ebr 16184 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Not trying to Promote Plex, but why doesn't Emby download Theme Music automatically like Plex for Libraries? Because there is no free source for these items. Plex pays for this. We would like to get to the point where we can also provide these items if there is enough demand. 1

MndWrp 101 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 Is it possible to play a theme music when calling a movie collection? And where should the theme.mp3 be stored? Actually if you put an mp3 file in the collection folder, the theme will play when entering the collection. But my guess is that is working as a happy mistake and not an intended feature. Use a your own risk. 1

But my guess is that is working as a happy mistake and not an intended feature. Use a your own risk. I don´t have any collection folder :-( The collections are build from Emby server. So every movie has it´s own folder. @@ebr Is there a way to play only one theme when I opened a Collection in the Android TV app?
Luke 42079 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 It will play all themes for the particular item in question.
ebr 16184 Posted February 26, 2019 Posted February 26, 2019 The way theme's work is not specific to any one app. I'm not sure if there is any way to provide a theme for a collection...

Just go where the collections data is saved within the server folder and drop your theme in the collection you want. Refresh that collection and dance to the music.

There is in the way that i described. It works but does feel a bit like a hack. An official emby way would be great though. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk
mikeB2210 26 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Posted February 27, 2019 @@Luke It would be nice if there was one folder in the system where all music themes would be saved.At the moment the themes have to be saved in the Movie folder as theme.mp3. For collections, there is unfortunately no folder to save the theme.mp3. A central location for all mp3 files would certainly be clearer. The files could then be saved in "moviename.mp3" format. Just a wish :-)
Solution Luke 42079 Posted February 27, 2019 Solution Posted February 27, 2019 There is actually. Use the metadata editor on a collection to see the path. 2
mikeB2210 26 Posted February 27, 2019 Author Posted February 27, 2019 /config/data/collections/ This is the path on my openmediavault Server. For me as newbe it is not possible to reach this path because it´s the system disk It would be more comfortable when I can configure a path in the settings.
MndWrp 101 Posted February 27, 2019 Posted February 27, 2019 Thanks for the info.Or alternatively be able to specify where collections are stored? I'm in the same boat with Synology, the path cannot be reached. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk
ScottRTL 6 Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) Emby server is installed on Ubuntu for me and the playlists and collections are located in: /var/lib/emby/data If I place theme.mp3 in the collections (or playlist) location, it seems to work. Edit, collections seem to work, but playlists doesn't Edited May 3, 2019 by ScottRTL
Luke 42079 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 We haven't looked at theme music with these, but it is possible for the future. Thanks.
