Add GiantBomb for Metadata source #255

Closed ArtexJay closed 4 years ago

ArtexJay commented 7 years ago

Giantbomb is similar to IGDB, it holds over 5000 games, more being added with every game release. I managed to find many games that IGDB did not have any summary of or simply did not exist in it's database. Please consider adding it to the metadata scraping.

I feel that GiantBomb is more complete in terms of information and pictures of video games than IGDB.

I found the api documentation for GiantBomb

Support for custom metadata providers was added in Playnite 6. You should be able to create custom plugin for this now, without any addition support from Playnite required.

Closing based on my previous comment, can be done as a 3rd party extension. I can't reasonably provide built-in support for IGDB and GiantBomb, I don't have resources for that.
