For some reason (like many) media player lost all my media and refuses to see it

I have searched these forums and come across the tracker-processess and trackerd -r commands

the tracker-processess runs fine and deletes the databases, but trackerd -r is still running from last night with a starting log in xterm

when trackerd first ran CPU went up to about 70-80% and top process was videos, then after a few minutes CPU dropped to about 10% with pulseaudio using about 2% of that consistently

I have approx 40 albums and about 20 films on the n900 (memory is almost full LOL) so how long should I expect the trackerd process to finish and my media start showing up again?

I have over 20GB of music from my iTunes library and although I've never timed it specifically, I'd say that it would normally reindex in less than 30 minutes, perhaps even less. I have 2GB free on MyDocs.

If I run media player whilst reindexing, it would usually tell me how long
it thought that the tracker process might run for.

Thanks fnordian

I have seen it before come up saying it will take x minutes re-indexing but it never actually does re-index

1. How is the memory on your rootfs? Do you use diskusage to check the other memories?
2. Did you try a reboot?

Yes tried a reboot too

memory is low on rootfs down to 22mb

Interestingly though I left it running overnight last night and shortly after starting this thread I started media player and all my media is back LOL

I guess all the other times I tried it I just didnt leave it running long enough

Well, I have some 100 albums and adding some albums takes up to some minutes. I wonder if 22 Mb in rootfs is enough for tracker? I hope a maemo expert can answer on that question, for me it's just a hunge..

That can't be the problem... You can search for 'tracker' on this forum for more information, I have no solution, other than may be loosing some (extra devel?) apps..

Yeah, I did do a search and im guessing in my instance I was just too impatient to let it run its course, but all is ok now

Im wondering if it was because im my previous attempts at trying to get mkv files to play I uninstalled the extra codecs, and installed different media players too and uninstalled them and re-installed them along with the codecs and somewhere along the way indexing got messed up

If you delete var/tmp/tracker-user/cache.d this seems to force a reset. Worked for me with a similar issue.
