What makes rygel start streaming for me is tracker (without the dbus/tracker daemons running)

If tracker is present, but disabled in rygel.conf, it will not stream.

If tracker is enabled in rygel.conf, it will stream, even though it says the tracker plugin is disabled.

The indication that streaming is working is:

Rygel-Tracker-Message: rygel-tracker-item-factory.vala:68: Using /home/tc/Music as upload directory for 
object.item.audioItem.musicTrack
Rygel-Tracker-Message: rygel-tracker-item-factory.vala:68: Using /home/tc/Videos as upload directory for 
object.item.videoItem
Rygel-Tracker-Message: rygel-tracker-item-factory.vala:68: Using /home/tc/Pictures as upload directory for 
object.item.imageItem.photo

..even if rygel.conf "uris=/mnt/sdb1/media" is used and ~/Music, etc are empty. However nothing is streamed.

If I then copy files to ~/Music, etc, and change rygel.conf uris to the default @Music@, etc, only pictures 
are streamed, but not music or video - even if gst-launch will play all three.

Loading tracker loads liblcms2, lzo, attr, acl, libarchive, libgxps, sbc, icu, libical, dbus-glib, bluez, 
libbluetooth, libndp, linux-pam, nspr, js-17, polkit, gudev-lib, modemmanager, dhcpcd, nss, networkmanager, 
exempi, libexif, giflib, libgsf, libpoppler, libgpg-error, libgcrypt, gmime, totem-pl-parser, libsecret, 
taglib

..but not gvfs nor update-desktop-database.

What specific data would update-desktop-database need to place in mime-cache?
