Roon not recognising my added folders

[Neil_Tingley]

I have added 2 folders in the library.

Windows 11 / Latest Roon

That looks recognized to me , drop an album folder in see what happens

[Neil_Tingley]

There are 100+ ‘albums’ in one of those folders .

“You don’t have any watched folders …” feels like a bug.

[Geoff_Coupe]

Both Watched Folders have the message “Watching for new files in real time” which indicates that Roon has not recognised any tracks as valid imported content, otherwise you should have something like this:

Go to > Library > Skipped files and see if there are any files that have been skipped.

I don’t think that OneDrive is supported as music library (not an ordinary folder). See also:

Roon not adding cloud musical library

Have you set Onedrive to always download the files in the music folder. If the music is not fully downloaded then Roon cannot scan and import it. I have had similar problems with OneDrive myself. Once you have downloaded it all you can force a rescan of the library and hopefully you will be off and running

OneDrive Support (for online music storage, no local syncing)

Hello together My biggest luxury challenge currently is that I want to replace my NAS. However, I have a large storage pool with Microsoft Onedrive, which I would like to use. I know that currently only Dropbox is supported as cloud/xAS storage by Roon Nucleus. My specific question is, are there any future plans to be able to use OneDrive as well? Or can I buy another NAS toy? And if anyone has any advice on how to explain this to my wife, I would be very grateful:-)))))) Many thanks for you…

So it might work if the user ensures that the complete content is loaded onto his local disk all the time. This bears the question why using a cloud folder at all – especially as it might provide issues because of its special nature?

I was just about to type a similar comment.

@Neil_Tingley,
This is worth a shot, but there may still be issues …
On the Windows OneDrive/mp3 folder ensure the “Alway keep on this device” option is ticked.

Thanks.I switched to using my NAS instead of onedrive, and ROCK server because I don’t trust windows.

The ‘you don’t have any watched folders in your library’ makes no sense in the context I described because I configured watched folders - even if they were empty.

So a usability issue for this newbie.

Sorry to be pedantic but 25 years in software development makes you want user messages to be useful not red-herrrings.

The Feedback forum category is a good place to report this to the Roon product team.
