Songs are treated differently: some are not found, some are.

Hi!

I have been transcoding my whole music collection to opus format, using ffmpeg on my laptop. I've put my whole music collection on my Jolla, and only 1/3 of the songs are "correctly" indexed, with duration, title, album, artist.

This implies that 2/3 of my songs are indexed only by filename, and so I can find them under "All songs" in jolla-mediaplayer, and play them, but they have no album, nor artist, nor title, nor duration (which defaults to 0:00, afaics).

Running tracker-extract manually gives correct information for the non-indexed songs (I'm taking Rammstein as an example), but when running tracker-info, this information is not saved, and so not usable on mediaplayer.

Eg. tracker-extract on another (working) opus file

Also: is there a reason that we're using tracker 1.1.4, instead of something more recent, like 1.8?

EDIT: I have had this exact same issue (without the debugging information :( ) with flac files before. Some indexed, some didn't.

EDIT2: .opus files are .ogg containers (the same file format), but instead of Vorbis codec, it uses the opus codec.
