Bug: albums don't disappear after deleted [answered]
asked 2013-12-25 13:44:20 +0200
In the Media app, some albums are still listed, even though they are no longer on the device. If I click on one of these albums they are simply empty.
Steps to reproduce:
- Put a bad album on the device (or in my case, the SD card)
- Have tracker index it
- Check media app: go to artists, tap the artist, album is there
- Realize you don't like the music on that album, so delete it (over SSH or just plug the SD card in a computer)
- Go back to music app, go to artists, tap the artist, abum is still there
NOTES:
- I could only reproduce this if there remains at least some other music on the device by the artist whose album we just deleted
- Reboot or restarting the media app doesn't help
- Going wild on the terminal,
tracker-control -rsgets rid of the bad album - I'm doing this on 1.0.2.5
Maybe there should be a "rebuild the database" option or it could be automatic.
