Re: [Tracker] [Announce] Tracker 0.6.4
Thanks for the tip. Using gstreamer was what was required. It'd less confusing to an end user if tracker detected these missing dependencies and stuck a warning. I saw in the output of configure that video searching was enabled with xine, nothing about audio and since I was using Beagle previously which didn't complain, I assumed that audio extraction was enabled. Also, when I forcibly selected the trackerapplet option, it'd have been helpful if configure aborted with the missing dependency. I went through the config.log and found out the dependency and installed it. Things are working well now. I couldn't get tracker-0.6.3 to be useful. It never returned me any search results after a while. This version is faring better.

[Tracker] Tracker and other indexers coexisting
Hi, When I was merging Ubuntu's tracker from Debian's, I thought about the patch which disables trackerd in KDE. I thought that shouldn't happen, as if a KDE user installs tracker he will expect tracker to work out of the box. I discussed it with Sebastien Bacher and he agreed with me that it wasn't optimal. But he explained to me (and I agree with it) that there shouldn't be more than one indexer running at the same time, so it's a workaround for [1]. But as Michael Biebl explains in [2] with his user case, this is not the best thing to do. But we need to do something. You don't want to have tracker, strigi, beagle... running at the same time. So I was wondering whether the XESAM spec specifies some way to solve this, or at least a way for indexers to say they are indexing. If the first is done, that would be great. However if it isn't but the second option is implemented, tracker could check whether there are other indexers running, and if so, stop running. What do you think about it?

When I forced tracker to index only the mp3 directory, it seems to work fine. Without using the -i option, I've specified the mp3 directory as an additional watched directory. Is that the problem ? I did see tracker spit out some messages about working on some files in the mp3 folder when I started trackerd without the -i option.
