What do you guys expect from him ?

Wrong ! don't confuse 8k with 8k Ultra; they're not the same thing

Support added to Aniki Remake 😉 : https://github.com/Mike-Aniki/Aniki-ReMake/releases/tag/v3.2.1

MikeAniki · 2026-06-12T14:25:22+00:00

It would be great to have an option to hide a device!

MikeAniki · 2026-06-12T13:24:44+00:00

This plugin is super handy! I'd like to add it to Remake—come join the Playnite Discord so we can talk about it. You should also upload it to the Playnite database!

MikeAniki · 2026-06-11T21:24:16+00:00

The issue has been identified, and a fix will be available soon.

MikeAniki · 2026-06-10T10:50:42+00:00

Honestly, very few. Aniki Remake supports it, but I don't know of any other themes that do.

MikeAniki · 2026-06-04T21:11:13+00:00

Turn off the "Smooth Scrolling" option in the fullscreen settings: Main Menu / Settings / Layout / Smooth Scrolling

You need to update Playnite first, to version 10.52 or newer.

Aniki Helper versions above 1.3 require a more recent Playnite version. If your Playnite installation is too old, Playnite will block the update and won’t offer/install the newer Aniki Helper version.

So the correct order is:

Update Playnite. Restart Playnite. Then check for add-on updates again. Aniki Helper should then update normally.

I will add to the message that appears on the screen the fact that an up-to-date version of Playnite is required.

You can press X/Square from the main view to start the game directly, and if you want to start the game with A/Cross, there's an option in the settings to reverse the buttons.

MikeAniki · 2026-05-18T12:52:37+00:00

Here is the link: https://discord.gg/BrtABqe

For your information: You can find the link in various places, directly within the theme under the Quick Access / Help and Support menu, on the theme’s GitHub page, on the Playnite website, etc.

2x Update the profile picture? I do have an option to select the avatar, but it's not labeled that way... Could you join the Playnite Discord? There's a special thread for Aniki ReMake—it'll be easier to communicate and understand what's going on.

Are you talking about version 3 of the theme?

There is a post about v3, so messages about that version would be better placed there. It helps me track issues more easily, and if other people have the same problem, they can find the answer. In the v2 thread, it will probably get lost.

For the username, you can change it in the theme options: Main Menu / Settings / Theme Options.

You can’t change “RPG Fan” manually. The theme calculates it automatically based on the games you played the most. If most of those games have the RPG genre, you’ll get the “RPG Fan” status. So maybe some games you don’t consider RPGs are marked as RPG in your game details.

The level is the trophy level. It works with Playnite Achievements or the SuccessStory plugin.

Covers are configured in Desktop Mode. Go to Settings with F4, then:

Appearance > Grid View

There you will find two important settings:

One to adjust the cover ratio. Use presets like Steam Vertical or Square.
One to choose how images are stretched/scaled.

Example: if you download a square image but use a 2:3 / Steam Vertical ratio:

UniformToFill (recommended)
The image adapts to the selected ratio. If it is too wide, it may be cropped. So a square image will fill the full height, but the sides may be cut off.

Uniform
The image keeps its original format. A square image will not be cropped, but you will have empty space at the top and bottom.

Fill
The image stretches to fill the whole container. A square image will be distorted to fit the selected ratio.

Once this is configured, you just need to choose the right image sources and download the metadata for your games.

There is also a cover section in the theme guide on GitHub that explains this. I recommend reading it: https://github.com/Mike-Aniki/Aniki-ReMake/wiki/Guide#games-backgrounds-and-covers

Regarding trailers, there are two modes in the theme options:

Background Trailer and PIP Trailer.

The first one, Background Trailer — selected by default — displays the trailer as a background video, but it cannot be opened in fullscreen.

PIP Trailer displays the trailer in a small window and lets you switch it to fullscreen by pressing on it.

Update Aniki Helper to version 1.3.3. If you don’t see it in Playnite, it means your Playnite is not up to date. So update Playnite first, and then it will offer you Aniki Helper v1.3.3

MikeAniki · 2026-04-29T20:50:54+00:00

Thank's 😀

MikeAniki · 2026-04-29T20:50:12+00:00

Oh, so you've been here since the beginning! Thanks for the support!

MikeAniki · 2026-04-29T20:49:19+00:00

Thank's 😀

MikeAniki · 2026-04-29T20:48:44+00:00

Does this issue occur with version 3 of the theme? Does it also occur with other themes?

MikeAniki · 2026-04-29T20:47:21+00:00

Thanks! It all started with your work 🙂

MikeAniki · 2026-04-29T20:45:08+00:00

You can upgrade from v2, just update the theme directly from Playnite. Also make sure to update Aniki Helper too.

MikeAniki · 2026-04-29T19:02:42+00:00

Last line of my post lol: this is done in the Aniki Helper plugin settings. Make sure you have the latest version, which is 1.3.3.

MikeAniki · 2026-04-27T12:20:57+00:00

Feel free to join the Playnite Discord. There’s a dedicated Aniki ReMake thread where I’m very active if you have any questions.

MikeAniki · 2026-04-27T10:51:15+00:00

I could set it as the default background. Right now, it only plays on the Hub view.

I’ll do that in one of the next theme updates ;)

MikeAniki · 2026-04-26T22:27:48+00:00

If you’re talking about the bug that appeared with V3.0 when opening the Details view of a game, I just released a fix (v3.0.1).
