Steam Scraper 2.7

13.18 this started getting errors on some games. I just updated to the 13.19 beta the plugin no longer shows in the contextual menu. Might be totally borked now.

Plugin now work, but 

"Arcade - Marquee"  now is "Steam Banners"

"Box Front" now is "Steam Poster"

Do not download "Steam Banners"

It's possibile to add Fanart Backgrounds ?

Thx for your work

Hmm if one tag field can hold multiple values separated with ; then yes would be better this way,@CriticalCid do you if this approach works? One down side is that will become impossible to check if tag and value exists to remove it

This is now possible. Your plugin I'm guessing from before this was possible enters the values separately and it makes everything more seperated. 

Custom files separates different values and are all entered into a single value. The filter works with each tag as intended, but I had to go manually and select each entry and delete the separate values to make it look like the one below from your plugin. 

 

Is there a possibility @srxz for your plugin to put the entries as a single value separated with a Semi colon so that I can avoid manually editing each tag.

I did not knew about the tags, I can change the code thanks for the info, this plugin has  like 7 years so it maybe not be up to date with new launchbox features

Yes, I updated them with appropriate and common places now with newer versions. Fanart backgrounds are possible but need to find a reliable place to grab it.

The first screenshot I made yesterday so the plugin definitely works as shown in the youtube video you showcased. Thanks for the great product! Its a gem with a lot of uses, especially the tagging function. @srxz

Try the new version that I just uploaded should work

 

edit: I will include a new method later in order to delete all fields names tags so it could clean up the mess

The tagging works; Thanks for this. @srxz

I did find an error which is when you use the plugin for an entry that already has a video metadata and your on that game on launchbox then it gives 

"The process cannot access the file C:/...Dead by Daylight.webm' because it is being used by another process."

If you delete the video from files or go to a different game while pasting the url this doesn't come up.

Just uploaded a better version.

 

Regarding this error I never experienced it, let me know the exactly steps to do it and I can try do reproduce

Found out that steamdb url also works with this which is cool. 

It would be great if there's an option of deleting the past tags as some people might manually enter specific tags that this might delete without knowing. But it works and deletes the multiple values from your older plugin which is a time saver for people that previously used this plugin and want it all in one entry. maybe have two different types, its up to you at the end of the day how you want this to work. 

About the error I think it has something to do with .webm files. as this doesn't happen when I do it with a file that has mp4. Its nothing major or breaking and easily circumvented. If you want to reproduce this try creating a new game of dead by daylight, use your plugin twice so it has a video and have make sure that the game is selected in launchbox while the video is playing.

Thank you for this awesome plugin. I have found an error that I'm hoping you are able to address. Whenever I try to update a game that has a release date in the month of December I get the following error.
