Hello all and Happy New year. Mine has been well and the house is coming along slowly meaning alot slower then I would like. But I come here today to get some opinions as I am still brainstorming a revision/ new addon/ ecosystem of sorts.
As all of you know that have used this addon there are some flaws and it has been so long I would have to spend way more time then I prefer to try to go through the code and figure out what is wrong. I had mentioned before I have been trying to learn Python and I feel that it would be better for everyone if it had a rewrite honestly.
With that I. Not going to start now but I want honest answers so I can improve. So if you are a user of this addon please answer the following questions so I can get a better idea of how to move forward.
Where do you have your theme file located in accordance with kodi's proper folder structure?
Do u have your themes separated? .eg audio theme video theme
Do you use run a SQL server?
If you have a Windows PC would you be willing to install yet another server if it may make your experience better?
Are there any other reasonable options that you would like to have made available?
Are there any other comments you would like to make?
Again thank you for using this addon and any feedback will be appreciated. As I can't improve on issues that are not brought to may attention.
Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your reply. Since there aren't any other replies then at the time of the new project I will keep this in mind and use my own discretion.

I concur with whysoserious. I have theme.mp3 in the main folder of the TV Show, like them.

Same structures as the answers above except for Movie Collections:
For example:
\dvds\JamesBondCollection\DVD1\dvd.vob
\dvds\JamesBondCollection\DVD2\dvd.vob
\dvds\JamesBondCollection\theme.mp3
So my themes are one folder up in the parent directory of the collection.
Audio themes only.

Firstly thank you very much for this addon smitchell6879.
Installed on a Windows with Kodi 17.6 and works!
Did encounter the error/crash when there are multiple theme files in the same folder (theme1, theme2, etc).
1) Where do you have your theme file located in accordance with kodi's proper folder structure?
Same folder structure as most other users.
- Series\Game Of Thrones (2011)\theme.mp3
2) Do u have your themes separated? .eg audio theme video theme
Only have audio themes. All MP3 files.
3) Do you use run a SQL server?
No. I run a Microsoft Server just sharing the database.
4) If you have a Windows PC would you be willing to install yet another server if it may make your experience better?
Depends on how difficult setting up another server will be and the resources required.
5) Are there any other reasonable options that you would like to have made available?
Ability to handle multiple themes (if available).
Option to randomly select a theme to play (if multiple themes available).
Option to loop.
6) Are there any other comments you would like to make?
Thanks again for this!

Hello! I only want to update to Kodi 18 when it is certain that I can continue to use my Main Titles. TvTunes on Kodi 17.6 is a main feature for me. If I update to Kodi 18, that will be a thing of the past.
General i have my theme naming convention in a way that TvTunes could handle it:
Naming for Movies:
Movies are in folders and the files are the same name as the folders and the theme is the same name as file with "-theme.mp3" as suffix.
->Moviefoldername (Year)
-->Moviefilename (Year).ext
-->Moviefilename (Year)-theme.mp3
Sometimes i use more themes or a OST Album:
-->Moviefilename (Year)-theme-1.mp3
-->Moviefilename (Year)-theme-2.mp3
...
-->OSTAlbumsongname1-theme.mp3
-->OSTAlbumsongname2-theme.mp3
...
Naming for Collections:
Often i use themes in the Collection parent folder, cause lot of movies in a Collection have the same theme (for e.g. Bourne Collection, Beverly Hill Cop, ....)
->Collectionfoldername
-->Collectionfoldername-theme.mp3
If a movie is a collection, it searches first for the theme in the movie folder, if no found it searches a theme in the collection parent folder
I also use video themes with the same system as above, except with another file extension "-theme.mkv", "-theme.mp4"
I also created in every movie folder a Moviefilename (Year)-trailer.mp4, for the future in that case it would possible for a addon to switch from "-theme.mp3" to "-trailer.mp4" so the trailer would start automatic in background (as video theme)
Naming for TvShows:
The naming for themes in TvShows is very random the only thing that's always in common is a "-theme.mp3" at the end of the filename.
Examples:
TvShowName-theme.mp3 (most common)
TvShowName (Season X)-theme.mp3
TvShowName (Extended)-theme.mp3
TvShowName (Language)-theme.mp3
Questions:
Is it up to now the only naming option for Movies or TV shows only with "theme.mp3"
Will it be possible to attach a prefix and then the "blablabla-theme.mp3" as suffix?
Will it be possible to play more themes when more than one theme storaged?
If yes, will it be possible that than there is a choose random if more than one theme storaged?
Is a playing delay possible, and if, is it possible to set for music themes another delay as for video themes?
Is there a fade in and fade out option?
In TvTunes it was not possible but is it possible to play themes in kodi in the Container.Content(Collections) when i am in Collections area to play a theme from Collections folder?
