i decided to delete all my songs from my n900 to start fresh and to sort out all my album cover art.
but the media player is still showing songs and when i delete them, they reappear when media player is restarted.
the songs wont play and show an error message 'unable to find media file' (as the files were deleted)
and now if i put new songs on it show duplicates etc
it's really annoying me that i can't fix this, not even when it's plugged into my laptop.
also i can't seem to sync with windows media player anymore.

anyone have any ideas??

pleeeeaaaseee

reset tracker
I think it was:
tracker - r
form xterm and it deletes all media databases and makes them again. Reboot also could help thing.

Code:
tracker-processes -r
as ordinary user in terminal. Starting the media player will restart
the tracker processes after a reset like above.

Also be wary of various threads on the forum that say tracker-process instead of tracker processes. The message authors should edit those posts.

i have the same problem, but i'm kind of stranger with xterminal. Could anyone explain me how to type in tracker-processes-r, because it says:
-sh:tracker-processes-r: not found

I'm having the same problem as tamps883. get the same tracker error, and neither MediaPlayer or Media box will index my songs. Although mine is a n800 running Diablo, this is the only forum I've found where someone has posted the same issues.

Code:
tracker-processes -r
there is a space between tracker-processes and -r

i resolved what i did wrong: i didn't write "root" when i started xterm (mean i'm noob) but after i did that, nothing happend
P.S mine problem was that wrong album cover appeared when i put on a new album. Shouldn't tracker reset solve that ?
