Server Version#: 1.25.9.5673
Hello. First, sorry for my English, I use a translator.
Here is my problem. For some TV shows, I prefer a personal musical theme, via a theme.mp3 file that I place in the show folder according to the indications of the Plex support.
Sometimes it works the first time, other times I have to insist, by refreshing the metadata, and sometimes it doesn’t work at all despite my various attempts, Plex persists in playing the theme it found online.
I have done a lot of cross-testing which has shown that the problem is not with the mp3 file.
In the agent settings, I have placed Local Media Assets (TV) in the top position.
I tried to restart the server, clean up the bundles, refresh again and again, unlink and re-link the tv show, many other manips, to no avail.
I hope someone can help me.
Thank you
Dany

That’ll only apply if you’re using a legacy agent – not with the current Plex TV Series agent.
If you add a theme.mp3 file, you need to refresh the show’s metadata for Plex to pick that up. Also make sure it’s an actual mp3 file – not some other media type renamed as mp3.
Thanks for your answer.
“Actual” mp3 file ?
it’s an mp3 I just downloaded, I tried several. I put it in the directory and I rename it theme.mp3

You can put an mp3 file extension at pretty much any file. Most OS will play audio files in pretty much any format ok, no matter if the file extension is matching its content or mp3. Just saying there’s been a number of posts where users had issues and it turned out they were adding some other audio formats into their theme.mp3.
Please post the contents (i.e. NOT the URL!) of the Plex media info XML of one episode of an affected show.
the mp3 it’s correct. For my tests I copied an mp3 that was accepted in another tv show, so I know that the file is correct

That’s right, I didn’t see that problem. I just rectified the structure, and now it works, thanks a lot!
