Having the following problem with 0.2.2.0 Stable and the latest SVN version:

When i play an MP3 with an embedded image within the ID3 tag MP Internal player refuses to play the file. When i use BASS as the default player there's no problem, the file will be played.

The images were inserted with "Tah&Rename" tool.
The MP3 files are not corrupted becouse BASS and winamp can play the files.

I know i set BASS as my default player.. but BASS doens't respond the way i like on my remote contol, especially when adjusting the volume. And in my option it's a bug wich has to be solved

Developers: thanks for making Mediaportal!

try to make the picture smaller in size.
i've seen the Directshow methods giving up searching for mp3 frames, when the picture was too large.

So you have configured your MCE remote to send Volume control commands.
To where?
Normally the Vol+ and Vol- are "dead" keys.
I've configured mine to control the the volume of my 7.1 amplifier, where my pc is connected to.
looks like you have the speakers connected directly to the pc and want to control volume there.
Correct?

hwahrmann thanks for your quick reply.

The original image was a 900x900 JPEG. This image was adjusted to 300x300, this didnt work out.
Then make the image 10x10 (just trying) that didnt work out also.
At least i made it a .BMP, also that didnt work out.
