Finally I got it. The cover of the Xbox games currently playing on the Dashboard

Well, after a lot of sweat, frustration, work and learning a lot along the way, I finally have the cover of the Xbox game I am currently playing on my Dashboard. It has been complicated for me since I have been using Home Assistant for a few months but I finally have a first working version. I still want to improve it but I feel satisfied with the work done.

All it’s done with a few sensors, some api calls, an automation and a custom button card. Maybe I will do a step by step in the future with the final version.

This is great! I’ve been struggling with getting the current game and mapping it to a cover, any chance you could share the details on what your card is doing?

Hi, is a little hard to explain mostly because are a lot of step but basically I used the current Xbox live integration sensors (one is disable by default). One of them show that if you are in a game and the other the name of the game. I take the name and search with the API of http://mobygames.com/. With the api I get the id of the game and them with the id and the same api I get the cover and console. All of this with a bunch of sensors and an automation. The card are two custom button cards. I’m trying to improve it every day

This looks really good, any plans on releasing the code for us to replicate?

Great job! :smiley:

The Xbox was the only one of the current three major consoles without a way to get the cover of the current game into HA. I’m trying to replicate what you did, and I managed to get it working, but I’ve found that some of the names reported by the Xbox integration don’t match directly with those in the MobyGames API.

For example, “Burnout™ Paradise Remastered” as reported by the Xbox integration, isn’t found through the MobyGames API. However, if I search for “Burnout: Paradise - Remastered” I can find the game. A similar issue occurred with “Red Dead Redemption 2” which is listed as “Red Dead Redemption II” on MobyGames.

So far, I’ve been getting around this by adding text replacements as I encounter these odd cases. I was wondering if you faced the same issue and if you approached it differently.

6

Hi, yes I found same problems. I use text replacement for some cases too, removing special characters but not always works. For the cases no cover is found I show the Xbox logo. No much we can do, the api is limited but is better than nothing :smiling_face:

7

Yeah, I couldn’t find anything that worked 100% of the time. So, I took a different approach and ditched the MobyGames API altogether. Instead, I created a Python script to scrape www.xbox.com to get all US releases and their cover art URLs, and then dumped that into a CSV file. Since it’s the same source as the integration, I figure it will have a higher match rate than the MobyGames API, and the images are high quality too.

I’m sure it can be done on demand, but the site is mostly JavaScript, and I couldn’t figure out the API calls, so browser scraping did the trick.

Then I use the CSV file as a lookup table in the automation to get the cover URL.

I’ll leave it here in case anyone wants to follow a similar approach: GitHub - paulorichards/xbox-game-scraper. It takes about a minute or so to run and pulls in around 3000 games.

Nice, I suppose you need to run the program from time to time to get new releases.

I a lot to ask that you share the automation or at least the part that deals with the csv?

Thanks in advance

Yes, you are correct.

I did the automation in Node-RED. I’m not sure if it can be done directly in Home Assistant. Perhaps with a REST sensor and some templating logic, but I haven’t tried that yet.

After running the script, I place the CSV file in the ‘www’ folder within Home Assistant and then access it from there using an HTTP Request node in Node-RED.

Here is the flow:

Thank you for sharing. I think it’s time to learn node red :sweat_smile:

11

Sorry to bother you, I created the csv with your python program and upload the file to my www forder. Afther thay I installed node red and added your flow but I get an error, do you have any idea what it could be? Thanks in advance

My guess is that the HTTP Request to download the CSV is failing due to an incorrect URL. Double-check that it’s accurate. I’ve configured an environment variable with the Home Assistant host. Make sure to replace that with your own value.

Also, you can add debug nodes to the output of the “Get CSV” node to get more detailed information about what’s going wrong.

I have finally been able to implement your method but like mine it has problems with some games (Mafia I: Definitive edition, the one I,m currently playing). If can’t find itshows the cover of the last game played. I have to see how to show a generic image when you can’t find the game since now on my dashboard it shows the name of the current game and the cover of the previous one if can’t find it. I have to see which of the two methods is more accurate.

I also found a few mismatches. So, I’ve updated the Node-RED flow to query MobyGames if there’s no match in the Xbox.com data.

This worked well for me with “DOOM Eternal,” which wasn’t found in the Xbox.com extract (it has two entries: “DOOM Eternal Standard Edition” and “DOOM Eternal Deluxe Edition,” but no plain “DOOM Eternal” as it is reported from the Xbox integration). However, MobyGames did have a match.

Unfortunately, “Mafia I: Definitive Edition” isn’t found in either source.

I’ve added a connection point in the flow for cases where there’s no match. You can use this to update the state in Home Assistant to set a generic image if you like.

I’ve also included some manually injected values for testing different scenarios, along with an MBG_API_KEY environment variable for setting up your API key. I’ll keep working on improving it to handle more edge cases.

Here is the updated flow in case you want to try it.
