The web player plays the theme music for TV shows, but the Windows player does not. Can this be added? I read that it used to work, but it doesn’t seem to do so now.

Open Plex for Windows Go to Settings > Plex for Windows > General Check Play Theme Music Enjoy Just verified… works like a charm.

even if checked the the option not working can you please advise how it works?

What version of Plex for Windows do you have installed (on what version of Windows)? Do you have this behavior for every show or will it play for one but then not for the next few?

Am using the latest plex version for windows , am trying it on movies.

There’s no theme songs for movies this is a tv-show only feature.
