PDFs not showing in albums or Focus feature (ref#7AUB2O)

What’s happening?

Describe the issue

I have uploaded a lot of PDFs to my albums. The PDFs are stored in the same folder as the album (one folder for each album). I have 9433 albums with 143 199 tracks in my database. Lately lots of PDFs don't show when I open the album. Many are also ignored when I use the "Focus" feature and filter by "has PDFs".

Probably not relevant

Not sure if this is related, but the last time I added a load of PDF’s to some of my library, most of them didn’t show up for several days. One or two showed up very quickly, but about a week later they were all showing up.
Hopefully you have a similar experience

These are PDFs I have added over time, did show up correctly in the past. They show up when I force a rescan of the album, but then it disappears again at a later time, randomly as far as I can see.

Well I hope they come back for you

Hey @Internaut,

Thanks for taking the time to write in and share your report!

We’d be happy to take a closer look into things - could you please share a few specific examples of PDFs that are causing you issues?

With that, can you confirm that you have ‘Show hidden tracks’ enabled in your Roon Settings>General?

To confirm, they are normal PDF files, and not encrypted / password protected?

Are the PDFs named appropriately, like Booklet.pdf or album-related?

Exampel: The second album here (Wallace), shows up as having no PDFs


Confirmed when choosing the album:

Force rescan of album makes it show up:

File:

File in folder

PDFs have various names, usually nothing album related (as ‘booklet’).

Not encrypted / password protected.

I have NOT “Show hidden tracks” enabled in my Roon settings.

Hi @Internaut,

Can you try renaming the files to Booklet.pdf or something similar?

Please try enabling this setting.

Once you have done this please let us know if the issue still reproduces.
