This is the first time I hear about Playnite. But it looks promising. Thank you.

Does it only act as aggregator for owned items across shops, just like GOG Galaxy?

Do you know if it allows title cards based on archives/folders?

If it can be done via RSS, then an *arr tool can be developed. Unfortunately I’m not a coder 😓

I tend to grab releases that seem interesting to me (then buy the full game if I like it), but rarely install all of them. I’m more interested in the organization of the .zip/.iso I have laying in a folder, knowing what I have and what I should snatch.

Yeah, I guess what I would love are separate features, that are more than likely already done by existing tools/platforms:

1. a GUI to list locally available content, with clean cards, metadata, community ratings and reviews (like it’s done on IGDB.com or HowLongToBeat.com)
2. a GUI to organise ALL content (locally available and not-locally available) it into custom lists (like it’s done on HowLongToBeat.com or Steam)
3. a GUI to browse gamelists and show availability on configured sources (stores, greystores, torrent, usenet) (like its done in Radarr/Sonarr)

Hey @TimewornTraveler, I was in your shoes a month ago. I am proud to announce I just completed my (first) setup of all *ARR tools on Synology Container Manager (Docker). I documented my progress. If you need help with setup, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

EDIT : If the community would help me sanitise my files and get a GitHub repo going, I would happily help build an all-in-one download-and-run install package. Please let me know.
