Hi,

I recently tried to change the ringtone in my home made ambience, but when looking under the music tab, I only see a limited number of files. These files are all located in on specific folder on the SD card (/media/sdcard/5ABD-14DC/playow/music), but not all files in that folder show up. Nothing in any of the subfolders show up either. There seems to be no apparent connection between the files shown. I can see all files in the media player, but only 6 in the ringtone chooser.

Thanks Rasmus

EDIT: I have tried both mp3 and ogg files. (Possibly others, but I don't remember exactly whats on the SD card.) Same result.

EDIT^2: I noticed that all files showing up in the ringtone picker have lengths (according to the picker) of more than a few seconds. All (I believe) the files that do not show up have lengths of 0s in the media player, despite being up to several minutes long when played.

Try putting in /home/nemo/Music as don't think that you have to go as far as this link text in current firmwares.

I already tried moving files around in the phone memory folders (/home/nemo/Music and /home/nemo/Ringtones). Some of my current sounds are located in these folders, and will show up as missing if I move them to another folder. However, they are not available for selection even though they are currently selected.

You could add more information about what kind of files we are playing around with?

Reset tracker.

-r, --hard Kill all Tracker processes and remove all databases

-e, --soft Same as --hard but the backup & journal are restored after restart

-c, --config Remove all configuration files so they are re-generated on next start

I usually use

tracker reset -e

I already tried fmotl's suggestion once, which removed some files from the list. However, I tried it again and got some files to show up, but not all. Also the length of the music pieces seem to be completely off (3.5min -> 11s). Nothing that the music player says is 0s long shows up in the ringtone picker.
