Get Steam Cover Images Playnite Extension

This is a fork of extension created by Blake Burkhart. Updated for Playnite 5.0.

Replaces the cover image of the selected games with the Steam header image for the game. If the game is not a Steam game, the game's links will be parsed for a Steam store link to guess the game's AppID.

Setting game's covers to an internet URL may be slow to load, so enabling "Asynchronous image loading" in Playnite's settings is suggested.

To install, extract the downloaded extension to \Playnite-install-path\Extensions\ folder. Start Playnite >> click playnite icon >> Extension >> Reload Scripts. You should see "Get Steam Header Images for Selected Games" option under Extension. If not, restart Playnite and you should see it under Extension. Select all the games that you want to update with steam banner, then click the "Get Steam Header Images for Selected Games" extension. After a while(of not responding Playnite), the images should be updated with Steam banner.
