Description Of Issue
new albums are imported on the NAS as maps and flac files. It takes a very long time for the album to appear in Roon, sometimes incomplete (missing tracks), it may take hours. When an album is not recognized this may end up in Roon messing up metadata. What are the correct settings?
Have you gone into Settings>Library>Skipped Files ??. That should tell you why it was skipped over during importing. It might be a file that Roon saw as corrupt, or an incompatible format, or whatever. Sometimes Roon sees a file as corrupt when other software might not. Don’t ask me why, though. I regularly looked under “Skipped Files”, as I’m a heavy importer of files into Roon. It normally shows nothing, but I have had some days where it was 100 files.
Hi there, I followed Neil’s suggestions, unfortunately the missing files are not in “skipped files”. I have deleted the album from the NAS and imported it again. I deleted the album in Roon, but when I look at the folder in the NAS the missing files were not deleted; the files that were visible in Roon are deleted.
And it takes forever to see the album (and files) appear in Roon.
Are all files definitely in FLAC? I had the same issue however some of my hi-res downloads from Qobuz in particular were in WMA format which Roon does not recognise.
Worth checking - thank you. Have you done a forced re-scan of the relevant NAS drive and are all files in the correct folder that Roon points to? Again, I am sure they are but it is worth eliminating the obvious…
Just did that, forced re-scan from my NAS, Roon imported exactly the same files and omitted exactly the same files although I re-imported the whole album into the NAS.
Hello @Han_Lauw, I’d like to take a closer look at the media that won’t import. If you could upload it here, I’ll try on my side and see if I can get things going. Thanks! Please let me know when you’ve had a chance to upload these files.
Hi, thank you, I have solved the problem, it originated in DBPoweramp which uses certain symbols in the filename, which Roon does not accept. Changing these symbols solved the problem.
