Texusa 1 Posted October 22, 2025 Posted October 22, 2025 Hi I recently set up manually theme music for my TV shows. Almost all of my shows the music is working but there are 3 that will not work no matter what I try. I have tried deleting the music and readding it. Changing where it is located to just be under the TV show folder with the name theme.mp3 Changing the actual music that is located in the folder. Using a theme that is working on another TV in the show that it is not working. The last test seems to indicate that there is something else going on that is stopping the theme music from working. Is there a location that I can go to, to clear out the database for theme music? Or maybe there is something else that I can do, I did not see any settings to change anything with theme music on the server. The server is running on Windows 11 and I have tested from android client, windows client, and google chrome cast.

Using a theme that is working on another TV in the show that it is not working. That's odd. Two tests you could try: 1. Place theme file in theme-music subfolder under TV show folder, run Scan media library task 2. Remove offending series folder out of your TV shows root, Scan media library to clear the db, move series folder back, Scan media library again.
Texusa 1 Posted October 22, 2025 Author Posted October 22, 2025 So the theme-music folder is what I am using. I tried to just put the music under the TV show folder as I know that should also work but that did not either. I will try removing the entire show and then adding it back.
Solution Texusa 1 Posted October 22, 2025 Author Solution Posted October 22, 2025 Ok I figured it out. After removing one of the shows and adding it back it was added back weird. After looking at the structure of the TV show I could see that it was not following the naming standard for Emby. I changed the naming for the seasons to S01,S02,S03.... ect and after this the theme music started to work. So if anyone else has this issue double check the season naming that you have set up. 1
