Hi all,
if I play a file "Thriller.mp3" from a .m3u playlist, XBMC displays artist, album and title correctly from the mp3 tags.
However, Player.GetItem sends artist, album and title empty, only "Thriller.mp3" as "label".

Everything works fine if exactly the same file is played directly from the music library.

Can be easily tested with the official XBMC Remote.

Is this a current XBMC limitation or is there a way around it?
Thanks,
Markus

We had a discussion more or less about this topic a couple of days ago. Maybe this answers your question
