Added 19 gigs of music, Updating library for over 24 hours...
 
Just as the title says, I dragged and dropped about 19gb's of music onto my n9, and the music player has been "Updating Library" for over a solid 24 hours. Is this normal behavior? Should I just let it be and wait it out? Is there an issue with how long it's been taking so far? Seems a little excessive to me, just want to make sure thats to be expected(oh and I want to utilize my Music player, of course :)).
Thanks for the help in advance!

there a number of threads for this issue... In fact so many I don't remember which one to refer you to... The above posted thread is actually not a good one to solve the issue...

best would be to PM Arie and ask him to help you out otherwise get the tracker logs and post them here so we can guide you...

This must be a problem with PR1.3 (see the posted threats), because on PR1.0 I added ca. 11Gb of music and tracker needed about a half hour for updating.

Edit:
The music was trasferred in mass mode (no sync).

updated my 9gb fairly quickly, I wasn't stopping the time but in terms of minutes. usually use rsync to keep it in sync with my desktop.

The information you want is in /home/user/.config/tracker, the log files will tell you which files don't agree with your tracker....

Thanks guys! I hadn't really looked into the matter as much as I guess I should have, the quick couple of searches I made last night must not have had the right keywords in them because that thread Scharel linked to didn't come up. It was a long day at work, but perhaps I'll putz around with it later tonight. Hopefully I can get it to work out......thanks again!

Okay, got it working. Followed Manatus' step by step on the linked to thread (Tracker Problems (pr1.3)).

Started Music player, and while it performed the "Updating Library" task, opened terminal and ran

tracker-control -S

basically over and over until it gave me a "system miner is disabled by the plugin" error message. Then I would

tail -n 100 /var/log/syslog

and scroll up the list until I got a "tracker-miner-fs" followed by whatever album was giving me problems. It turned out to be 4(?) different albums all together, all of the artists starting in "D" , so I got discouraged quickly thinking "Oh great, its only at "D" and I'm getting all these ****ing errors already. Might just copy over one album at a time until It works properly". But thankfully, after those 4, all seems to be working well! Can open Music player, no problem, and scroll through all my music now. Thanks again guys!

Here's a little off topic question regarding another godamn annoyance of pr1.3......

Has the issue with not being able to save/add any words to the custom dictionary been solved yet(as in the words stay saved after a reboot of the device)?What an absolute nightmare that is...

Take it easy guys
