Replaces the cover image of the selected games with the Steam header image for the game. If the game is not a Steam game, the game's links will be parsed for a Steam store link to guess the game's AppID.
Setting game's covers to an internet URL may be slow to load, so enabling "Asynchronous image loading" in Playnite's settings is suggested.
I recommend first running "Tools" → "Download Metadata" with "Only download metadata for games missing them" unchecked and select only:
- Cover Image "Offical Store > IGDB"
- Links "IGDB > Offical Store"
Usually the official store already has banner sized cover images, and fetching IGDB links will ensure the games have Steam store links.
@ataberkcemunal This extension is pretty old, some minor tweaks will be needed to work on a current version of Playnite
Does the Universal Steam Metadata addon meet your needs? I think it can download the cover image from steam? I'm not completely sure, I haven't tested it.
