Roon keeps rescanning for some files forever…
What gives?
To clarify:
- Roon 1.6 build 401
- mac mini with on 10.14.4
- Music files are in (Firewire connected) local drive
- This has been going on for a few days when I noticed, Roon seems to be operating properly otherwise
I am having this problem too. I am on a Nucleus+ with the NAS on my network. Latest version of Roon. Been going for a few days now. Have rebooted the Nucleus+ but no good. Any ideas?
You might have a corrupt file in your library that is stopping things from progressing.
Support should pick this up in due course so sit tight until they get to this.
I removed my local library from Roon, and the scan that I showed kept on going. I wonder if this is an issue with TIDAL or Qobuz (I have both on Roon). Unfortunately there is no mechanism for me to see what it is it is trying to scan for.
FWIW, it seems to be frozen in the same 14 files regardless -it always shows “Rescanning files: 1/14” (in my case). Seems to be something erroring out. Would love to be able to get a tad more verbose detail!

Hello @miguelito,
I just finished reviewing the diagnostics from your Core and I see that it is stuck on these files:

I would remove these tracks from the library to see if that clears up the error. There is an active ticket with the dev team for similar symptoms and this behavior should be addressed in a future Roon release but for the time being I would remove the above tracks,
Thanks,

Hi @miguelito,
I believe these tracks reside on Qobuz. It looks like the album that you are looking for is “Lady Soul (With Bonus Selections)”.
Thanks,
Noris
Ah ok. I’ve just removed that album from my favorites, I will check when I get home whether it stopped scanning.
What piece of info tells you it’s from Qobuz?
Thx.
Hi @miguelito,
Your logs contain similar error traces from one’s I’ve seen before with Qobuz albums in other cases. Do let me know if the issue is resolved once you get home.
Thanks,
Noris

Removing this from the library stopped the scanning.
FWIW, the offending album came from TIDAL not Qobuz. In all likelihood, the publisher’s metadata is causing the issue.
Thank you.
Hi @miguelito,
Thanks for letting me know that the album came from TIDAL and not Qobuz. This is certainly strange because when I’ve seen this issue it was only for albums from Qobuz, but I will let the QA team know this info in case they want to take a closer look. Either way, glad to hear the issue is resolved on your end!
Thanks,
Noris
