Hi  
  
  
  
i am wondering if someone knows how to implement tv themes into a plex client.  
  
  
  
i mean do someone know the URL to call a specific theme for a selected tvshow.   
  
  
  
or in other word what do i have to trigger on the server to get as answer the theme?  
  
  
  
Hopefully someone can give me a hint 🙂  
  
  
  
greets

Hi!  
  
If you follow the paths inside the XML ouput from PMS, you’ll see an attribute named “theme” (or “grandparentTheme” furher up the tree). The value of this attribute is the path to the audio file of the theme.
