It might depend on which theme you're using. For instance, while using the LBPlex theme for Launchbox, I didn't see that feature there. But when I switched to the default theme, the play counts were there, and I didn't have to do anything to activate it. I'm not sure about BigBox, but this could also be theme-dependent as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Yeah, any new feature that actually shows in the UI will only work in the default theme unless the creator of the theme you use decides to update their theme. This is one of the downsides of using custom themes or plugins etc, you have to rely on the creator to still develop the theme when new features are added to Launchbox/Bigbox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!. You would have to manually edit the xaml of each platform and update each games PlayTime section. It is tracked in total seconds 2:48 is recorded as 168. LB does not have a way to combine a 3rd party plugins data with the metadata it pulls. <PlayTime>168</PlayTime> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I'd have to know what custom field the plugin used, but it probably wouldn't be too hard to write a plugin that moved that data the appropriate field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookiePLMonster Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) Bit of a shameless plug - I created a script to migrate Playtime Tracker times to the native LaunchBox field: Playtime Tracker shows playtime in a "Playtime" Custom Field, but it's not reliable, especially with a Free version. The source of truth for the plugin is in its own data files - located in per-game Plugins\Playtime Tracker\[gameid].txt files.
