I’m using Umbraco 4.7.0

My goal is to get the image path from a hard coded media node id of 4191. If I create a new macro with the code:

<xsl:copy-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(4191, false())"/>

I get the output:

/media/17675/my image.jpg50033618497jpg

I was expecting some well formed xml, however, it appears I’m missing all the tags. I therefore cannot reference the path for the image directly.

Am I missing something really simple here?

EDIT

I discovered how to get the raw xml output from my copy-of statement. I needed to wrap it in a <textarea> tag:

  <textarea>
      <xsl:copy-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(4191, false())"/>
  </textarea>

    This should do it:

    <xsl:copy-of select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(4191, 0)/umbracoFile"/>
