STEPS TO REPRODUCE 0. Set up network samba share using systemd .automount and .mount units, working fine with network music directory mounted locally as (not important so I make something up here) ~/me/music/. 1. cmd: balooctl resume ....resumes normally and indexing seems to progress by viewing with cmd: balooctl status 2. cmd: balooctl status shows the indexing is stuck with files left to index - ie indexing appears frozen at a particular flac file after successfully indexing x1000's of other flac files. 3. after a while a TagLib error is automatically printed at the command line. The error seems to vary slightly each time but all errors are similar to "TagLib: MPEG::Properties::read() -- Could not find a valid last MPEG frame in the stream. " 4. interestingly, the supposed successful indexed flac file metadata of the successfully indexed flac's do not show up in (eg) "artist" or "album" columns in Dolphin. OBSERVED RESULT - baloo stops indexing, stuck with a remaining number of files to index when balooctl status is entered in terminal - metadata from flac files reported by balooctl status as successfully indexed do not show up in (eg) "artist" or "album" columns in Dolphin. - no music library appears in Elisa EXPECTED RESULT baloo should finish its indexing work and following finish should return the following with the command "balooctl status": Baloo File Indexer is running Indexer state: Idle (Powersave) Total files indexed: (some number) Files waiting for content indexing: 0 Files failed to index: 0 Current size of index is (some number) MiB - music library metadata should appear in Elisa and Dolphin (does not do that with this bug). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.15.2-zen (Garuda Linux distribution of Arch Linux) KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.88.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 taglib version: 1.12-1 from archlinux "extra" repo ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I have tried this under both wayland and x11 with the same/similar taglib error results. I have had to swap to the "index files directly" option in Elisa which is sad because that's not the indexing method intention of Elisa as I understand it. I have filed a similar report under "frameworks-baloo".
You can see what's been indexed for particular files with balooshow -x oneofyourfiles If baloo has extracted the ID3 tags, they should be listed there...
