    not sure what context you are running your code, but something like this should work

    var uHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
    var imgUrl = uHelper.TypedMedia(udiResult);
                string urlStr = imgUrl.Url;
    

    where udiResult = your weird string :) umb://media/d18bad45aa50445645564545654

    Hi Wilmar

    Is the Media Picker configurated to allow single or multiple images? The default Media Picker datatype instance allow to select multiple items.

    You can create a new datatype instance e.g. "Image Picker" and configurate this to not allow selecting multiple items (and maybe not folders?).

    Then the following should work:

    var profileImage = member.Value<IPublishedContent>("profileImage");
    var url = profileImage?.Url();
    

    Otherwise you might try this:

    var profileImage = member.Value<IEnumerable<IPublishedContent>>("profileImage")?.FirstOrDefault();
    var url = profileImage?.Url();

    I know if this is overkill but the only way i manage to serve the image from an IMember was like this

     public string GetMemberImageUrl(IMember contentOwner,string alias ="photo")
        {
            try
            {
                var image = contentOwner.GetValue<string>(alias);
                if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(image) && Udi.TryParse(image, out var imageGuidUdi))
                {
                    var imageNodeId = Services.EntityService.GetId(imageGuidUdi);
    
                    if (imageNodeId.Success)
                    {
                        var mediaItem = _mediaService.GetById(imageNodeId.Result);
    
                        return mediaItem.GetUrl("umbracoFile", _logger);
                    }
                }
            }
            catch
            {
    
            }
    
            return RANDOM_USER_IMAGE;
        }

    Why do you need to use IMember? You can get the member as IPublishedContent.

    If you logic in places inside a controller and don't need to set properties on members, you can use MemberShipHelper otherwise MemberService where you are dealing with IMember.

    Could you share a bit more of the code and the context?
