Playtime Tracker 1.4

Awesome update. idk if this is something you want to continue working on, but another idea would be getting the "arrange by - playtime" to stack properly. like with the longest time up top and the none at the bottom, in order. that would be great.

This is really awesome! Since this is a plugin, can "Playtime" be implemented into a Startup or Pause Theme like the "Play Count" and "Last Played" fields can be? Thanks.

Incredible new adittion, many thanks!

Not having Playtime for my games is a dealbreaker, and it's exactly why im uninstalling, that and that they fail to make a somewhat decent user interface...

Im just going back to Steam

I'm glad you joined the forums just to complain about not having playtime tracking on a plugin that adds playtime tracking. Thanks for your contribution, hope you have a wonderful day.

Thank you for the plugin Grila. Nice little addition.

Yeah, that interface is great for emulation.

 

Hi, i like this plugin, so i dont know why i cant use the pscx2configurator plugin when i have this installed, anybody with the same issue?

Do we have a means to clean up the platform file outside of manually after using this?  all the custom entries it makes?

Yup, I'm having this issue as well.

 

edit: Seemed to have fixed it by downloading 1.2 and replacing the 1.3 PlaytimeTracker.dll file with the 1.2 version. Whether or not the Xceed dll prevents the bug that lead to 1.3 being created in the first place, I have no idea. But for now, both are running at the same time.

I have a request.   This adds a reset playtime button to the game menu in bigbox.  Can we get a means to disable this from showing there or just remove it all together?  Its a huge risk for someone clicking on it by accident and erasing your playtime as ive just found out.

even with disabling custom views in launchbox (which id prefer to not do anyhow)  it still shows up.  just like reset last played and reset play count arent present in bigbox - i dont think this belongs there either.

Yes, this happened to me several times and I can't find a way to remove it either.

@klepp0906 @Blazer I'm working on it now and will hopefully have an update soon. I have to do some more testing before I upload it. Thanks.

OK, all set. Download version 1.4 and you should be good to go.

Nice work, but now I got this when starting Launchbox:

Also, I have another problem. I have a windows game I used to play and accidently reset the playtime. So I opened the textfile and manually set the time. It showed up in Bigbox fine. But now it won't record any more time. I also deleted that textfile but BigBox still shows the old recorded time. I also set the time in Launchbox wit the editor but it still won't add any more time. Other games seems to work fine. Any ideas?

Sorry for bringing this up again over a year later but, is there any way of fixing the "arrange by" playtime issue in base launchbox5? First it puts none, then it doesn't put the highest first, its using numerical values but not determining whether its hours minutes or seconds. It would be cool if we put arrange by playtime and had the highest first and going down in order, maybe without the separations for each individual game… just an idea. If that is even possible.

Hello! How do I remove this, have had it for a couple of years but don't need it now as Launchbox has it officially. I've removed the .dll and all files in the plugins folder but it's still showing up at the bottom of the arrange by menu as well as in games details. Any help would be appreciated and thanks for this cool plugin while it was needed!

Pretty sure the plugin used and added a custom field to keep track of the data, you would need to use bulk edit to remove that field from all games.

Hi!

There is not a way to unify both time tracker now?.I dont want to loose all that I have in all my games, because with the new launchbox system is starting from the begining in every game.

 

Thanks!.
