Can Homecoming be launched through Playnite?

[Erumid]

My PC is used as a console/media hub. I use Playnite to launch Steam, Humble Bundle, Epic, etc. and I was wondering if it's possible to add Homecoming.

You'll want to look for info on launching thru Steam Deck, which has been done I believe, since Steam can be accessed by Playnite, it may give you an option.

 

You can start with this:

one year late but better late than never.
you can just add the Homecoming launcher like any game which does not come with Steam/Epic or whatnot in to Playnite, by drag and droping the shortcut
if you play with controller and cant navigate the launcher you can add a play action which would look like this

"this is the install path of homecoming"\bin\win64\launchercli launch live -assetpath asset

this wont update the game when you launch thru Playnite though, you could add another action for updating the game but you still wont see if an update is even needed, also Playnite goes right back on top of the game so its not really worth doing it this way, thats because of the way how Playnite detects if a game is running and Playnite asumes the Launchercli.exe is the game.
if someone can make a Playnite Library plugin for the Homecoming Launcher that would solve such issues, but i doubt that would happen, Playnite is a super niche software and CoH is a bit niche it self doubt there isnt much overlap on people who play CoH, use playnite and can make a Playnite plugin.
but then there are plugins for Minecraft launchers which are even more niche
