Original request:
I got 2 Accounts and i use one via Family sharing so i don't have to switch all the time. Is there a way for me to import both libraries?

I also have 2 accounts connected, albeit one is my friends. I also use family sharing. This is what I do and I see games from both libraries and can also use Playnite to launch the game. If of course no one is playing on the family shared account.

Configurations > Settings > Steam > Import all games > Local user : [choose second account] > Save

I have 4 accounts to connect. It appears to get most of them but https://www.lorenzostanco.com/lab/steam/friends/ says there are 193 games while Playnite says "only" 167. I haven't bothered going through it to see where the discrepancies are, but it would be nice to just import multiple accounts

PS. It seems some mods aren't imported from playnite, which include games like Age Of Chivalry and D.I.P.R.I.P. Warm Up. Though considering I was able to go through account imports one by one, it seems like it's affected by a separate bug.

@phly95 Mods probably don't get reported by Steam Web API, that's why they might be missing (I didn't check to confirm this).

Agreed!

A friend (family-share account) has about 250 games from which only ~70 are family-share-able
It's difficult to import multiple Steam accounts and manually hide games that are actually not in the family-share libary - ((and it would get more complicated if he buys a bunch of new games))

Bump

i'd like to see this too.
Edit : Multiple Uplay account could be good as well.

Yea I'd love to see multiple accounts for any number of libraries, not just Steam. (I'd want it for Epic for example, because of their annoying "can't change the country" policy)

How to do this on newer version?

Chiming in here for multi account support. What can we as a community do to make it a priority?

You can vote for it in current Playnite 8 prioritization Patreon poll.

Attempted to vote but looks like voting is closed? Bummer. This is one of my top features. Will there be voting for some other future version?

Patreon polls open close after each major release so that should be after Playnite 8 is released.
