Server Version#: 1.41.9.9961  
Player Version#: 4.147.1

I have added many TV Themes in my library, since the last update my local theme files are not considered when plex has its own theme in the database. With shows which do not have a theme in the Plex Database the local files work, but in every other case the database version is played and not the locally added one.

Please fix this if you can.

And an off-topic Question: When will the themes be back on the New Experience apps?
