Just setup a new SonicTransporter i5 (ST), running Roon 1.2 (165) feeding a SonicOrbiter>DAC. All working in terms of playing audio to a DAC but many files are not being added to roon.
After importing audio files from a USB 3.0 external drive mounted to the ST, I’m missing 1187 files from track totals (94,582 correct vs 93,395 shown in Roon). In examining the roon server log from the ST, I get many messages re: Corrupt files. A quick perusal indicates all are mp3 (don’t see any FLAC files reported as corrupt. Messages such as:
12/17 08:34:15 Warn: [storage/directory] Failed to extract audio format from ‘/storage/music/flac/usb/storage/music/flac/MP3_AAC_Only/Grateful Dead/Europe 72 [Bonus Tracks] (2 of 2)/10 Good Lovin’.mp3’: CorruptFile
EDIT: re did everything with the path on the files on the USB drive shortened and nothing changed. For example, new path of above is:
‘/storage/music/flac/usb/flac/MP3_AAC_Only/Grateful Dead/Europe 72 [Bonus Tracks] (2 of 2)/10 Good Lovin’.mp3’
Steps to diagnose:
a. I tested a few dozen of the tracks noted as “CorruptFile” with dbpoweramp (TEST CONVERSION) and foobar20000 file integrity tester. They all report as no problems, and will play in other (nonRoon) players I have. So files seem to be ok and not corrupt.
b. I removed the USB external drive on the ST and connected to my Win8.1 laptop. I have roon 1.2 (165) running on the Win laptop. I hadn’t previously added any watched folder to this instance of Roon. Adding the USB external drive as watched and imported all the files. In the windows instance of Roon, all 94,582 files are imported (i.e., all is correct).
Based on a. and b., it seems that files are not corrupt (files check out OK and even a Win version of Roon imports them correctly).
