideoManual $Match.Groups[1] $false $game
								break
							}
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
	
	$PlayniteApi.Dialogs.ShowMessage("Finished", "Extra Metadata tools")
