Game Libraries

OmniLux can catalog game files as part of your library so they appear alongside your other media with artwork and metadata.

Add a games library

1. Add a library root that points at your games directory.
2. Set the media type to Games.
3. Run a scan from Settings > Library.

Typical layout:

/data/games/
  snes/
    Super Mario World.sfc
  n64/
    Super Mario 64.z64
  psx/
    Final Fantasy VII.bin
    Final Fantasy VII.cue

Metadata and organization

During scans, OmniLux can match game titles against metadata providers so your library has:

• Box art and cover images
• Descriptions and release dates
• Platform and genre details
• A clean browse experience inside the main library UI

Scope

This public docs set focuses on library organization and discovery. Treat games as another managed media type inside OmniLux, just like movies, shows, books, and music.
