Version: 2.0.90 (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package My collection is on an NTFS partition mounted using ntfs3g and fuse.ntfs Sometimes the ntfs partition is marked for checking and remains unmounted. If I start Amarok, it shows the entire playlist as one single list without information and can't play it. Which is perfectly fine. But if I fix the filesystem and remount it, then start Amarok, it refuses to fix the issue even though all the files are available now. All tags and metadata continues to be missing although I can play the files. The only way to fix this is to just delete all the amarok related configuration files and collection and recreate the playlist, which can be really really annoying. The expected behaviour is that the playlist is refreshed and recategorized.
Ok. Please tell us, if you only rescan collection information are missing too? Or after rescan (you mustn't delete configuration folder) collection is OK?
I tried some more things. The collection doesn't have to be deleted manually but the process is still tedious. 1. Uncheck my music folders from the collection. Let amarok scan empty. Then restart amarok. 2. Check the music folders again. Let is scan collection. Restart amarok. 3. Now load the playlist. Then all the tags and so on are fine and the playlist is displayed properly Thanks.
Ok. It's better then delete configuration directory but I think it's not a solve for this problem. Lets wait if anybody confirm you bug.
Nikhil, you should upgrade to Amarok 2.1, or even 2.1.1 it has been released quite some time ago.
yes, i did upgrade to 2.1.0, bug still persists. I haven't tried 2.1.1 though
Changed status to confirmed.

I don't think Bug 192114 is a duplicate of this one. In that bug the tracks would play if you hit play after each track. In this one it appears that they do not play at all until you refresh the collection.
the tracks play once the partition is remounted. But the id3 tags are not refreshed, so the entire playlist is sorted under one album/artist, and the filenames are shown as titles. And I have to refresh the collection multiple times before it gets all the tags right.
*** Bug 201911 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I can confirm this one. My collection itself was gone and playlist all flat with no grouping and time 0
Is this still valid with current git?
(In reply to comment #9) > filenames are shown as titles. And I have to refresh the collection multiple > times before it gets all the tags right. Refresh how? If you mean that you have to rescan the collection multiple times, what you really need to do is quite and reopen Amarok after the first scan. The collection browser not refreshing properly after a scan is a longstanding bug.
This should be solved in Amarok 2.2.1, besides the bug mentioned in comment #13
