I am using an owncloud-installation at owndrive.com. There I have two addressbooks which perfectly sync themselves to Android and Thunderbird. However in Kaddressbook only a fraction of the owncloud contacts is shown. Unfortunately I can not count the missing ones since neither owncloud nor Kaddressbook seems to count the addresses it shows with the current filter. The .xsession-errors shows many of the following errors akonadi_davgroupware_resource_18(6104)/akonadiserializer (addressee) Akonadi::SerializerPluginAddressee::deserialize: Empty addressee object! and akonadi_nepomuk_feeder(6120) ItemQueue::processBatch: failed to fetch item or item without payload: 414930 At the moment I can not determine a rule which could help to find the bug(s). I guess it would be helpful to have more debug output. If there is a way to compile it with more debug info I am willing to test this. I could also ask owndrive people if they are able to give access to their debug, if this could be helpful. I put this as major, because in current condition the owncloud-syncing-feature is useless. Reproducible: Always
I just took a closer look at the contacts which are not synced and came closer to the problem. The problem seems to be related to the size of the contacts which is the problem. I noticed that only a relative few of the contacts which are still shown in Kaddressbook have a contact photo. So I took a closer look and discovered that those have a contact photo in a very small resolution. I then made a few tests. Created a contact within in Owncloud with just a name. This is perfectly synced to Kaddressbook. Then I added a large picture as a contact photo from within KDE and from Owncloud. After syncing the contact is not shown in Kadressbook anymore, but the contact still is in Owncloud (with the picture). After removing the picture from within Owncloud the contacts reappear, but only after restarting Akonadi. Just resyncing does not help. This procedure also helps to make existing contacts reappear. I would like to empathize that I believe it is the size of the contact and not the fact that there is a contact photo which seems to cause the problem. Unfortunately I could not find where Akonadi caches the contacts which might have given some indication of the size problem. I hope this information helps to find the cause of the bug.
Thanks Mark for your work. Could you explain what you mean by 'large picture'? Are you talking about 500kB, 1MB, 5MB? I'd like to test this myself and try to pinpoint it.

Since they are not synced to KDE it is hard to tell, but if you tell me where KDE stores the elements synced from Owncloud I can tell you the minimum size that works.
I run my own owncloud, too. Version 5.0.5 (latest). I also run KDE 4.10.3. owncloud syncs to my Android phone alright. I don't see any contacs at all. If I click "Contacs"'s Folder properties it says: "Content: 128 objects" (it is correct, 128 is the exact amount of contacts I have in owncloud) "Size: 0 B" It was working for me before (but I can't say which KDE version and which owncloud). Hard to tell if it's this bug or not. I have those messages in .xsession-errors, too, though: akonadi_nepomuk_feeder(3703) ItemQueue::indexBatch: failed to fetch item or item without payload: 9596
In my case (openSUSE 12.3, KDE 4.10.3), no contacts appear, the resource icon turned into a brown book, and multiple messages akonadiserializer (addressee) Akonadi::SerializerPluginAddressee::deserialize: Empty addressee object! appear when the resource loads. When I upgraded from 4.10.2 to 4.10.3, all contacts were visible for some days.
This might be somehow related to this bug? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316625
All of a sudden, all contacts appeared today! Also, few have corrupted content in some fields. Go figure.
If I read the symptoms correctly then this has been fixed in 4.10.4. Feel free to reopen if this still happens for you.
For me many more contacts appeared after a recent update in Kubuntu. But still not all contacts appear in KDE which appear perfectly in Owncloud and Android. At the moment I have no indication which is the criteria for a contact not appearing. But I noticed also another bug to reappear: X-SPOUSESNAME and other fields appears as "own field". I would help debugging, if I would be giving more information on how to debug, I have reopened the bug, but I am not sure if I should reopen a new one instead.
Is this still a bug?
I need to check. I have stopped using Kaddressbook because of these problems. A few months ago they still existed. I wont be able to tell instantly, I will just notice when a contact is missing. I have over 1000 contacts, which makes it a little difficult to count and compare since neither Kaddressbook nor Owncloud have a simple counter.
