Anyone having issues adding albums to library?

Roon Software Discussion

I added a couple albums to my library folders this morning, but they are not showing up in Roon.

There are other albums in the same folders that have previously imported without issue and I am able to add albums from Qobuz to my library without issue.

All albums previously added to the library are accessible so it is not a matter of the file system being not being accessible and the files are fine outside of Roon in VLC, foobar and mp3tag. It just seems like Roon core is not detecting new files being added.

Perhaps a bit more detail . What computer , what format of files?

Have you checked they aren’t showing in a Version of a local or streaming service album of the same name ?

Well, I am mostly wondering if anyone else is having an issue, as I know the Roon team said they pushed some server side changes to address issues for Daily Mixes.

The albums are in FLAC format (my entire library is primarily FLAC, with an occasional WAV album).

Core is on Linux machine, remote is on Windows 10 machine, both are running 1.8 (806)

For both albums a streaming version is not available on Qobuz. Roon is not showing any version (searching under the artist’s discographies, looking under newly added items, searching for the album titles, etc - the albums just don’t seem to exist within Roon for me).

You should try a manual library scan?

Maybe this will help.

What has worked for me is to stop the server, add the files, and then restart the server. Roon is without a doubt the most buggy software I have encountered working with computers for over 40 years. It is obvious that some of the things are sloppy programming, others are poor test coverage in the QA department. Since they don’t have any real competition, we just accept it and work around the the problems as best we can…

Force rescan was not doing anything, but after I went in and edited folder settings (turned off importing playlists and saved) it scanned and found the items. No idea why that time scanning worked, but working in general again. I’ve had a lot of issues with Roon, but this is the first time for this :frowning:

Still hasn’t shown up this morning. Tried favouriting a different album in Qobuz and it showed up in Roon just about straight away.

Are there other versions in your library and thus the new rips are hidden there…

I have a similar issue, I added two local albums and they won’t show up under ‘albums’ sorted by date added, but they do show up in the library. It seems adding albums from tidal still works fine, but local nope.

Roon is sooooooo buggy.
