Artist editor hangs on accented characters in build 267 (ref#6JQR9F)

Hi! What’s not quite right with Roon?

· None of the above quite fits

None of the above quite fits

· App interface looks or behaves oddly

Tell us what's going on

· In build 267 the artist editor hangs on artists with two or more accented characters and dipthongs.

Tell us about your home network

· N/A

In the above screenshot, the second name of the conductor/composer is wrong. This is normally a simple artist edit but in the new release (or perhaps an earlier release) it is not possible to edit artists with multiple accents and diphongs. In this case there are two Czech accents and the artist editor just hangs. With other artists, the behaviour appears to be normal with a maximum of one accented character.

Hmmm, I don’t know if it’s the accents. For instance, I can edit these guys without a problem:

I can’t edit Antonin Dvorak, though, and the editor hangs:

I am wondering if the hanging editor in this case is related to other recent reports where the artist editor hangs, independent of accented characters and with no clear causes:

Side note: I don’t know what’s going on with Jaroslav Krcek. (Edit: I do now, see below). There are albums where he is credited as conductor (yellow highlight in the following screenshot) and Jaroslav Dvorak is the Primary Artist link (red highlight in the following screenshot):

However, BOTH links go to the same artist page, named Jaroslav Krcek in my case. I have definitely not merged them and I have no idea why my artist page is Krcek and @tripleCrotchet’s is Dvorak. In any case, I can edit my version:

EDIT: I found out why there is the name confusion: this is apparently a Roon metadata error. Checking the albums where the primary artist link is shown as Dvorak, I found that the actual Primary Artist link in the album editor is the correct Jaroslav Krcek, but the Album Artist field is (apparently in error) given as Jaroslav Dvorak:

Hence why it shows Jaroslav Dvorak as the Primary Artist name on the album page, but if you click it, it goes to Jaroslav Krcek

Hi @tripleCrotchet, @Suedkiez,

We’re going to merge this original report with the main tracking thread for the issue here:

We’ll leave the separate post concerning Jaraslav Krcek/Jaraslav Dvorak in this thread so we can track that metadata correction on its own.

Thank you and we’ll reach out in each respective thread with more information shortly.
