All media content not seen by N9
 

I put my music, took some pictures and added x2 videos, the music player was working fine and pictures showed. Then somehow the device cant 'see' anything, what is going on and how can I restore it? Have I lost my photos?
If I reset how can I restore the device? I did a backup earlier but will a reset delete everything (inc backup?).
Any help would be great, thanks.

Do you have developer mode enabled?

If so, go to terminal and run following to reset the media tracker DB:

Thanks so much. Will try.:)

I had the same problem with my N900 I remember. This is unacceptable for a mobile. Cant believe this massive bug.

edit - ha just read your linked post.

edit2 - fixed, hurrah!

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

You should have said that this command erase all SMS/MMS, Mails and Contacts, I would have done a Backup before !!! :mad:

Edit : Moreover, when you restore a previous backup to get back your contacts, the mess in the music player come back also !!!!!!!!!!!!

beat me to it :D

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Have you reported this "bug"?

I'm sure it would've been ages ago, but it's worthwhile checking the new tracker.
It's unacceptable that this issue is still hanging around from the N900 days.

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Yeh, my phone is stuffed up the same, i was happy when hard reset fixed it but now everything is gone so i did the same restored a backup and problem is back lol

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Try Restore Settings under Settings > Reset. Your messages and other data are retained.

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

please could i get a step by step guide to get this done? i would really appreciate it. :)

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Be forewarned that a tracker hard reset will lose your contacts, call logs, messages etc...

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

yeah! i know! i created a back up already(would that help?). i just need step by step guidance 2 resetting the media tracker db.

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Well if you have a backup it doesnt backup call logs...

To reset tracker:

- Open Settings -> Security -> Developer Mode -> Enable

- After the installation, the device will reboot

- After the reboot, open terminal from the homescreen

- Now type:

- Reboot the device once done and you'll see all the media get detected...

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

thanks a bunch! please i want to be sure if this is for the N9.

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Yes for the n9 and the n950...

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

i really appreciate your help. just one more thing. i have to restore the back up for my media files to be seen right? oh yh! are you on twitter?

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

You don't have to restore the backup for the detection...Tracker reset doesnt delete your media files...

Nope no twitter, facebook and what's app here :p

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

oh! so it didn't work then. :( still isn't detecting them. :( what about the "tracker-control - - hard reset" code?

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

It takes sometime for tracker to start the detection...

Hard reset do the same just type:

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

I will give you a file.. http://stwoowerks.cixx6.com/xtra/gal....0.1_armel.deb
after installing it, go to terminal and type:
gallerybugx
and then do:
tracker-control -r
reboot, wait 10 mins then check your gallery.
Thank Wook_sf for the deb file :D

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

phew!!! i got scared a bit there. thanks a bunch. let me get your facebook address. i would like to add you. :)

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

thedead1440 doesn't use Facebook :)

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Lol okay! thanks for your post too. you guys deserve bear hugs or something. why does this malfunction occur in the first place?

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Tracker sucks on N9.

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

oh! This didn't work either. I did as you said. It's been more than 10 minutes now. :(

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Copy a couple of other pictures to your phone and check after 2-3 mins, if not, try:
tracker-control -r (as user/without devel-su)
then do
tracker-control -r (as root/with devel-su) and check your gallery..

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

unfortunately I have to ressurect this thread... all media files are in the phone, but none of them in gallery/video/music UI... tried all of these things, gallerybugx deb, tracker-control -r, n9qtweak patch (removing Pictures folder from IgnoredDir), but nothing helped - any idea?

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Did you check the output of:

Paste the output here...

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

huh, tried to take a screenshot, but got "Something went wrong. Screenshot could not be saved", it looks that something strange is happening... here's the manual c/p:

XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs"
XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs/Downloads"
XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs"
XDG_PUBLICSHARE_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs"
XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs/Documents"
XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs/Music"
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEO_DIR="$HOME/"

shall I try with the proper full path?

btw this morning lady in the copy office after printing some pdfs from my Nokia N9 in usb mass storage mode unplugged it without clicking the "eject..." before - could it be the reason?

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

only video is incorrect...

Change it to:

"$HOME/MyDocs/Videos"

after this do a reboot and check whether the change actually stuck or not...

The safely remove device thing is recommended but not a killer...If you are able to view them from a file manager in the device it means the emmc partition is able to mount itself...

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

thanks, but it didn't help... plus when I try to take a picture with the camera the picture is taken, I get all those status bars up and down on the taken picture with the date, name, and icons downthere, but immediately get "The camera is not responding. Try again or restart the device if the problem continues."... can't believe it...

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

screenshot can't be taken with MeeShot... when try to sent some file with bluetooth from my laptop the transfer can't be started and I get "The file transfer failed: forbidden"... disaster...

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Hmmm...

Have you checked tracker logs to see if anything is disturbing it?

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

sorry, but how to get tracker log file?

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

This is weird...Haven't seen this error before...

Can you plug your n9 into your PC then safely remove it?

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

thanks, mate - did it already, but nothing changed...

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

logs located at:

/home/user/.local/share/tracker/


Edit: Attach all the .log files here otherwise so I can have a look at them...

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

I've opened the browser, went to soem page, tried to download one picture, and the got: "Can't save r00A.jpg. make sure the device has enough memory. If enough memory is available and the problem persist, the device may not be working properly. Restart it and try downloading again."...

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Is your data storage ok? Check it from settings -> device -> data storage

I'm getting afraid that your flash memory might have hw issues...Give me the output of the above first...

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

pdf files can be transferred by bluetooth to my N9, and saved from net, txt too... jpgs and gifs can't... strange...

in tracker-miner.fs.log i get:
"24 Sep 2012, 16:14:36: Tracker-Critical **: Could not execute sparql query: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.Tracker1.SparqlError.I nternal: no such table: Resource"

in tracker-store.log I get:

Re: All media content not seen by N9
 

Nope nothing crucial in there...

Tell me about the storage space...
