    N900 Media Player not listing Flash video files/videos [SOLVED]

    RenaldoTT | # 1 | 2010-11-23, 17:03 | Report

    I barely use the Media Player that came with the N900 so I can't say when this started but I have my videos stored in MyDocs/.videos and they are .mp4 format and .flv format however the .flv ones no longer show up in media player. They do work though, I tested them, just they are't listed.

    I used this command in hope my database would be refreshed and it was but still no .flv files listed.
    tacker-processes -r

    Can any one offer a solution?
    Thank You

    SOLUTION
    Get rooted > sudo gainroot
    Exter Command > update-tracker-ontology -c Videos -a video/x-flv

    As I understand it, the tracker does not index .flv files by default since it's not really geared to play those without add on decoders.

    Try editing your tracker.conf and looking for file extensions that it searches for and you can add .flv

    Well the thing is my tracker did list .flv files before but I just went to the media player to show someone a video and it was not there. I do have decoders though, I did try editing tracker.conf I looked here /usr/share/tracker but there's no such file or any there that I've seen I could edit to include .flv

    Any further thoughts?
