Description Of Issue

In Roon, I only see 2 of my 15 Miles Davis albums when I filter on Miles Davis. I can find the other albums when I search for the album title, so they are there in the DB. When I open an album it shows Miles Davis as the artist and when I now click on “Miles Davis” it again only shows the wrong result like in the beginning.
Is there a way to reorganize the ROON database? Haven’t found a way to get the ROON db back to normal.

Greetings,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Can you give us some screen shots of the affected albums. It might help visualize what is going on.

Sure,
here is one shot from iTunes showing all albums. When I select artist miles davis in iTunes I get all albums.
The next picture 2 shows the result when clicking on the artist name “Miles Davis” in Roon, e.g. when I am in album Tutu.
The third and forth picture show a way to see all albums in Roon.
When I search with the magnifying glass icon it shows the result on picture 4

I may not know the answer but can tell you what I did to fix something similar I was seeing. I have my roon core on an Intel NUC with my music on a Synology NAS. I would search artist - (Ian Anderson in my case) and would not see his solo albums - I have 3 in flac format. I organize my albums by artist first name - so Ian Anderson was in the I directory. I had to move the albums to a different directory (I chose J) - ran the force scan and everything was fine. It makes me uncomfortable that I know the tags were right - the album format was right - but for some reason they were not picked up.

Hello Dan,

Where do I find the forced rescan?

Hi @Chris_Passon,

Can you confirm that you’re on the latest update (Build 416)?

When you navigate to the Artist Browser do you see more than one Miles Davis?

No,
I was on 406.
Now I am on 416 and the error is gone.

Greetings,
Chris
