Synopsis:: -
I've recently upgraded to 0.2 final. In doing so, I thought I would investigate the My Pictures side of things which I have ignored til now.

I play music through the WinAmp plugin so I can make use of VolumeLogic. If I set a Party Shuffle (or any playlist for that matter) going and then a slide show, I'm good for the first track. The second track gives me the popup info, but doesn't come through winamp. It is coming through the internal player. The third track and onwards, don't give me a popup info box but do come through winamp.

I don't know if it's connected, but I don't get any tag info on my LCD either (Silverstone LC11m + included External Display plugin). I get the time info but not the tags. This has been happening ever since the upgrade, before I started playing with My Pics.

I can live without the popup info box (but I'd rather not) but I can't live with the internal player without the VolumeLogic processing.

Bit difficult to track and reproduce as it means listening to several tracks and seeing what's happening behind the scenes without losing the slideshow.

Any ideas?

Thanks
John
