lstryhrn85 11 Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 (edited) I am trying to add theme music to my movie collection. Where is the collection folder stored? Is there a collection folder at all all? Is this even possible? I got my movies and tv shows to work by following these steps here Emby Theme Songs & Videos : Emby but I can't seem the find directions for the collections. Edited August 27, 2021 by lstryhrn85 6
GrimReaper 3975 Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 Collections are stored under your install-dir\programdata\metadata\collections, but AFAIK theme music won't work there. It's a nice idea, though. 2
Luke 39644 Posted August 27, 2021 Posted August 27, 2021 Yes it's something we can look at in future updates. Thanks 2
crusher11 945 Posted August 28, 2021 Posted August 28, 2021 Theme music was supported in the old collection system but not in the new one. 1
Luke 39644 Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 It's something we can look at. Thanks for the feedback. 1
JohnSpartan3M 10 Posted December 5, 2021 Posted December 5, 2021 This actually used to work, all u had to do was get an mp3 put it in the collection and name it thems and it would surely play, after whatever update this stopped working now themes only play on movies and tv shows

Broc0liRab3 5 Posted April 25, 2023 Posted April 25, 2023 Hi, has there been any update on this? i try to be patient with the updated but this is something that really became disappointing as it previously worked and then one day stopped. i spent hours creating theme songs for my collections and now none of them work. i would just like a possible time frame as to when this might work again.

Hi, not yet, sorry. But we can take a look at it. Thanks.
Broc0liRab3 5 Posted August 13, 2024 Posted August 13, 2024 i would like to know if there has been any progress made on this? it still is not working. i have many themes sitting in the collection folders where they used to work. can this please be added back ?
Smitty018210 93 Posted August 25, 2024 Posted August 25, 2024 I for one would also like to be able to do this again. Was a nice little option. Thanks!
Luke 39644 Posted September 4, 2024 Posted September 4, 2024 HI, yes agreed. It's something we can look at . Thanks.
lewis45443423 1 Posted October 13, 2024 Posted October 13, 2024 Has this been added back yet i have is many themes i work on this is so annoying because this used to work. Not really sure why you remove it.

laie_techie 15 Posted October 15, 2024 Posted October 15, 2024 Would this idea get more attention in the Feature Request forum? I, too, support bringing this back.
Happy2Play 9352 Posted October 21, 2024 Posted October 21, 2024 That is the issue though as it shouldn't be a Feature Request for a feature the was remove/broke from a previous version when Collections were migrated from /data to /metadata. 2
lewis45443423 1 Posted October 23, 2024 Posted October 23, 2024 I completely agree with you been waiting so long for a feature that use to work to be added back in. 1
ChiyuCC 1 Posted January 2 Posted January 2 I would also really like to be able to do this. I think it would add a lot of atmosphere when browsing franchises with memorable themes. Can't wait for this to work (again)! 1

Anytime I see this or something like it "Yes it's something we can look at in future updates. Thanks " I know that it's not happening. Or if it dose happen we will have to wait forever for it to happen. Instead of saying look that's a cool idea, but it's not something we can send time on now, or maybe not for a long time if ever. At lease that's more of an honest answer. 1
