The prompt should be returned to you in a second or two, all it does is to kill the media tracker and delete the media database . Re-start the phone and try it again.

Re: How do you refresh the media player on N900
 

when you are in the listing interface, if you keep your finger on a name more than two seconds, a delete button will appear. Personaly, I often use xterm to go into the video folder and I use the cp command (or sometimes vi) to create a new file (mv doesn't induce a refresh). It seems working fine and by the way, you never directly touch the files systems.

hey i found the easiest way to refresh media player!!!!


just install cuteExplorer

Hey, could someone tell me how to set the mp3 path to only the ".sounds" folder? Thanks

Re: How do you refresh the media player on N900
 

You can't set a specific path for MP3s, but you can change the directories indexed by tracker (which also is used for pictures and videos), to do so edit the /home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg file, or install the Trackercfg program which gives you a nice GUI to edit that file.
