Bugs with large boxsets family of issues : bad handling of disc xx to xxx

hey @support, it’s a bit of an outlier, but just to let you know there seems to be an issue with boxsets > 100 discs, where, even split into smaller volumes, there’s a reset with whichever volume goes from 99 to 100, with all discs > 100 being flagged as 100…

so, if you have, say, discs 95-105 in a volume, tracks 101-03, 102-03, 103-03, 104-03 and 105-03 all get recognised as 100-03, including with correct numbering in the metadata. Discs < 100 get recognised correctly, and it all works fine when corrected manually (but it’s a bit of a PITA, because there’s no way to sort by filename, at least that I found).

I don’t have any problems with sets of over 100 albums, so it must be more subtle than your report suggests. For example the differences in our metadata might cause a bug to show itself, or it might be to do with new imports (my big sets are already imported and groomed).

This was groomed with Piccard before import, with filenaming by Piccard, DiskNumber-TrackNumber [space] TrackName.

Roon blew a gasket trying to match it, but once manually split into subfolders ordered by volumes as organised by a kind contributor on MusicMatch, it worked out, with the one exception of a volume that went from discs 9x => 10x. All volumes before and after, so those with discs ENTIRELY numbered XX or XXX, worked out fine.

In the one problematic volume, discs numbered smaller than 100 were matched just fine, but 100 - 108 weren’t recognised and dumped into one giant unmatched disk that had to be done manually. As I said, it’s an edge case, and something I would rather have privately filed as a bug somewhere because it’s so insignificant.

Just a wild guess (my largest boxset has “only” 67 discs), but do you have the DISCNUMBER and DISCTOTAL tags set properly in all the tracks?

Yes to both - Piccard did things right :wink:

Hi, @Xekomi, thanks for your report. May I ask you to post some screenshots which will clarify the behavior you are seeing here? I mean to illustrate this sentence “so, if you have, say, discs 95-105 in a volume, tracks 101-03, 102-03, 103-03, 104-03 and 105-03 all get recognized as 100-03, including with correct numbering in the metadata.”

Also may I ask you to post your Import Settings here? (Settings->Library->Import Settings, please make screenshot which will include all the option for album).

Thanks!

Hi Ivan,

I’ve sorted the whole thing manually, and everything’s matched at this point (so I’m sure, no matter how good Roon’s interface is, you’ll understand I won’t want to go through that again :wink: ).

In terms of what it looked like, well, in that one folder, any disc numbered smaller than 100 was matched properly, all discs above 100 were matched only by track number and grouped into disc 100, despite having full and correct Musicbrainz metadata prior to upload. This occurred only in the folder which mixed discs smaller than 100 and greater than 100.

I know they are few and far between , but I have been having a tidy up and reimported a 108 and 114 Set just recently , post 1.5, with no errors

Indeed the more you “mess” the worse it gets , the reason for the reimport. If you leave a set as one album it seems OK

I also have a 200 Set that doesn’t show any issues.

Could it be the set ?

This one is a 150-ish set.

I’ve sent about as much info as I have to @ivan, hopefully, the issue is between my keyboard and my server :wink:

There are issues with box sets in general, this is just one

When you get your set imported it’s near impossible to see what you have to select a track. 150 hyperlinks is far from helpful !
