Suggestion: Integrate HowLongToBeat extension data into game descriptions

[spladder]

I saw a comment on the playnite thread about this and I thought it was a really good idea so I thought I'd suggest it here too to try and make sure someone saw it. Here's the example of how it would be nice for it to look:

That's a super nice idea. thank you <3

However it seems like they don't provide a known API, so scraping or IGDB it is.

Here's a example HAR:

Update:

The HowLongToBeat plugin has added integration support for custom themes, this should be much easier now

[Bluscream]

Thanks

[Deytron]

Done, integrated a simple progress bar, feedbacks would be appreciated

[spladder]

How can I see the new progress bar to give feedback?

[Deytron]

Update the theme to the latest version, install SucessStory, and enable "interagration with custom themes" in Settings > Extensions

[spladder]

Thanks! I figured it out.

So, my thoughts on the current bar. Could it be moved up to where the Time Played and Last Played fields are?
Something like this screenshot would probably be ideal.

[Deytron]

Unfortunately the edit buttons on the right would break if I did that. There would not be enough space to let them appear on lower resolution or high DPI screens.

[spladder]

Hm, I see. What about inside the box with all the details, like in my original suggestion? I assume that wouldn't fit either?

[Deytron]

It would, but all the infos already don't fit in the details box soooo... I don't know, I think something like in the eMixedNite theme, with everything in the HTML description box at the bottom

[GGuyX]

I like the idea but could this be optional for those that don't want it?
