Add Epic Games provider #992

Closed JMcKiern closed 3 months ago

JMcKiern commented 2 years ago

This PR adds an Epic Games provider to automatically populate games installed with Epic Games. Implements part of #671

I basically just copied the code for the Steam provider so feel free to make suggestions - I'm not too familiar with modern C++.

I still need to add some metadata parser but I'm struggling with using the info in the manifest file to retrieve the metadata. I will investigate when I get some time.

Perhaps it's worth cleaning this up and merging without the metadata provider? Let me know.

Nice work! Yeah, I'm okay with a game-only initial implementation, we can add the details later. Let me know when it's ready for review.

Some notes:

You can use / for paths
You can use JSON parsing for the item files
This will probably pick up Unreal Engine and its installed plugins too, but it's OK for now

Do you plan to continue working on this? I could try to finish it.

JMcKiern commented 1 year ago

Sorry, been busy with other things. I probably won't get around to this any time soon so feel free to finish it if you'd like to.

Im realistically not going to finish this so I will close
