Your-Steam-Library-Infomercial

Rediscover your Steam Library!

PURPOSE

Do you have a problem of owning too many games, and don't know what's in your massive library?

Do you remember purchasing a good game based on the video or pictures, but now forget what it was?

This is where this script comes in. It helps you re-discover your library with minimal effort!

It provides Steam Users with an Infomercial or demo-mode to help them explore their Steam Library.

Watch the infomercial-like presentation as you drift off to sleep, or when you're bored, or take control by stepping forward or backwards through the library!

USAGE

1. Download Your Steam Library Infomercial.ps1
2. Run the script on your computer (To temporarly bypass Set-ExecutionPolicy errors run: Powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File '.\Your Steam Library Infomercial.ps1').
3. Visit the home page (Default is http://localhost:8080 )
4. Plug in a valid Steam profile URL
5. Click search, and it will generate a randomized playlist of games.
6. Press F11 in your browser, sit back and enjoy!
7. Use on-screen buttons to navigate. See: INTERACTIONS

OPTIONAL

View/set user variables on line 145 - 169 for fine tuning before running.

PROBLEMS

For general problems:

• Close your instance of Powershell to purge all variables, and retry again with the original script.

• Capture a log, or any unhandled errors, and paste them to github.

If videos don't seem to be playing, it may be due to the browser settings preventing autoplay:

• Firefox : Follow this https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay

• Try using MS Edge.

If you don't quit the script gracefully, you might leave a web port open, and might need to manually run "StopServer" in the terminal to terminate it.

This is a single-user web application.

Technically more than one person can use it at a time, but due to the game data being stored locally it can have unintended effects if more than one user uses it (such as seeing games that aren't in your library).
