Background Music no Playing on Jellyfin Web With Moonfin Plugin

[leonardopieralli]

First of all, thank you for your work: I've been using the full suite for quite some time now. I'm using the clients on Android, Android TV and Fire TV Stick, as well as the Moonfin plugin for Jellyfin Web, and overall the experience has been great.

However, on Jellyfin Web (via Moonfin), I’m unable to play background music, as I can’t find any option to enable it. I’ve also tried enabling it on other devices and syncing the status / pulling the profile from Jellyfin Web, but nothing seems to work.

Am I missing something, or is this a feature planned for future updates?

That should work (although starts playing on the show/movie detail pages since it doesn't know which item is selected on the home page). Im any case, the Web ui is being separated from the plugin shortly and themes do work in the new version. There is a link on the Discord to test it out if you are interested while you wait.

Otherwise, you could also try out the desktop clients rather than using the webui?

Here I am, sorry for the late reply. I have tried even from Moonfin desktop client now (I Have never tried it before honestly), but unfortunately it does not work both from web and from desktop client. I have obviously activated it from Settings -> Plugin -> Previews & Music. i have flagged both Theme Music and Theme Music on Home Rows and set Theme Music Volume to 40%
I'll try out when the new version will be released since you told me it works in that and there is a test button.
If there is anything I can do to help like attaching determinate logs or trying something i will be glad to help

Does your library actually contain theme music? Each show/movie needs to have a theme.mp3 file in its directory for that feature to work.

In the WebClient
Profile -> Display -> Libraries -> Theme songs
Play the theme songs in background while browsing the library.

for mattsigal: I am sure It contains music, as said in Android and Android TV/Fire TV Stick clients It works perfectly

for 1985xman: I have already enabled it, in fact if i uninstall Moonfin's plugin and restart the server, It works with "vanilla" Jellyfin
