Most audio files: title missing, file name shown instead [released]
For most of my audio files (MP3 and OGG alike), the Media Player does not show the title, although it's there in the file's metadata. Instead, I see the file name. Album, artist and cover art seem to be retrieved correctly for all files as far as I can tell. (I'm not 100% sure about cover art, as most of my audio files lack that so I wouldn't notice it missing...)
It's even more strange as the behaviour isn't even consistent with files that were ripped from one CD at the same time with the same application on my PC.
Any ideas?
I have no idea but the same problem. On other devices everything is working correctly with the same files.

ossi1967 ( 2014-01-06 21:07:48 +0200 )editGStreamer extracts the corrrect title tag. (gst-launch-0.10 -t filesrc location=/home/nemo/Music/Trackshittaz/Guuugarutz.mp3 ! id3demux ! fakesink) Tracker's got it all wrong. The "'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title'" property is 'Guuugarutz.mp3' instead of 'Guuugarutz' (tracker-info filename)
ossi1967 ( 2014-01-06 21:19:31 +0200 )editWhat format are the tags in? For ID3 there's at least 5 different variants in use. Maybe tracker doesn't support them all.
pycage ( 2014-01-07 22:51:17 +0200 )edit@pycage: The MP3 file are ID3 version 2.3.0, according to the file command. I have yet to find an MP3 that work. Most of my music is ogg vorbis. With ogg vorbis, few files work, most don't. As I said, even those I ripped from 1 CD in 1 batch behave differently.
