Bug ID: 489406
Summary: Baloo doesn't automatically index multimedia files'
metadata
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-baloo
Version: 6.3.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR

Multimedia details do not appear unless balooctl6 index is ran manually
SUMMARY
Baloo doesn't automatically index metadata specific to multimedia files by
default, such as a music file's Duration or Artist. As a result, when adding
tabs in Dolphin's details view mode for audio or video files, they are blank by
default, and will only appear after manually reindexing the files using
balooctl6 index.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create or obtain an audio or video file, then go to its directory in Dolphin
and view its Properties (right-click > Properties).
2. Note the file's properties, and ensure it has metadata that can be shown in
Dolphin's details view mode, like an audio file's Duration.
3. Switch to the details view mode in Dolphin's main window if not already
there, then enable the column for the previously noted metadata. Note that it
is blank, despite appearing in the file's properties.
4. Manually reindex the file using balooctl6 index, then reload the directory
in Dolphin. Note that the metadata now populates in the Details columns
correctly.
OBSERVED RESULT
Multimedia metadata is not indexed automatically, so Dolphin's details view
mode doesn't display it unless action is taken manually.
EXPECTED RESULT
Multimedia metadata should be indexed automatically, so that it displays in
Dolphin's details view mode without manual action.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux Kernel Version: 6.9.6-arch1-1 (64-bit)
(available in About System)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Adding folders[$e] to baloofilerc per
https://community.kde.org/Baloo/Configuration did not resolve the issue.
balooctl6 check did not help either.
