Some files not displayed, Nexus5 & 5x

Hi all. As per this askubuntu thread, I have an issue with both my Nexus 5 and my new Nexus 5x whereby some - but not all - DCIM (camera) and Music folder content shows up in Thunar. I can see the discrepancy on the phone itself or via AirDroid.

As far as I recall, all files were added using AirDroid, but at different times. The same happens with camera images. Possibly-helpfully, <=5 day old pictures were listed in Thunar, >=6 day old pictures weren't. Photos taken on same phone in same timezone with no other obvious changes. This is NOT true for the music: Elephant (White Stripes; present in Thunar) was added most recently but before that was Deep House (absent Thunar) and before that The National (present Thunar). No obvious pattern to the present/absent folders.

xubuntu 15.10, Thunar 1.6.10, libmtp-runtime & libmtp9 & libmtp-common 1.1.9-3ubuntu1

Someone on that thread suggested it might be a libmtp bug. Can anyone speculate whether this is likely? I've tried upgrading to libmtp 1.1.11 but that hit the "libusb not found" error, so I tried to install libusb and that hit a "configure: error: "udev support requested but libudev not installed"" even though software center shows libudev1 225-1ubuntu9 installed. I'm reluctant to continue trying to force these packages to work, and probably break my system, if this is 100% not the cause of my issues.

Any thoughts? Thanks all.
