When I start elisa I get: <Unknown File>: QML QQuickLayoutAttached: Binding loop detected for property "preferredHeight" org.kde.elisa.indexers.manager: Local file system indexer is inactive org.kde.elisa.indexers.manager: Baloo indexer is unavailable org.kde.elisa.indexers.manager: Baloo indexer is inactive MediaPlayList::setPersistentState QMap(("currentTrack", QVariant(int, 0))("playList", QVariant(QVariantList, ()))("randomPlay", QVariant(bool, false))("repeatPlay", QVariant(bool, false))) file:///usr/lib/qt/qml/org/kde/kirigami.2/templates/InlineMessage.qml:136: TypeError: Value is undefined and could not be converted to an object org.kde.elisa.indexers.manager: Baloo indexer is available org.kde.elisa.indexers.manager: Baloo indexer is active ... but nothing else happens. Elisa worked correctly in the past on this system. If I had to guess, it might have stopped working after either KF 5.62, Qt 5.13.1 or Plasma 5.16.90.
Can confirm this bug. It appears the local file indexer is non-functional. Baloo indexer can be made to work with it by editing the baloo configuration file ~/.config/baloofilerc and including additional folders by adding a line like: folders[$e]=/path/to/music/library/ Then restarting baloo and forcing it to scan with balooctl check
See https://phabricator.kde.org/D24303 with a fix for that bug. Sorry for the delay.
Git commit e535ef7ed125010d7832ed68112728688b92a24f by Matthieu Gallien. Committed on 08/10/2019 at 15:47. Pushed by mgallien into branch '0.4'. ensure that baloo detection works Summary: connect to the signal used to detect baloo earlier such that we detect it correctly at start Thanks to Martin Steigerwald for the report on stable branch (but also reproducible on master) CCMAIL: martin@lichtvoll.de Test Plan: if no elisa files exist (database, kconfig and Qt settings) baloo is detected and used to get audio files without it, nothing happen at start Reviewers: #elisa, astippich, ngraham, jguidon Reviewed By: #elisa, ngraham Subscribers: mthw Differential Revision: https://phabricator.kde.org/D24303 M +17 -0 autotests/mediaplaylisttest.cpp M +8 -1 src/abstractfile/abstractfilelisting.cpp M +1 -1 src/baloo/localbaloofilelisting.cpp M +4 -0 src/databaseinterface.cpp M +5 -0 src/file/localfilelisting.cpp M +16 -4 src/filescanner.cpp M +9 -17 src/musiclistenersmanager.cpp https://commits.kde.org/elisa/e535ef7ed125010d7832ed68112728688b92a24f
