Bug Description

No matter which directory I point it at (all containing tagged mp3s), amaroK fails to find any files. The
collection tab is empty and the status bar reads "0 Tracks".

I think you sometimes have to restart amarok for the music to appear in the collection.

Yeah, I did manage to get it "working" by doing that.

I had this bug with Amarok 1.4 on Dapper fully updated as of 2006-05-19. I resolved the bug and got my collection functioning again by navigating to the ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok directory and deleting these files:

collection.db
collection_scan.files
collection_scan.log
(and a number of other log files)

After that, Amarok was able to rebuild my collection correctly and load it into the collection sidebar. Maybe it was a database corruption or something? I'm using SQLite.

I had that happen to me when I installed amarok 1.4 on dapper today as well. I will try deleting those files. It probably is some sort of database corruption. I have never had this problem before (the bug is from a year ago, a much older version of amarok)

Deleting the collection.db* files from ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok fixed it. I'm using SQLite as well.
