And nope, it's not in mass storage mode. Is anyone that daft.
Sorry to go off topic but out of curiosity how is it bad?

a) martinj88: when in mass storage, volumes are dismounted from phone and mounted on PC. As a result, media player shows "zero videos, zero songs"

b) Followed Bratag's advice and (for me) it worked but the device slowed to a crawl until i powered down, removed battery then powered up again. Just saying, if it happens to you, battery might set it straight

my media also pretty much dispersed except for a few movies and mp3's. it frustrated the hell out of my because i could find it in file manager and click on it and it would play. the media player just couldn't see it. (my media is on a couple of 8gb micro sd cards. anyway i removed the card restarted restarted with out the card tyred every combination i could think of - no luck.

i then used another card for transferring some data and when i replaced my media card all of a sudden the media player found all my media again. (my media is not stored on the device but on SD cards so slightly different problem. )

Chances are the device slowed to a crawl because the tracker was indexing all your media - especially possible if you have a lot of media.

You can check this by doing a top command in the xterm and seeing what app is chewing up the cpu.

Will kill the process and remove all dbs.

Then run

/etc/osso-af-init/tracker.sh start

That might help.
I had a similar problem and tried the above commands, but the terminal says:

'Starting tracker.....initializing trackerd...
Segmentation fault
failed!'

Any clues what I might be doing wrong here? I'm a bit of an Xterminal noob, so I might have done something incorrectly that is crashingly obvious...

Same problem here, nothing showing in Media Player or Photos apps. When running suggested command of "/etc/osso-af-init/tracker.sh start", I get the following error:
Starting Tracker...Initializing trackerd...
Writing default configuration to file:'/root/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg
Segmentation fault
failed!


Any ideas? Would love it if this problem did not require a reflash..

Thanks

I'm guessing that might be part of the problem. On my N900, there is no /root/.config folder, let alone tracker.cfg. Maybe it doesn't expect to be root, and crashes?

I always restart tracker by running the media player.

I'm having this same problem today as well. Did you find a fix for it?

Not seeing any musiv, video or photos
