Seems to be the same (or very similar) to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=730028

From there, this workaround gets it working again (at least, for the mo):

tracker-control -r; tracker-control -s

Totem with dlna via grilo is unusable at the moment. Surfing through folders at the server crash totem if you enter the folder with the audio files, these were never displayed on the screen.
