Emission with x-particles

Hello everyone,
I'm having a really tough time wrapping my head around how to get my x-particles properly textured for octane.
I have a scene with x-particles with a xpTrail. I want to texturize that stream and so I added the octane object tag to it. Clicked render as hair and then added an Octane diffuse material. So far so good.
However, I want those trails to generate light. So I give it some emission but to no effect. No change at all. Any ideas I can try?
Thanks so much,
Rick

Just tick 'surface brightness' in the emission node
Best,

It's in the thread that has been linked above.

not sure, which version that link is related to but emission on trails and/or splines seems to work in 3.08.3
it does not in octane4-versions (not tried it in standalone though, only within cinema).
is that something that's gonna work someday or is this feature somehow "cancelled" in v4?

Link the trails to xpSplineMesher - there the emission will work - no more need for the hair tag
