Replace SDH-GameThemeMusic Plugin with MegalonVII fork

[MegalonVII]

Transfer SDH-GameThemeMusic to MegalonVII

Updates the plugin to fix breakage in finding music with yt-dlp.

Reasons for Changing Ownership

Original plugin repo was archived on June 4th, 2025. I reached out to the original maintainer and asked if we could fork the project, to which he replied with a thumbs up reaction.

Installed Plugins

• Game Theme Music - 1.7.1-96106b0

Specifications

• SteamOS 3.7.16 (Beta)
• Steam 1759461205 (Steam Deck Stable)
• Decky 3.1.11 (Prerelease)

Issues

Has the following major blocking issue(s): None
Has the following minor non-blocking issue(s): Only that the UI is a little confusing at first, it defaults to yt-dlp being disabled and provides a bunch of Invidious Instance options without an explanation for what it all means and what's recommended (I assume Invidious is since that's enabled by default). I've also noticed that the music doesn't play when returning from Suspend.

Summary

This is the first time I've used this plugin. Great job! Tested by viewing the Game Details for Elden Ring, Chrono Trigger, and a couple others. I tried the Download option toggled and untoggled and watched the yt-dlp process from top to see when it was running. All seemed to work well besides the minor issues noted.

As far as I can tell, switching between Beta and Preview right now pulls no updates. So it looks like my testing on SteamOS Beta v3.7.16 (build 20250929.1) should also tick off the "tested on Preview" requirement.

This should just be a quick hotfix for Bazzite support and for the Steam Client Beta that dropped on Oct 15. Also updates YT-DLP binary to latest release.

[EMERALD0874]

Please review the build logs and fix your plugin build.

[MegalonVII]

For some reason, I can't remember why, I got rid of the pnpm-lock. That was why it said the build failed. Should be back now.

Has the following minor non-blocking issue(s):

per the above report, I was also getting a decky crash on settings cog on steam beta client, switching to stable even on beta steam os it was stable and I could get into the theme music option on a game. I dont think this is the fault of the plugin itself.

After I manually selected an instance, all search results showed and I could choose one and have it behave as expected with all toggles tested and being respected from what I could tell. It was a bit disorienting seeing no results at first, and I was not immediately aware that its because the instance selection was blank. I think better UX would be either pre-selecting a valid one, or alternatively in the no music state direct user to choose a different instance and there may be more results if you try another.

Summary

tested by setting song on a few diff games, steam and non steam game shortcuts, and toggled things like default muted and use ytdlp and download without issue.

@MegalonVII I'm merging this, but please keep an eye out for issue reports in case someone has an issue similar to xXJSONDeruloXx
