Lutris Cover Art Downloader

This is an EXTREMELY DIRTY script to download cover art for Lutris games. It first started as a personal project, but I'm putting it here in case anyone else wants to use it.

It comes from a long time bug in Lutris. The source used to get cover arts is... unreliable. It's not a big deal, but it's annoying. So I wrote this script to download the cover arts from SteamGridDB.

Usage

  1. Clone the repository

  2. Install the dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Run the script
python3 main.py

You need a SteamGridDB API key. You can get one here.

Screenshots

Your library will go from this:

No covers

To this:

Covers downloaded

In a matter of seconds.

How it works and warnings

When I said the script dirty, it IS dirty. Obvisouly this won't get you any malware, but since I'm not that much into Python, I did what I could. What the script does is that it fetches the list of games from Lutris at /home/$USER/.cache/lutris, then it fetches the first cover art from SteamGridDB. It then saves the cover art in the Lutris cache folder.

Planned features

  • ❕ Argument support (--banner, --cover, --help)
  • ❕ Add a simple GUI with console output
  • ❕ Add a way to select the cover art you want via the GUI
  • Split in multiple files
  • Better code
  • Encode API Key in file
  • A better README?

Credits

  • Big thanks to the Lutris team!
  • Big thanks to SteamGridDB for their API and their resources!
  • Obvious thanks to StackOverflow!
