My Jellyfin server happens to have a lot of radio dramas on it, which are currently in the Music folder. I tried putting them in a Shows folder but it did not recognize the mp3 files. Personally, I'm a bit frustrated by this since it would be so nice to set a theme song for each of them like you would a TV show. Is there a way to make that happen?

And while we are on the topic, is there a better way to present radio dramas on Jellyfin? Or am I stuck with presenting each one as an extremely large music album?

Sadly no tracking of listening position is done by Jellyfin currently. Here's the feature request page https://features.jellyfin.org/posts/48/podcast-support

That’s too bad. Though it seems like there’s a cross platform client that does remember playback positions: nautune.

That’s probably good enough for me when I make the switch.

Edit: seems to be a vibe-coded app, and I haven’t seen any way to install it.

There’s probably a more well known client that saves the playback progress.
