Hello! I have been trying for a while to get my music indexed by the tracker, but it doesn't seem to be working properly. I copied my directory of ~2500 songs onto my pda. When it didn't index them all, I ran tracker-processes -r as instructed in http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...hlight=tracker. It indexed more of the music than it did before, but according to tracker-stats, it always stops at 1652 songs indexed, even after re-running tracker-processes -r. I have not been able to find a pattern in what it decides to index. There is no sign of failure in the log files.

Do you know what is going on?

Thank you

its normal dot worry

okay, I think it is my ogg files, but I have ogg-support installed. Do you know why it would just refuse to index these?

ogg-support means this OS supports ogg
doesn't mean the preinstalled media player supports too

ogg-support says it allows the tracker to index oggs, though. I tried reinstalling it, but now all of the tracker-* commands give me a segfault. Hmm...

default media player doesn't support for sure

Look at this file:
/home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg

Maybe two solutions:

Look for something like:
1- # List of directory roots NOT to index and NOT to watch (separator=
2. "Or something linked to OGG files"

After you make changes on file and save it, do in x-terminal:
tracker-processes -r

I've done something similar ti get an workarround with other type off files on media player.

Attention: Try it at your own risk, i'm not a linux expert or programmer, just a curious guy that loves to put the hands on it.

Hope it can be usefull.

I now have this problem, my 3000 odd Ogg files are listed as Other rather than Music, so don't appear in Media Player.

So I only see 26 music files, but those 3172 are my Ogg music files I am sure, and they WERE visible originally, but after tracker-processes -r they don't come back.

Any ideas?
