[Feature] Ability to filter games that don't have metadata/covers

Open Casuallynoted opened this issue 10 months ago • 3 comments

I think it might be useful if admins could have the ability to filter the library down by games that are unmatched and/or don't have cover art. This way, if someone wants to go through and maybe contribute metadata to IGDB/Moby/etc based on the games that don't have matches they can, and they can also fix up matches that maybe didn't get made automatically even easier. This would be especially useful for large libraries.

You can already filter by unmatched games

Oh shoot, I missed that option. Thank you for letting me know! Unfortunately, I don’t see an option for games that were matched but are missing cover art (I also don’t believe there’s a scanner option to attempt to pull the cover art for matches games that don’t have it downloaded, in case art has been added since they were matched)

I'd have to see what the other devs say, they might be willing to add a filter just for that. I am not sure how many specific filters they want to add to not clutter the UI. That is just my opinion, nothing concrete.

You can always scan by partial metadata match (which I think would classify for missing cover), we have added ScreenScraper in the newest build which should pull more metadata and possibly help find those missing covers if Mobygames, IGDB don't have them.

Also remember steamgridDB is great for those missing covers, I have had to add some manually myself.

After thinking about it a bit we're not going to add a filter for missing cover art. With 4.0 around the corner adding SGDB to the scanning, cover art should be picked up much more often.
