[QUOTE="jameson_uk, post: 984392, member: 11220"] I see the issue. The problem is that the playlist code is very old and has a number of issues: [LIST] [*]It tries to read tags from database [*]If file does not exist in database it creates a MusicTag instance empty values [*]Music Overlay code picks up item and only reads tags from file where no MusicTag exists [*]MusicTag does exist therefore it displays the values in the MusicTag instance (all empty strings) [/LIST] Not sure it is a simple fix but if you add the tracks in your playlist to your database you will get tagged values showing up. This is why it is broken for relative playlists (it is doing the lookup based on filename) Can you please try the attached? Rename the existing Windowplugins.dll at C:\Program Files (x86)\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\plugins\Windows and put this one in it's place [/QUOTE]
