tracker-extract: "Extract module returned no resource for audio/flac"
Last modified: 2016-11-30 08:08:27 UTC
Today, I realized that tracker-extract is unable to extract metadata from flac files on my disk. gnome-music does show all my other music (mp3, ogg vorbis) but no flag files. Using the desktop search to look for song metadata known to be in flac files also comes up with no results. As a first step, I set tracker's log verbosity to debug, reset my tracker database, and the log comes up with messages like the following for every flac file found: tracker-extract[7232]: Extracting metadata for 'file:///home/<user>/Music/***/***/***.flac' tracker-extract[7232]: MIME type passed to us as 'audio/flac' tracker-extract[7232]: Using /usr/lib/tracker-1.0/extract-modules/libextract-flac.so... tracker-extract[7232]: Extract module returned no resource for audio/flac I'm on ArchLinux which currently has tracker version 1.10.1+3+g0e839d0-1 in its "extra" repos. I also reported this issue downstream: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/51993
Downstream has fixed the issue, it was possibly related to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=774062 . This report can be closed. Sorry for the noise.
