Mkilbride 76 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 So, I was a little confused when I first started using Emby and was setting it up, I enabled Theme Music. Nothing happened. I thought it might be a Premiere only feature. I got premiere and it still wasn't working(it's free in Plex by the way, no pass needed), so I looked at the plugin and saw it might need to be paid for separately, but it had a trial...and still no music. Further research showed you had to download the theme music yourself and put it into folders...so using your own space and a lot of time and effort once again. Meanwhile I found a post that said Plex licensed a library and that was how they were able to just offer it was a simple option. Perhaps Emby could look into the same kind of licensing deal? It's a neat little feature that sometimes I enjoyed just going into a series on Plex and hearing some of it's music play right away and could kind of get me excited to start an episode or interested in a series I had there. I get matches for like 99% of my content instantly and it's neat. Obviously it could be annoying to some, so obviously off by default, but I like it. Obviously it costs money and is probably not a very requested feature. It's one of those I could live with or without and isn't really a priority to me, but it's something I did enjoy from Plex. It could even be a Premiere exclusive feature if need be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkilbride 76 Posted May 28, 2020 Author Share Posted May 28, 2020 I'm saying without purchasing or downloading anything. Like Plex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1ng_Lear 185 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 The set costs onetime 8 GBP and is every pence worth. And unlike plex, it offers themes for movies, too. Also in the set are the backdrop videos which are really cool. Unfortunately works the vids only in the web app yet, but maybe further support is coming. I switched from plex, too, and I never regret it. Yes, I paid for the theme song plug in but it’s worth it. my 2ct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkilbride 76 Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 (edited) But they cost money. You need to purchase an Addon. While in Plex, they are free. You also need to download them to the shows folder. Meanwhile in Plex, they are streamed to you without the need for a download.

Mkilbride 76 Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 It's been months since I posted this. Someone revived it, but clearly you still do not get what I mean. 1. Free 2. Download nothing. 3. Automatically streamed across the web / automatched, nothing you need to do. 100% of my TV show and 95% of my anime would get their theme songs playing when I went to their page with 0 input or downloads from me.

Hi. We understand exactly what you mean. I was responding to the assertion that they weren't supported in our Android TV app but they are. Thanks.

A lot of us work hard to ensure our libraries are full of that extra little detail, only to find that a big chunk of our users aren't benefiting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time it was implemented, I was avoiding a stark and unexpected change in behavior. If this is on by default in the other apps, then we should change it there too.
