Interesting list
where is Audirvana , they use MusicBrainz as far as I know ?
Just wanted to say it does seem suspiciously timely that an update is made by the devs about the outdated OPRA headphone database once the community makes a complaint thread about it.
Also, what’s so hard about integrating nightly pulls from the repository and auto updating the db on Roons end? This is a one work day integration.
Cheers, happy holidays and keep on rocking.

Sound like a job for that new superman in town: AI, that is if one can provide it with the 15+ page prompt that is probably required. Hope that there’s another AI model to make the prompt for the first AI model. Oops then one would probably need a prompt for the prompt writing AI. I see where this is going and I’m getting dizzy.
Hello everyone! I’m new to the Roon community and recently joined the Roon’s engineering team.
I just saw this thread and wanted to drop a quick note about some work I’ve been doing on the OPRA project. With the holidays and some other roon projects I haven’t had a chance to wrap up the work I started about 3+ weeks ago.
If you want to follow along, here is the pull request that adds support to automate importing AutoEQ and Oratory1990: Automate importing AutoEQ and Oratory1990 by decriptor · Pull Request #62 · opra-project/OPRA · GitHub.
I’ve also replied to/reached out to RTings about potentially bringing in their data set too.
This isn’t the same project that @Jeff_P referenced, but that project is really cool too 
Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

Hello again everyone!
Just wanted to post a quick update. The changes to automate updating the repository have finally landed and it’ll start updating the repo on a regular bases as long as there are new changes.
Speaking of changes, we should have a fresh import coming soon! Stay tuned
And as for our really cool secret project we are full steam ahead on it and I really can’t wait to show it off!
Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Stephen, what is your really cool secret project about? Sound good. Is it about Opra?
You have replied to the wrong person in the wrong thread.
I would guess it’s in reference to this
I believe it’s this one, and have moved over the posts.
Nah, right person. Stephen above. You never know. He might reply with some further news.
That’s because your reply to me was moved to this thread, so @Stephen_Shaw1 will get a notification.

You’ll have to see if @Jeff_P is willing to leak anything

It was deemed appropriate to close the speculation thread:-
Time to do the same here me thinks, it’s all becoming very tiresome…
Bye bye….

So Roon announces some big exiting new feature, like Opra, and then releases some half baked implementation of the feature, after which the Roon users start to complain and point out many of the issues of the exciting new feature only to have Roon assure the Roon users that we understand your concerns and are working to address these issues. And then… (NOTHING!!! or lip service, as it’s more commonly called)
Please explain why is this okay?
So as the OP, I repeat, without the question mark this time, that Opra is DEAD.
As for the much teased big, new and exciting feature coming to Roon, don’t hold your breath and let’s hope that if and when this wonderful new feature is released, that it is perfect because once released the Roon staff will not put any effort into addressing user concerns and revising or improving that feature.

Maybe you missed this a few posts up. (It should not have taken that long / they should have had an update solution ready when launching, but it’s not “nothing” / “not any effort”)
No I didn’t miss it:
“Roon assure the Roon users that we understand your concerns and are working to address these issues. And then… (NOTHING!!! or lip service, as it’s more commonly called)”
No additional headphones have been added to Opra but I still have to pay my yearly Roon subscription. By the way, as long as Roon remains a paid service then as a paying customer I will continue to complain and hold Team Roon accountable.

“hold Team Roon accountable” - yes, as @Jazzfan_NJ and others should!
note: OPRA is an open source community effort that Roon consumes; some of those consumption mechanics have required an update and that’s what @Stephen_Shaw1 has referenced as forthcoming

Are you saying the problem is that Roon and OPRA drifted somehow and that Roon needs an update to understand how to ingest from OPRA?
Roon created OPRA. It didn’t need to exist. Roon could have ingested directly from AutoEQ, which is what OPRA does. There was no hunger in the Roon community, or elsewhere, for a layer on top of AutoEQ. There was hunger for headphone-model specific convolution and EQ, not for a new branded complex open source effort.
Nobody was ever going to contribute significantly or act as steward of OPRA other than Roon. It’s not appropriate to blame open source or something like that for the abandonment of OPRA, even if it gets a bit of love in the next week. It’ll probably get abandoned again as so many other core “features” have been such as network discovery, new music playlists, Roon Radio, search, metadata sync with Qobuz/Tidal, box sets, etc., etc.
That’s the experience of being a Roon user.
That seems like quite a knowledge gap. I wonder what else you don’t know. The community is here to help you close this gap if you want them to. Just start a thread - people will tell you.
