Open Media Player--Music - does not reconize music/media

[GaryM0101]

On leste chimaera-devel main contrib non-free lima pinephone

OMP does not see music/media files, tried several things:

-Added music to /home/user/Music
-Added music to /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds
-Ran tracker index on both directories and gave it 24 hours to take effect
-Added the extras-testing repo to try the latest OMP

Installed CMUS to verify it could see the music/media and it does.

Thanks for the report. Can you share the following:

$ gsettings get org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files index-recursive-directories

and:

$ gsettings get org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files index-single-directories

[MerlijnWajer]

On my device there is an entry for &MUSIC which I think according to /home/user/.config/user-dirs.dirs should resolve to: $HOME/MyDocs/.sounds, so it should work per your example.

This is what I have for defined in the user-dirs.dirs, XDG_MUSIC_DIR="$HOME/MyDocs/.sounds"
Is this correct?

[GaryM0101]

Here is what gsettings is telling me.

gsettings get org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files index-recursive-directories
['&DESKTOP', '&DOCUMENTS', '&MUSIC', '&PICTURES', '&VIDEOS']

gsettings get org.freedesktop.Tracker.Miner.Files index-single-directories
['$HOME', '&DOWNLOAD']
