Issue with local theme songs on new PMS update; Season backdrop weirdness

Plex Media Server

Server Version#: 1.41.9.9961
Player Version#: Plex Web Version 4.148.0, any client
After updating my docker install to 1.41.9 stable, new local theme songs are not picked up by Plex. I thought it was a bug with multi folders per library at first, as I recently merged my 4K TV folder with my regular TV folder in the library settings.

After troubleshooting and creating a new show folder in my base TV folder and feeding it a theme.mp3, Plex is not picking it up and sticking to the cloud provided 30s theme. Posters are unaffected and seem to pick up local changes or removals. Tried emptying the trash, clean bundles, removed my second folder from library, Plex dance to no avail.

I also noticed after the update, the season backdrop, if not provided via local assets, will default on the show backdrop on the Plex mediaverse, instead of defaulting to the show backdrop set at the show level (be from local assets or manually changed using the web background picker from the edit menu).

Rollback to the previous version (1.41.8.9834) fixes both of those issues, so my guess is it’s a 1.41.9 problem.

Same thing has happened to me.

Plex doesn’t play local assets for theme songs with the latest version (PlexMediaServer-1.41.9.9961-46083195d-x86_64_DSM7). I tried rolling back to the previous version, but unfortunately I get the error “You cannot roll back to the older version 1.41.8.9834”. I am not running Plex in Docker. Can someone tell me how to roll back to the earlier version when run natively?

You’re in the regular Linux (not Synology) section of the forum but will answer.

DSM 7 does not allow rolling back.

  1. Uninstall the package with the “KEEP” option (first radio button)
  2. When complete, Manual Install the lower version you wish to use.

Thanks Chuck!

Okay, good—I’m not losing my mind. I was getting mad because all the hours I put into the theme for the TV show felt wasted.

I can reproduce the issue and have filed a bug report.

Do you know if this has been fixed in 1.42.1.10054?

I want to update due to the security fix but I’m worried this has not been fixed.

I installed the latest security fix. I can confirm that this bug is still present.

I did the update and my original bug did not show. I’m a bit bewildered, someone said that rollbacking did not solve the issue, and me updating for a second time I do not have the issue. It feels like such a random bug if we’re having it across multiple versions.

That statement is not correct.
It all depends on how far back you are going.

My statement that was linked said rolling back one specific version didn’t fix it so might need to roll back further - which you just rephrased as correcting my statement. I’m not trying to be argumentative but I don’t like this type of misrepresentation so wanted to clarify.

+1 to this but also want to say I’ve noticed if you change the library setting to “prefer local metadata” then it will pick up your local theme mp3. But this is not ideal as it can overwrite all your episode names if they’re embedded in the files, etc.
