I can usually reproduce this. Essentially the problem is that when I add an album to my library, and then click on the album from a screen that isn’t directly related to my library (artist disco, playlist, etc), the album appears like it’s not in my library - I can click + to add it, and I can’t see any tags I added. In this situation, when I do click plus, it just spins, “adding…”. If I back out and view the album by going to “My Albums”, it’s there and everything’s cool, and never happens again for that album.
Full reproduction steps:
1. When I go to an album that is definitely not in my library, I can click the big + to add it to my Library. I’ll use this random live Jimi album as an example. You see in Format that it’s a Qobuz FLAC.
2. So, I click the plus, and it’s added to my library.
3. Then I add it to a tag:
4. I click back, and from Jimi’s discography, I click on the album again, and it’s shown as not in my Library: the + is there again, and the tag is missing.
5. If I go to my Library, it doesn’t show up in recently added:
6. If I to to My Albums, and filter for “jimi” I can see it, however:
7. Clicking on it from that view shows the album as I expected, in my library, with the tag and no + button:
Setup
Roon Server:
- AMD Ryzen 3 3200G
- B450 TOMAHAWK MAX (MS-7C02)
- 16 GiB DDR4
- Linux (not ROCK) running RoonServer
- Roon 2.0 Build 1490
- Bunch of SSD
Roon Remote:
- Various remotes, two rather new macbooks, and a linux laptop running roon. My daily experience is a 2024 Macbook Pro M3 with loads of memory.
- Roon 2.0 Build 1490
I’ve experienced this across the last 5 builds, at least. I generally update everything immediately.
Network:
Same problem over two networks:
- Ubiquiti EdgeRouter with Unifi APs
- Mikrotik Router with Unifi APs
In both cases the RoonServer is hardwired, and the clients may be wired or wireless but that doesn’t impact the issue.
Library:
A mix of mp3 and FLAC on SSD on the RoonServer, as well as Qobuz streaming. I suspect this only happens with Qobuz, and I’m not sure how to reproduce it with local digital files. 1047 artists, 1948 albums, 19550 tracks. Roughly 1/3 of that is local files, the rest is Qobuz.
Misc Troubleshooting
- I’ve taken a backup of roonserver, and run roonserver on my macbook. Running there with a local Roon Remote on the same machine, everything worked fine.
- I’ve tried restarting everything (no change)
- I’ve tried isolating the Roon Server and one Remote on the network. disconnected all other devices. (no change)
- This happens whether or not music playing currently… from a fresh boot of everything with no activity and only one remote.
- In general, this setup has been working perfectly for over a year. Library operations and search feel snappy. I’ve only once had a playback hiccup and I narrowed that down to data throughput to the particular audio device (wifi speaker far away from an AP).
