Red dots on artwork

[Derek_Suggate (Derek)]

Some of my albums are now showing either red dots or silhouette icons on their artwork. This hasn’t happened before. Any ideas why it’s doing it now? I am also getting a message that metadata improver has halted and Roon needs an update. Any ideas why? How do I go about updating?

Hi,

The red dots indicate it’s a live album. The feature can be enabled/disabled from within Roon’s settings.

What device/OS is Roon running on?

What version (build number) of Roon are you running? (Settings—>About)

Hi Carl, thanks for the quick response. It’s sorted out the red dots ok. I’m running 1.4 (build 294) and it’s on a Synology DS nas

Hi,

I did a quick search and found this from Brian (summary … try restarting your Roon Core).
Give it whirl and see if it helps.

Roon Metadata Improver Update? [Fixed]

No, there’s no software update here. Since the server thinks that it needs to be updated, it probably will not attempt to speak to the metadata service again until it is restarted–so the first thing to do is restart your Roon Server and see if the message goes away. That message means that your Roon Server got a response from something that looked like a “nope, your software is too old” message. The thing is–we haven’t obsoleted any software versions yet. Support for that error case is in the R…

The silhouette icons indicate a compilation. This can be toggled on/off in Settings > General, see below. Glad the reboot otherwise sorted you out. Happy listening!

I wish they had an option to put those icons above the artwork because they are a little hard to see sometimes.
