[Feature request] Support steamgriddb #688

Open Jaizu opened 2 months ago

https://www.steamgriddb.com/ is such a great place for game box art, supporting it should be a no brainer. Ideally, people would be able to choose between different banners/images from the website when settings their images.

SteamGridDB has different aspect ratio configuration.

Jaizu commented 2 months ago

Is there any issue with support 3:2 aspect ratio for boxart? there are a few different box art aspects ratios in the box art settings. I personally need steamgriddb because its, as far as I know, the only website that supports box art for hack roms, and you can even submit hack rom entries to the website. This is very useful/common for people that do/play Pokémon Hack Roms, since there is a lot of demand of android handhelds just to play those. This is an example of Beacon launcher (not saying is better or anything like that, please don't take it in a rude way, just want to show an example of an app showing support for custom hack rom artwork) showing a small collection of hack roms alonside some official games. image

I don't know much about steamgriddb scraping in a technical launcher, I'm aware that steamgridb is not enabled by default in that launcher and that you need to provide your personal api key to scrap from that, so it would be optional and user based.

I hope you consider adding it, thanks for the support.
