Hyperlinks in song credits, some not working?

[Sloop_John_B (John B)]

The link for Hamilton Camp does not work.

Is this a bug or just a UI deficiency where if it’s not a link it should be a different colour?

Hi john
in my opinion, it’s a very general problem in roon software. look at this thread:

Composers links problems [no more only Greek]

in my library i have quite a lot of greek music albums. in most of them, i’ve used the latin translitteration. anyway, in roon metadata i’ve got a lot of links to composers in greek alphabet like this: [image] i’ve noticed that the links don’t work: if i click on the link, nothing happens. in the composer page the names are present, though. so i think it’s a bug, because the same happens with all of these greek links…

it’s long, and contains my investigations about the problem. at the moments, i got answers, but no solution.

@support, not that this is an urgent issue but a response of some description would be nice?

Hey @Sloop_John_B – how many tracks does your edition of Wednesday Morning 3 AM have?

I was going to discuss this with the metadata guys, but my edition is only 31 minutes long, and this is what I’m seeing:

Do your files include a composer credit tag for Hamilton Camp?

[Sloop_John_B (John B)]

Hi @mike, I have a version with 14 tracks (2 extra)

This is the metadata

I get what you get if I look at the Tidal version.

and clicking Bob gets Bob

shades of HAL!

@mike, sorry: in my opinion, it’s not (strictly) a metadata problem
i have DOZENS (or more) of albums tracks with broken (or not working) hyperlinks. i mean, composers links.
in my thread (reported in this one) i have suggested an explanation. but no-one of the staff answered (lately).

Hey @Sloop_John_B,

Would you mind sharing album that’s experiencing this behavior with us?

Ideally, you can zip up the entire folder and send me private message containing a shared dropbox link. If you don’t have Dropbox or need another way to send the media, just let me know.

Thanks!
Dylan
