Playing WMA Variable Bit Rate (VBR)

DamnedOne · 2006-06-15, 13:30

I've noticed that when playing WMA VBR files the "Now Playing" screen does not display any track information.

MP3's are fine and dandy.

I've tried various skins with the same result, so I gather it's an MP issue?

Has anyone else seen this problem?

... In MediaPortal - Setup / Music, make sure that the "Load ID3 tags from file..." option is checked. Now all the info displays correctly, along with the correct playing time etc.
