I've been trying to get .cue files working in MediaPortal like I had imagined it would, but it's not going very well. When browsing the .cue file's contents (it's shown like an album in Album Artists' view btw, that's like it should be) I get the track listing fine, but only the first track's length is correct, all of the other tracks after that seem to show the total playtime.

If I try skipping to the next track, the first track keep playing but the Now Playing overlay is showing me the Title/Artist for the item I've skipped to.

If I let the first track play into the second track, there's no update in the Now Playing overlay, but at least the second track is now playing. Isn't the point of using .cue files to be able to skip like if I was playing back a disc?

Thanks

Looking at it now, I see that there are two INDEX entries per track. Perhaps MediaPortal assumes the first one is the correct one by default?
