Okay, sounds like the index/cache is out of date. Try running "tracker-processes -r" to clear the index (this will mean it'll have to reindex all media on the phone again, so could take a while), then launch Photos/Media Player to kick the indexer back into action.

Download and install rootsh, type root then enter in terminal
Then do the above command, if it doesn't work I'll reply.

There's no need to be root, and it may not even work properly as root (depending on whether it uses absolute or relative paths).

Please do not say something is the best way to solve a problem unless you know what you are talking about. Especially when that something is as drastic as reflashing.
