I recently had done a number of quality upgrades to over 200 albums in my Roon Library, but it seems like Roon’s automatic analysis isn’t picking up all the changes made. I rescanned the storage, but some files are showing up in their old quality instead of hi-res. When I play the files, the Signal Path properly recognizes the files as their hi-res versions, but the library view doesn’t reflect.
I think this can be fixed just by having Roon run through the entire library and do a full analysis on every track (I can wait), but I can’t find a button to trigger that. A rescan of the folder doesn’t help.
Unfortunately not, that’s the rescan I was talking about, that’s unfortunately not doing much. I’m looking for a reanalyze (where Roon pulls the file characteristics); the one tied to Library -> Background Audio Analysis Speed.
One way to do this would be to go to “albums view”
Select all the Albums you want to re-analyze
Then at the top select the three dots, Then select “Edit” to go to the album editor:
Then select “Re-analyze albums”
Yes, I see. To the best of my knowledge (a lot of which was gained over the course of this thread) there is not.
But you might find some tips from the informed suggestions of other contributors to that discussion.
Restarting the server being amongst the most useful.
Although, as I found out, if you have a corrupt (or otherwise improperly-formed and so unscanned) file that may defeat all further scanning from its point on. Do you think that could apply in your case?
Thankfully that wasn’t the case. Roon just has a weird habit of analyzing files as I’m moving them around, so it sometimes mixes in new files and old files in its background scan, and screws with the library data!
Was an easy fix just by selecting all the new albums and hitting re-analyze in the edit [why…?] menu.
Not a ‘weird habit’ as you put it just basic functionality. That is why Roon recommend that you stop the Roon Server before making changes to the library, then start it again when you have finished moving files around.
