Focusrite Scarlett Solo 3rd Gen (USB)
Sonos Connect (Ethernet)
Music stored on Drobo 5D (32TB), connected via USB3.0
Number of Tracks in Library
~500,000 tracks
Description of Issue
Audio Analysis is stuck: 5 / 48534
It has run on the rest of the library
Library is stored in ~80 subfolders which are all located on the same Drobo partition
Just got this computer and rebuilt the Roon library from scratch.
First-time seeker of Roon support; thanks in advance for your patience, and assistance
Hi @Kevin_Wyatt an welcome to the Roon forums. The Room log files are often helpful in this situation. On my Linux box these live under /var/roon/RoonServer/Logs, it won’t be the same under Windows. BTW what format are your audio files?
I have uploaded the compressed Logs folder via Roon Log Uploader.
My files are in multiple formats - mostly mp3 but also some AIF and WAV (intentional), and possibly some FLAC & m4a (unintentional, I’ll run a search now to see if any remain)
I have rebooted the entire network. When I restarted Roon, it re-scanned the entire library, which took a few hours. I have enabled all sub-folders and the current “stuck analysis” count is 1615 / 48530
Back online; hope y’all are enjoying the year-end festivities.
So, I too was curious about the track count discrepancies and did some fiddling. Here is what I am observing:
As previously noted, I store my files in ~80 sub-folders that share the same parent folder & drive (easier to manage the collection this way). I individually added each folder in Roon Storage setting.
Before enabling/disabling a folder, I disable Audio Analysis. First, I started by disabling all 80 folders. Result was expected: when I enabled Audio Analysis, it did not get stuck (as presumably, zero files were visible to it).
Next, I enabled the first folder in my (non-alphabetized) folder list: “Indie Playlist VIII”. Result: in Storage setting, the folder displays the standard message “Watching for new files in real time; 3,684 tracks imported.” So far, so good.
Next, I enabled the next folder in the list - “Indie Playlist 48” - with the same result.
Next, I enabled the third folder in the list: “Indie Playlist V”. This is my first “problem folder”: when I enable Audio Analysis, it gets stuck (at the moment, displays “analyzing 51 / 76”
I disabled Indie Playlist V, and worked my way down the list (first 12 or so), enabling one folder at a time. Some folders are fine; others also get stuck in Audio Analysis, with different values per folder. I can audit all 80 if this is helpful.
How handy are you on a command line? I don’t have a Windows Roon instance to hand right now so help would be limited. You need to open the log file in a text editor and do a little scrolling/detective work. If memory serves you can see each track analysed and identify any with issues by file path
