2025-10-28 15:47:59 +0000 UTC View PostHi everyone,
New update for Playnite 10 is available. Unfortunately, P11 alpha is still not ready. I'm not happy with it enough to be released and I'm also doing some changes to built-in things being also handled as an "extension" for easier maintenance in future, which requires quite extensive refactoring.
As always, thank you very much for continued support!

Added option to assign user score in Fullscreen's game menu
Hi everyone,

Background music not restoring playback correctly after exiting a game

Possible crash when opening extensions menu in Fullscreen mode
Hi everybody,
New update for Playnite 10 is available. I originally planned to make it only to update controller input and web views dependencies, but in the end added some other stuff as well. I was kind of feeling burnt out by P11 so it was nice change of pace.
As far Playnite 11, alpha is still not ready I had to take break from it because it feels like work with no end in sight and also did some work on Playnite related project that I'll reveal some time after P11 release. I e...

This is just a small update for Playnite 10, updating emulator profiles and fixing couple small bugs.
As far as Playnite 11, I'm still working on alpha release, don't have much else to say about it, currently aiming for February.
As always, thank you for continued support! Without your support I wouldn't be able to put as much time into it as I'm doing now, thank you very much.

2025-01-28 09:48:32 +0000 UTC View PostHi everybody,
Here's my updated release plan for P11. I originally wanted to have something out by the end of this year but I don't think it's going to happen. I set new deadline to myself for end of January, to release something testable, so hopefully I can live up to that.
Here's what's going to be included in the alpha:
Desktop mode
practically all core features planned for final version P11

2024-11-28 18:12:39 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
This is just a small update updating web view component and controller input handling component.
I'm still grinding away on Playnite 11. I currently don't have anything interesting to mention other that I solved my dilemma about WPF vs Avalonia and P11 will for sure use WPF on release. TL;DR is simply that developer experience on Avalonia didn't improve very much and would be big roadblock to Playnite's theme and plugin ecosystem. I actually invested considerable a...
2024-08-13 14:05:32 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
New update for Playnite 10 is available. This is mainly to update web view dependency (should fix some login issues) and SDL library (should fix issues with some controllers since we switched to SDL in 10.30 update).
As always, thank you very much for continued support!

Updated web view library
Updated controller input and audio playback (SDL) libraries
Play time not being counted properly if syst...
2024-04-15 09:35:36 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
I have another summary of what's been happening with Playnite 11 since my last update post.
I finally decided what to do with web views that I mentioned in previous dev post. I ended up using library that mostly works fine and is multiplatform. Although that multiplatform support is currently limited to Windows and Mac, no Linux yet (there is some progress being made on ...
2024-03-20 18:07:09 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
Update: There's now hotfix 10.31 available which fixes crash on startup that can occur in some cases.
This is the update with some back ported features from P11 I mentioned in the last P11 development report. I originally intended to include more but it would sadly require breaking changes to the SDK.
Important:
This update makes Playnite no longer work on Windows 7 and Windows 8. Do not update if you want...
2023-12-13 13:22:40 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone!
This is sum up of what's been happening with Playnite 11 since my last update post.
I originally started completely separating emulation features from P11, basically making it as a completely independent emulation library plugin. Mainly because this would be most flexible way of updating and maintaining emulation support in future and it would make Playnite's core code base way less complicated (we have so many special cases and bra...
2023-11-23 19:35:40 +0000 UTC View PostHello everyone,
New Playnite 10 update is available.

Hello everyone,
this is small update mainly to add support for controlling SafeSearch settings when searching for web images and dealing with some things that were bothering me with global search.

Hello everyone!
this is another post to catch you up with Playnite 11's development.
UI framework situation
First of all, I finally decided what the new UI framework will be used in Playnite going forward. It's going to be Avalonia. There basically isn't a "perfect" framework, sadly, but this is currently the best choice for Playnite (especially with multi platform support in mind).
The ot...

Hello everyone!
This is a catchup on what I've been doing lately related to P11 and other things.
First of all, I finally finished IGDB plugin rework, something I planned to do a long time ago. I'm now using local copy of IGDB (still running on Playnite server, but the entire IGDB db is copied there) with custom search (as apposed to problematic API search IGDB provides).
This will lead to better game matching, faster metadata downloads and more accurate manual search. It al...

Hello everyone!
New P10 update is now available!
As far P11 news, I already started working on it. Nothing noteworthy for now, mostly refactoring of boring code and switching/updating dependencies. If you want to follow progress more closely, it's being worked on in net7 branch on GitHub. I will have more substantial post about it later.
As always, thank you very much for continued support!

Mostly fixing issues introduced with 10.10 update.

This update only fixes crash on startup if you have eMixedNite theme installed, no other changes.

2023-03-15 21:12:34 +0000 UTC View PostMore sizable P10 update is now available. This will be for sure the last one (maybe some small bugfix release is possible) before I fully jump onto P11 development, I swear.
As always, thank you very much for continued support!

As far as P11 development, I'm still doing changes to Playnite's backend that I mentioned in the last development update (porting to .NET 7 and reworking IGDB support). I expect to be done with it by the end of the year and then I'm starting to work on P11 properly.
Thank you very much for continued supported, I really appreciate it!

Just a small update that fixes the issue with global search sometimes closing prematurely.

Update: If you are experiencing Fullscreen mode crashes after the update, install 10.5 hotfix.
This should be the last Playnite 10 update, at least the last one with more substantial fixes. I'm now starting to work on Playnite 11. Check out my previous post if you want to know more about what's happening with P11 specifically.
As always, thank you very ...
