The issue I have is twofold. My library is about 9000 albums, running on a NUC i5 V7 with 32GB RAM and a 250GB NVME. Local Gigabyte Network. Samsung SSD via USB3. Library fully scanned, no other processes running.
- Album view. Limited to my local files. Select focus composer. Takes quite long (about 30-40 seconds, sometimes even way over 1 minute) to populate the list. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is in that list. To avoid scrolling, I use the filter to search the list and enter “Mozart”. Roon searches for another 30-40 seconds and the says “no results”. Problem is: when I delete “Mozart” from the filter, the popup box with the composer names stays blank, the previous list does not come back. AND: when I close the popup and reopen the composer box again via “view more”, the list stays empty, despite the filter box is empty, no entry present! I assume that something seems to be cached, that does not allow the composer window to be populated, again. If I do the same in the “production” focus, no such issue.
- There is a major delay introduced by a filter problem, that occurs in all filters, when used together with a focus. Select any focus and let it populate. Once it’s up, write something in the filter box (except composer, see above) Try artist! You’ll notice, that the entries are first filtered by the first letter you entered. This reduced list is then filtered AGAIN by the first and the second letter, then AGAIN by the first, second and third letter and so on. The list successively gets smaller and smaller. But that takes time!!! So when you enter a name with 8 letters, you will kick off 8 searches, that are consecutively executed one after the other instead of one SINGLE search, when you have finished writing the name in the filter box. This process majorly slows down any filtering/search! If the filter would be applied only once (for example by hitting ENTER), the process would be many times faster.
- Last issue, that is search related: I have a few albums by pianist Alfred Brendel. One is “Mozart complete piano concertos”: 12 discs, where he plays CDs 3-12, and CDs 1 and 2 are played by other pianists. Roon properly tagged all files with the appropriate track artists and views it as ONE album from “various artists”. If I filter it with Brendel’s name in album view, then this album appears. If I am in artist view and click on his name, his artist page comes up. This very album is missing in “Albums in my library”, but strangely enough, there is one album in “Appearances in my library” from another pianist, where Brendel wrote a cadenza, but is not a performer himself on the album. Why is the “Mozart complete piano concertos” not displayed under his Artist view?
