Failed to download metadata (IGDB) #2088

Closed chidniu closed 3 years ago

chidniu commented 3 years ago

When trying to download the IGDB Metadata for "Ghostrunner" I get the error "Failed to download metadata: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". Other games seem to work fine.

I am using Playnite 8.5 on Windows 10 2004.

It's an issue with IGDB's data, they have invalid screenshot assigned to that game. I've submitted change to their db, it will start working once it's accepted.

I'll add some fail safe to Playnite to handle this case gracefully.

Fixed in 8.6

This happens again in 8.11, in my case on the game Valorant.

Edit: I have read that the issue is on IGDB, I'll look into this there. Edit2: How do I get Logs from Playnite?

Yes, it's the same issue, the game has some invalid screenshot assigned to it (if you edit the game on IGDB, you can see screenshot with no image). I don't why my workaround for this scenario doesn't work, but it's definitely caused by invalid data on IGDB's side.
