I got a crash at /usr/lib/gnome-online-miners/gom-media-server-miner and I wonder.. What on Earth is it mining?
My GoogleFu resulted only in info it provides a set of crawlers that go through your online content and index them locally in Tracker. It has miners for Facebook, Flickr, Google, ownCloud and SkyDrive.
Could someone tell me what exactly is it doing?
It is as your search result said. If you add any of those accounts in Online Accounts settings, while using GNOME, the
gnome-online-minersminers will scan those services for your data, and index it in the localtrackerdatabase, so that when you search for data in GNOME shell, those results will appear.
