Title:
Media removals aren't detected sometimes
Status in mediascanner:
Won't Fix
Status in mediascanner package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
On a few occasions I had mediascanner not pick up removals from the
~/Videos directory (when either removing via mtp or directly on the
device with rm), when that happened, the mediascanner scope still
provided search results for the now-deleted items, and even a device
reboot didn't remove them from the database.
Fix for this could be twofold:
1) figure out why mediascanner didn't pick up the deletions (it was running,
so it should have picked them up)
2) if it really does miss a removal (because it crashed at the time of
removal or wasn't running at all), rescan on reboot should remove the stale
items
As a side note this happened to me when one of the media files I had
in ~/Videos was a .wmv for which there were no codecs on the device
and the log had some warnings/errors about that (incorrect error
handling perhaps?)
