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.

And make sure you've shut down media player before running the command.

hey, i have the same problem but the thing is that when i try to start tracker it shows the message "failed" and it wont find any of my songs :s what should i do?

The "tracker-processes -r" worked well for me. Thanks for this thread (and a nice search function on talk).

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.

reset the tracker-processes but to no effect. media player still cant find any of the files. pr1.2 never game me so much trouble. though the battery life was a pain in the ...

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


just install cuteExplorer

nd goto following path:

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

nd delete all 3 files nd thn delete common.db file from data folder.

after doing that restart ur mobile nd start media player.

it will take approximately 3 minutes to refresh media player.


notes:

.local is a hidden directory so just click on the status bar where cute explorer is written nd click on show hidden.

so this is very simple way to refresh ur n900.

Ctrl+Shift+X
tracker-processes -r

That's all you need to do, no program required.

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

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.
