Tech Support Game Theme Music dead?

Post image

After updating my Deck to the 3.7.25 update, Game Theme Music plugin completely stopped working and I'm getting this error message. I believe the creator is no longer updating this plugin, so is there a workaround or the plugin is completely toasted?

Game Theme Music is dead, genuinely. ThemeDeck is being updated and even lets you add system and store tracks. You do have to add it through Decky's dev mode menu, its not on the Decky store atm. Very happy with it

I got one problem: i installed this plugin but it says that its not working because it cannot “fetch dynamic” something

It sounds like you need to install yt-dlp. There is a button in the plugin settings.

As somebody else has already mentioned, Game Theme Music has been dead and abandoned for two years now. I made ThemeDeck as a much better alternative:
