So erm,
I did a clean install of PR1.3 over the weekend. What's the deal with the media player not showing my album art?
The only things I've changed are:
/home/user/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg (changed are the bold printed lines, default lines above it, commented out)
I also did a tracker reset before with a simple script using root:
trackerreset.sh
Nothing special really, both worked perfectly in PR 1.2.
So, is album art not being loaded in PR 1.3 a known issue? Is it a tracker or media player issue? Is there any way to fix it myself?
edit: Had another go at it. It works now, since I added my album dir to the WatchDirectoryRoots list. Probably fixed it doing that.
edit2: Not too sure now, did a reset again and it seems the tracker now doesn't rebuild the album cover art anymore, like it hangs, stops, just takes very long, or doesn't (re)process the dir at all anymore. Maybe there's some ghost data still around that hasn't been reset, making the media player/tracker think album covers are already indexed/shown, when in fact it has been reset. The album covers do show up in the "Photos" app, but not in the media player album view. Something tells me if I move the albums elsewhere, cover art will rebuild again, once.
Anyone?

My advice, don't try restarting tracker too much....You could also try the application "tracker-cfg" to see if it makes a difference, as I'm gonna do that right now.

Just noticed that you have "WatchDirectoryRoots=" two times in your code...
That might be your problem...as I understand tracker expects only one
"WatchDirectoryRoots=" statement.

Ok, played some more, did a "find / -name *.db", which lists all .db files. Backed up my complete rootfs and optfs first. Then, I removed only the following files, manually:
/var/tmp/tracker-user/cache.db
/home/user/.thumbnails/meta.db
/home/user/.local/share/tracker/data/common.db
After that my trackerreset.sh script gave the following output, note the nag about the missing database file and the message after (might be it, not 100% sure, one of the other .db files might as well have been the cause of all my problems):
Now album art is shown again, after a rebuild :). (And so are the thumbnails elsewhere.) The above worked for me, try at your own risk/backup first.

my script looks like this now (supposed to be run as root):
/usr/bin/trackerreset.sh

After a while of using the n900 desktop become irresponsive and I have to restart the device to get rid of the problem, though i can use any app by tapping app menu and also I can change the desktop page. Also the status does work but only the desktop not responding. Anyone having this problem ???
Any solution ???
Thanks.
i use my skype a lot on my n900, sometimes just skype to skype (w & w/o video) and sometimes skype-out... but after pr 1.3 i've noticed a bug that sometimes freezes the call, and when i hit the red button to hang-up, a white-noise still lingers until i restart the phone (if video was on, also the red light of the video stays on)...
so i was wondering if anyone having the same issue? and if anyone knows how to prevent this from happening, or once it happened, if there is a way to kill the process without having to restart the whole thing?
thanks in advance...
