I recently did a routine update to my Truenas system, which is where all my albums reside. After the reboot, Roon is now showing all my recently added page from very old releases. I thought this was maybe a fluke, so I restarted a few days later, only to get even more old releases in my recently added. Clicking on them shows today as the date added, but they all have plays accumulated already (because I’ve had them since my first Roon install).
Has anyone had this happen and know a fix? I use recently added religiously to sort though all my new music I haven’t listened to.
In the past this was often caused by special folders like for example snapshot folders or recycle bins not excluded from scanning by Roon.
PS: Docker installations, that are usually used for TrueNAS, are not supported – so not sure how much a support ticket may help here. Unless of course, Roon Server is not running on the NAS.
did you get the “same” old list of recently played - if so, it might mean that file is read only – not sure how roon stores that data (don’t suspect database because nothing would work) but maybe a json file that is now read only to the docker image mapping
This is just a network share on my truenas, but maybe you’re onto something with snapshots it suddenly has access to after a truenas update? I strangely now have an old album (2015) that has 177 duplicate tracks. I’m not sure why roon is seeing this as different tracks. I’ll open support but leave this here if I find out why for the next person.
on my synology nas I have snapshotting running and there is a setting to hide it. however, to access it via folder browsing, synology has to unhide it - i forget if it prompted me to let it unhide it so i could traverse it to find an old file but i am curious if its the same on your nas – btw, synology puts a pound sign as a prefix for my snapshot folders - in admin area i can see everything, in folder browsing i can see it only if its unhidden - are you able to command prompt into the image running roon and doing an ‘ls’ to see if you can see the snapshot folder?
I run Roon on a Sonictransporter with the library and my music files stored on a Synology NAS. I have always had this problem. It’s irritating but ignorable. I have taken to stopping live monitoring of the NAS, only manually forcing a scan when I add something.
so not familiar with your nas but can you create a new network share that is not part of any snapshotting setup? then put some new flac files there - ones that have never been part of your local collection (download a trial album from somewhere)…
THEN, are you able to map more than one location? make this a separate (sub) folder in the music mapping – then lets watch that album over time -
same issue means its roon - something-something meta files on your Sonictransporter?
if no longer an issue, its the nas…
as an aside:
I have this crazy folder structure - mostly to separate DSD and extractions (mkvtoolnix) from my flac files (dsd syncs to an external drive to the OPPO for direct and multi-channel playing outside roon)
