Hi,

Setup
Tablet: v1.5 (build 333) on iPad Pro 12.9
Core: v1.5 (build 334) on SonicTransporter i7

Issues

Duplicate Artists

Persistent issue in Artist section where duplicate entries present. This issue has present with the following artists

  1. Bobby Caldwell
     1st Entry indicates 2 Albums, however when I click in it display 16 albums
     2nd Entry indicates 16 Albums, when I click in it display 16 albums (Correct)
    • Same artist image is displayed for both

  2. George Benson
     1st Entry indicates 17 Albums, however when I click in it display 44 albums
     2nd Entry indicates 44 Albums, when I click in it display 44 albums (Correct)
    • Same artist image is displayed for both

Notes
When trying to merge artist it gives me all albums as hidden?

Losing and Changing Tagging Information

Sometime when Roon does a fresh rescan after my SonicTransporter in restarted, I lose some of my previously tagged information from both Artist Section and Albums. What happens can be summarised

 Removal of some Custom Images Added to Artist Profile
 Removal of genre tags from Artist Section and Albums

Mark

Thanks!
