Extension enabled and installed as instructed, but playnite isn't detecting it as a metadata source.

IGDB is the only source under Metadata Sources in the settings.

I'm using the latest version of Playnite (6.4).

Please confirm that your installation looks like this:

If this is the case and the problem persists:

Could you please (optionally, to have a clean log) delete your playnite.log file, then restart playnite and attach the log file to the issue? (playnite.log is found in your playnite directory)

I was able to fix it. Turns out Playnite is installed in both %Appdata%/Roaming AND %Appdata%/Local. My executable was loading from the Localfolder, but the extension needed to be installed in the local folder and the data in roaming, even though both of them had an extensions and extensionsdata folder.

Also, the extensions you listed in your comment for me are in the Local folder, but the ExtensionsData is in the Roaming folder. The log also showed that the extension was trying to load from the Roaming folder.

I also had a hard time finding the log until I ran across the Roaming folder, so that helped a lot too lol.
