MediaBox doesn't have to rely on tracker. You can browse to folders in the MediaBox file browser and long-press the folder item. Then select "Scan for Media" to have the stuff scanned manually. If tracker happens to find this stuff later, and it was already scanned by MediaBox, nothing bad happens. You can also disable automatic (tracker-based) scanning in MediaBox if you wish to only scan manually.
Just wanted to chime in...this worked perfectly for me.
tracker-processes -r wiped everything out
and then starting up media player seemed to kick off trackerd process of rescanning my SD card. I closed media player, and then reopened...and THEN it gave me the message "Retrieving information on the new media files. Estimated time remaining: 04:44" and started counting down.
I had this with mine too, and I must have had little patience LOL
What I ended up doing was leaving the tracker process running (as a user) overnight, then in the morning I rebooted the phone and opened Media Player and all my media was back
previous attempts I had only left it running about half an hour which for me clearly wasnt long enough
I've been having the same problems: running "tracker-processes -r" (as root) used to reset the database and force a re-scan. Somewhere along the line, it stopped working.
Memorycard (internal or external) corrupted?
Try to fsck the memorycard.
A faulty video/image file, which can not be processed
by the thumbnailer?
Open xterm and enter the top command. If the thumbnailerd
consumes all processortime, it has some problems
with a media file.
