Everyone here is talking about how to get the latest and best stuff, but no one is talking about how they actually manage it 😜

So, how do YOU manage your Movies / Shows / Music / eBooks / Games?


I begin:

  • Plex for Movies / Shows / Music
  • Kavita for eBooks and Manga
  • Romm for my Gamecollection and Roms (it supports PC games aswell)

I really, really want to use it instead of having a bunch of launchers for pc and emulation but it's too damn fiddly. Cant get retroachievements to work, normal achievements tab is forever empty, no way I found to have a unified control scheme, most of the plugins I tried do absolutely nothing, like the deal finding one, I could go on.

Not saying it doesn't work, obviously it does. But it doesn't for me sadly. And I can't spend a week on trying to get it to work. Two days of following guides online, did nothing for me, so I just gave up.

I think some plugins rely on having a desktop theme made to accommodate them otherwise you’d have to do the themeing yourself. Thankfully there are plenty that already exist which can be downloaded and applied from within Playnite itself but I do agree that the experience can be a bit of a mess. I really can’t live without it, though. Just completely changed the way I organize and launch games forever.

Do you happen to have a good guide I could follow? I really like the idea behind playnite and how good/useable it can look, but I get lost every time.

If not for the rest, at least for emulators/retro gaming.
