Losey 1 Posted Tuesday at 04:37 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 04:37 AM I have a number of OSTs I'd like to retain in my music library which I would very much like to also feature as theme-music for their associated movies and shows. Rather than creating duplicate copies of the albums, I'd like to be able to reference the files where they are and save the drive capacity. I've made a few attempts to get this to work one way or another, and have only had any luck getting STRM files to work for videos, though I understand it is supposed to also support podcasts and radio streams.

Luke 38096 Posted Tuesday at 12:57 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:57 PM Hi, what exactly happened? I feel like this should work, although they may have been detected as theme videos rather than theme songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losey 1 Posted Tuesday at 05:13 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 05:13 PM I'm referencing mp3 files in the STRMs, and managed to get a playback error after I navigated away from the page once in a while, but usually nothing happens. I've run library scans so I'm positive the files are being detected, but not sure what's going on under the hood; I can't find anything about either the STRM or mp3 in any server logs. Honestly, I also wish there was a way to see what tracks are detected as theme music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 38096 Posted Tuesday at 05:14 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:14 PM They are probably being detected as theme videos and so you'll need to enable that in display settings. Regarding the playback error, we should look at an example of that. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losey 1 Posted Tuesday at 08:08 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 08:08 PM I think the playback error might have been from the library scan not having been completed when I moved the mp3 files back to their home. I've tried enabling theme videos in display settings, to no avail, same with disabling them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Losey 1 Posted Wednesday at 04:08 AM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 04:08 AM Update: I have now also tried using a mp4 video STRM, which also is not working (either as a theme.strm or as a STRM in a theme-music subfolder). I've verified the video itself works as a STRM elsewhere, so that's not the issue either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losey 1 Posted Thursday at 12:48 AM Author Share Posted Thursday at 12:48 AM It just displays the default "background" image. No failure messages, no indicators that a video (or song) is even detected. If a mp3 or mp4 is added to the directory alongside the STRM file(s), that file plays as normal.
