Each source can handle its own set of properties. Thus, some plugins can
resolve GRL_METADATA_KEY_ARTIST, but others not. And even in the case
that a plugin is able to handle it, could be that for some specific file
simply it can't get the value for the key.

Glancing the code you sent, I see that you ask grl-filesystem for a set
of keys, but then you print then without checking if the media result
really has that key or no. Thus, if it doesn't have the key, it returns
a NULL value.

I suggest to use grl_data_has_key() to check if the element has the key
before printing it (or do not print if the value is NULL).

Maybe tracker is not well configured, so the plugin doesn't work
neither.

What returns "tracker-search -m" ? It should return all the media files
you have indexed.
