Option to add genres to game list (when avaliable) [feature request]

[senpl]

Game list is nice. But it would be more helpful to be able to import it into playnite and get genre or even screen for games. It support ironPython scripts so it should not be hard to write.

Sounds useful! I'll look into it when I have a moment. I'm also very partial to the giant bomb API.
Also, i'll look into navigating into each product page and see if I can grab more info there.

Did a little research:
Playnite itself seems to integrate with itch, so I think it would be best for folks to use that integration to populate their library in playnite. I could pretty easily add a feature to the scraper that clicks on all of the "download" links in a bundle, which would add them all to your library. (or you can pass in a list of names instead.) From there one would use the playnite integration.

Playnite uses https://www.igdb.com/ for metatdata, which looks like a good resource to pull more from. I will start on comparing that and giant bomb to see which has better coverage.

Thanks for the inspiration!
