Public bug reported:
The attached archive contains 7000 "songs: of 1-second silence. Untar
the archive into the music folder. The mediscanner will take several
minutes to index the collection.
Start the music app while the mediascanner is running. I'm seeing
different kinds of errors every time I kill the music app and start it
again while the mediscanner is indexing.
Sometimes, it's an instant crash.
Sometimes, I get the "No music found" page.
Sometimes, I get the song list, but the song list is empty and will not
fill.
Sometimes, I get this in the application log:
Error finalising statement: Could not finalize statement: database is locked
Failed to retrieve rows: database is locked
And this:
Failed to start a new media-hub player session:
org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes
include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security
policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection
was broken.
Failed to create a new media player backend. Video playback will not function.
Could not finish contructing new AalMediaPlayerService instance since
m_hubPlayerSession is NULL.
Basically, the application is completely unusable and broken while
indexing is in progress. Once mediascanner finishes indexing, things
behave normally again.
This makes for a seriously bad user experience when someone inserts a
flash card with their music collection and, almost certainly, will
immediately go to the music app to start playing things.
