SoundConvertor Verion: 3.0.2
Distro: Ubuntu 19.10 (Tesing) - I'm using this so I can make sure I have the latest version of SoundConvertor

This is rather an odd one.

I use a NAS called a WDMyCloud EX2 Ultra, and also use get-iplayer which is a program for downloading BBC Radio shows:

https://github.com/get-iplayer/get_iplayer

The script downloads the file and tags with an image from the BBC website.

When I convert to mp3 with SoundConvertor I don't see the image preview in the MyCloud Application (Image attached)

However if I use either of these FFMPEG commands it works fine:

ffmpeg -i *.m4a ffmpegquick.mp3

ffmpeg -i *.m4a -acodec libmp3lame -aq 2 ffmpegoptions.mp3

The odd thing is that the WDMyCloud box includes an implementation of Twonky and all the images appear fine in there.

I followed the instructions on the SoundConvertor Homepage to install dependencies for MP3 conversion and I just get an error 'Package gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly is virtual.

I can provide the m4a file if required. Thanks in advance.

This is the debug:
