Default generic game cover when manually adding a new game #204

Closed neuromancer closed 5 years ago

neuromancer commented 5 years ago

When a user adds a new game manually, GameHub uses a gray background:

new

It could be nice to have a default generic game cover instead. Even one with the GameHub logo is better than the gray background. Another interesting option is to try fetch a game cover / image using IGDB.

Default game icon is added.

I have tried IGDB API and unfortunately their covers are inconsistent. I don't think it's worth implementing now.

neuromancer commented 5 years ago

It works!. Thanks for giving the IGDB API a shot.

neuromancer commented 5 years ago

Oh, you implemented IGDB. Is it their API working better now?

tkashkin commented 5 years ago

@neuromancer IGDB images are inconsistent and GameHub uses IGDB only for metadata.

GameHub uses https://steamgriddb.com and https://steam.cryotank.net to download images.
