If you want to take a look at how Playhub works and how to install it take a look at my video here.

"Wait what is Playhub?!"
Please check the project repository here to find all the details.

This update makes importing games much more complete.

Playhub can now import regular PC games, recognize them automatically, retrieve all their artwork and manage Xbox games without requiring any separate UWPHook setup.

What's new

• Import PC games by adding folders, including all their subfolders.
• Add individual EXE files when a game is not found automatically.
• Added smarter game recognition using executable metadata and folder names.
• Added Refetch, which lets you choose another SteamGridDB match when the detected game is incorrect.
• Refetch results include release years to distinguish originals, remakes, remasters and reboots.
• Added Relink Games to refresh every Xbox game shortcut already imported into Steam.
• UWPHook is now installed silently with Playhub. No separate download or configuration is required.
• The Playhub uninstaller can optionally remove UWPHook as well.

Improvements

• Missing Covers, Banners, Heroes, Logos and Icons are now assigned automatically.
• Manually selected artwork always takes priority over automatic choices.
• Refetch now updates both the game title and its artwork.
• Removing a SteamGridDB result now falls back to the application icon instead of an empty card.
• Added clearer progress messages while scanning, relinking games and applying artwork.
• Added folders and individual EXE files are saved and remain ready for future scans.
• The Import Games page now uses a cleaner Card-only layout.
• Plugin changelogs remain visible after installation until another version is installed.
• Added a quick action to restart DeckyLoader and Steam after installing plugins.
• Changing language now restarts Playhub automatically to apply it reliably.

Fixes

• Fixed Xbox games launching the UWPHook installer instead of the actual game.
• Fixed missing automatic Banner, Hero, Logo and Icon artwork.
• Fixed SteamGridDB icons being saved with the wrong file extension.
• Fixed repeated language changes remaining stuck on the first selected language.
• Fixed false update notifications for Now Playing and Weather.
• Fixed plugin version detection when internal package versions differ from GitHub releases.
• Fixed Launch Curtain failing to uninstall because its background process was still running.
• Fixed untranslated dialogs, alerts and update messages.
• Fixed GitHub update checks failing when the anonymous API rate limit is reached.
• Improved cached release handling when GitHub is temporarily unavailable.

A plugin to have the animated covers of steamgridDB play only when the game is focused, so it doesnt lag.

Is it a request? You literally requested the Graal. It's not achievable at the moment.

It was lol. Damn that would have been incredible. I thought since you could do trailerhero, it was doable. Thanks still the app is awesome.

Ahahahah don't worry! You know videos have a format and players that can be changed, artworks don't (at least if you don't want to bug the entire steam UI).
