[Bug] Media lost all meta data with update to 2.1.1.26
asked 2017-09-15 23:13:31 +0200
After the update to 2.1.1.26, my media player (daedalus) on my Jolla 1 doesn't show any meta data like title, album etc. anymore. This is not an application bug, as I also cannot select any mp3 file as a ringtone anymore.
I did try tracker reset -r to no avail (db gets reset, indexing gets started, but this doesn't solve the problem). However, I notice that sometimes I see a warning appear that some code inside tracker would be unreachable.
This looks like the same problem discussed in this bug, but the workaround there (use gdb, start tracker-extract and continue on running into a breakpoint) isn't working for me and anyway, stepping over a problem with gdb certainly isn't an answer at all.
If there is anything else that you want me to provide (e.g. gdb output), please advise in the comments.
same here :(

I guess from the linked other bug report and this approach it's pretty clear the culprit is a bug in the meta data extraction barfing on "broken" or unexpected data.
