Hello!

I installed SFOS yesterday on my XA2. Really great OS!

I also found the rsync on the Command Line(i'm in love :-D) so i synced my Music from my NAS to my Phone. Its much to big for the internal storage. so i put it on the encripted SD Card(256GB).

But the media App shows only 0 Titles... Is the encription the problem? Any other hints?

I also tried to rescan the media database with the tools in the settings. didnt work for me :(

Greetings MadMe :)

bump:
occurring on Xperia X / 3.0.2.8 and 3.0.3.10 as well, occurring also on Xperia XA2 / 3.1, 3.2 and 3.2.1 with Media and Gallery

Just a guess, the SD card is not on the paths indexed by the tracker. Maybe try https://openrepos.net/content/velox/talefish for the time being?

That makes sense... i already found Muuzik! player and works great for me :)

Sometimes a restart helps after removing the DB with Sailfish Utils from settings -> utilities

i just kick started it with:

tracker index -f /media/sdcard/XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXXX/Music/*

must say extremly fast... not even a minute... on my android phones it was about 30 Minutes

@MadMe86 How much you have music in your sdcard? In short; I'm just curious about speed comparison android vs sailfish.

Hi @MadMe86!! I had the same issue as you, media app didn't showed music from my encrypted sd card, but the same was happening with Gallery app: it didn't showed images. I used tracker index to solve it:

tracker index -f /run/media/nemo/<card_name>/*

Probably the tracker path settings patch (patchmanager web-catalogue) will help. There I explicitely inserted my media directories in "included recursive directories"

To encrypt music is dangerous except if you have music that nobody else has. It is a basic rule NEVER encrypt something that everybody could get her hands on. If you have a Madona song encrypted and with whatever means the attacker knows that or guesses it, then when you know what is the result of the decryption is, then is just a matter of time to get the encryption keys. Cracking Enigma is a good example of this. the allied knew that: - A encryption rule was that character could never have the same encrypted result - A signal operator due to lazyness and inattention crypted twice exactly the same text with a missallignement in the coding wheels -> bletchey house discovered it and it was the door open for "easy" cracking. - The weather forecast for the nothern Atlantic where redacted on the basis of a kriegsmarine Handbook that felt in allied hands as they could save it from a sinking U-boot. Added to the fact that the forecast where allways made on the same coordinate quadrant system, it was an "easy" Game to get it. Turing helped also a bit :=)

So you've been warned: compress text before encrypting, if you have to relay text ( erratum data) put some additional recognisable rubbish in it or paraphrase it. It is basic!!!! and frankly encrypt music what is the use just wasting cpu-time

Interesting, that's a new thought.

but you sound a bit too alarming for my taste. think practical: do you know how much efford it is to partition an sdcard just so you can encrypt only the really sensitive part of your data on it?

Also: am I wrong to think that individuallly encoded (custom encoder, custom bitrate) and tagged files (cover file manually added) have a unique encrypted equivalent. what are the odds of cracking these?

this is absolutely doesnt make any sense, since almost every data/file type have verifyable headers, also with hashes, to check integrity of data.

ced: you'll find that your argument is valid in the times of WW2 only. Otherwise, there is nothing dangerous about encrypting music. If you are worried about leakages, you can have an encrypted file within an encrypted partition.
