[Owncloud] Possible improvements on oC scanner (media)

[Ed W]

I think there is a lot of attempt to build everything new in OwnCloud.  
Why not look at apps which can be integrated and focus on this?

For example the Kolab calendar and contacts app is *excellent*. Can we 
not try and re-use that leverage it?  See the Roundcube mailing list, 
someone is currently working on a cal/carddav backend for it

Cheers

I regularily update respectively completely reinstall oC from scratch directly using the master files from github and do my testing, helping to improve oC. But the issue still remains. Only a subset, and I really mean a close to nothing compared to the complete list, of music files are shown in the music app.
