✨ [REQUEST] free-games-claimer

[amosyuen]

!!! I have a real life job in parallel to this addon, and don't think I'll be able to add new addons for the moment. You can still however express your interest in case someone would do it

Which addon?
https://github.com/vogler/free-games-claimer. Supports epic games, prime gaming and GOG

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Claim free games from multiple services.

**If a new addon, have you checked on Google that such as addon doesn't already exists?**
Yes

Describe the solution you'd like

Configure single add-on to claim all free games.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Not aware of other alternatives

[diamant-x]

there's an epic games one already.

[amosyuen]

That one always prompts for a security code every checkout for me so isn't that helpful. free-games-claimer doesn't prompt and supports more accounts.

[KairuByte]

Oh my goodness, thank you For bringing this project to my attention. It seems they are looking to as even more services to The grabber as well!

[hacshacdgacs]

As someone who's had issues with the epicgamesfree addon in the past (was unable to get it to actually claim games because of the captcha) I would also like this if possible.

[alexbelgium]

I'll look at it

[alexbelgium]

Would this addon remove the epicgamesfree one? For sake of simplification

[hacshacdgacs]

I believe so but I don't personally use the epicfreegames addon so it may be worth putting a poll/question for them if that's an option?

[KairuByte]

I think it makes sense to keep both. They use different methods, and epic games free tends to be much more reliable from what I'm seeing.

[alexbelgium]

Is the latest working?

[KairuByte]

The latest egf is still working, and the latest container for fgc is working. I tried to set up the fgc addon last night but ran into issues with it accepting creds from the config file, so need to sit down today and figure out what's going on.

[alexbelgium]

In theory values from the config file (in yaml format) are exported as env variables

[KairuByte]

I'm not sure why, but I am getting constant stalls on start. It gets to the point that I am seeing output from the container, but it just stops sometimes moments after it starts up. Is that likely an issue with the container itself, or is that potentially a misconfiguration on the addon "wrapper" side?

Edit: Seems to come and go. I was just able to get it running, but it doesn't seem to be reading the values from the config file. Looking through the repo, I think it may have an incorrect file extension? The docs read like we should be interacting with config.env not config.yaml.

[alexbelgium]

Well config.yaml is my internet system to export env variables. Not sure about config.env

[MaxWinterstein]

Just found a minute and was going to check if 'epic-games-free' is fixable, and was confused where the readme part was gone. Found that you renamed the whole folder, therefore it looked 'abandoned' to me.

Tried the new 'free-games-claimer' - currently shown as 'epic-games-free' and had just one weird thing. It was not showing the novnc server, nor something useful in the logs. After adding a real port to the VNC port mapping everything started fine. After removing it still works fine. Not sure how settings are handled internally, and if a setting that once was overwritten is now empyt/null - or at least other than it was before.

To make every business consultant happy, here is the positive feedback: Would be nice to select which game plattforms i would like to check, as e.g. I have no usage of amazon prime gaming.

Keep up the good work ✌️

[KairuByte]

Yeah, I'm having trouble getting novnc running here as well, and my entries in the config file don't seem to be working at all. I tried adding a vnc port in the network config section of the addon to no avail. I may need to remove and re-add or something.

As for picking and choosing which service works, technically the following command can be appended to the end of the docker run command to achieve that, leaving out what you don't want: bash -c node epic-games; node prime-gaming; node gog it may be possible to incorporate that into the plugin but I'm not sure.

[alexbelgium]

Great idea, I'll do that in next version

[alexbelgium]

Latest version includes custom commands through addon options as you propose, and usage of the config.env instead of my config.yaml. The config.env uses the nomenclature KEY=VALUE instead of the previous yaml that was KEY: VALUE

Hi - sorry this was unintended, I had pushed the folder in the free-games-claimer one on explorer :-) corrected now

Apologies for the late follow up. I’ve been able to test and can confirm things run. However. Sequential running may not work?

Hi, indeed sequential running is executed but doesn't connect... Well I'll have to look again

Bad bot

[alexbelgium]

Well it reminded me of this sorry I was quite caught up in work. I'll have a look again soon

[KairuByte]

Haha no worries, it's not like you're paid to do this, and I'm fairly certain you don't even have a use for this particular add-on.

[alexbelgium]

Hi, I think I got it in version test22. Please let me know!

[amosyuen]

NoVNC still isn't working for me. But looks like it's able to claim epic games for me.

[KairuByte]

Things kinda work now.

Honestly, I think I’m going to revert to using my PC and waking it to handle this… It seems horribly slow on a Pi, and sometimes takes so long things break. I think this may just be an inherent limitation of the Pi and/or image.

[hacshacdgacs]

VNC doesn't work for me either but can confirm that Epic and GOG will claim games without me needing to restart the addon. I'm running this on an old machine and not having any issues with the speed @KairuByte so that may just be a Pi issue.

[alexbelgium]

I think VNC doesn't work due to rpi being too slow... It didn't work on my rpi4 either...

Regarding the script in itself however it seems to run fine on my rpi4 !

Then can we close this? And consider that we'll just don't have noVNC on rpi...

[alexbelgium]

Closed with disclaimer that novnc does not work but that the add-on can still work using the config file

[amosyuen]

Hi, would you consider an option to mount a config directory instead of just the config file? Reasons are:

1. Browser state is saved there. For accounts that need manual 2FA input (such as GOG) a user could run the container manually in terminal and input the 2FA code, then copy the browser data to HA to run automatically.
2. There are options like RECORD=1 that will record a video to help debug problems in config/record directory, but since directory isn't mounted there isn't an easy way to access the recorded file.

[Teberon]

I am missing something here... I configured the env correctly adding discord, eg, ap, and gog but there's no way to open anything. How do I use this: "Please use config.env to execute the script"?

I get these messages on Discord:
prime-gaming failed: page.waitForURL: Timeout 180000ms exceeded.

That is my config.env with reducted information

# NOTIFY='discord://{}/[]' -(Disabled to avoid Discord Spam, but works fine)

EG_PASSWORD='[]'
EG_OTPKEY='[]'

That's the log information until after epic games (others are similar)

Hi, I don't use the addon so can't help you with the config.env content. However, I can see from your log that the config.env file is correctly loaded by the addon Getting variables from /config/addons_config/free_games_claimer/config.env

So you would have more chance trying on their repo https://github.com/vogler/free-games-claimer. From the log it seems you haven't filled a #password tag in the config.env but they would know better than me what that means.
