Description of Issue

After a fresh install of Roon and scanning/importing music from a new drive (no importing of any existing DB’s), Focus in Album view shows most fields are empty and missing options to choose. Focus works as expected with full lists of applicable and respective categories in Artists and Tracks views, but in Album views it’s basically empty:

Nothing else is going on, no issues with the metadata service, no issues with importing tracks, no messages in Library → Skipped Files, nothing weird in Library → Library Maintenance, very odd. The missing Sample Rate and Bit Depth categories seem the most telling b/c those seem so straight forward based on the music files themselves.

Restarting the roonserver service doesn’t make a difference; it’s been like this for about a week since I originally rebuild this core.

Anything sound out of line on my end that could be causing this?

My iPad did the same the other night - I wanted to focus on dates, but there weren’t any!

I either rebooted Roon on the iPad, or the whole iPad, can’t remember, but it came back OK

Seemed to be a temporary glitch on mine

Reboot your core & clients and you’ll probably resolve it. If ever some slight “illogical“ data issue happens the reboot sequence usually sorts it out (as @Andrew_Stoneman suggests)…

Thanks for the feedback. It seems to be intermittent. A service restart doesn’t immediately fix the issue but over time Focus entries will return. Then give it a day or so and it’s back to a constant stuck “thinking”:

Closing Focus in this state and then reopening it starts the process all over again with a nearly empty Focus. So I’m guessing it’s just having a hard time pulling this info in Album view.
