Just noticed today that my Roon server gets stuck on “Rescanning files.” It says it is rescanning four files to update the metadata, but it gets stuck on file 1 and the scan indicator keeps spinning all day. This is probably due to a corrupted file, but there is nowhere to see which file it is getting stuck on.
Note I was also accessing the metadata of the same share disc to day to update some comments section. I don’t know if this affected but checking log files I’vent found any “CorruptFile”, “ErrorCorrupt”
Tell us about your home network
· No VPN: Archer AX55 Pro 2.5 Gb Router -> TP-link Unmanaged 2.5 Switch -> NUC i5 13th Gen 32GB RAM -> Scandisk Superdrive 5Tb
Probably no, it’s an old mp3 from a podcasts. Will look into it an remove it.
I also wanted to ask if it’s ok to modify the files tags directly from the roon music drive? Or I need to move them to local disk, modify them and replace them with the updated ones?
It’s normal for Roon to re-scan your file locations upon restart to monitor for changes to the files contained therein. As long as the re-scan eventually completes (and doesn’t return outside of your scheduled network storage re-scan hours), then this is expected behavior.
As per your question about offending files:
Most files that Roon fails to import will appear in Skipped Files in Settings → Library. However, in this case, logs showed a warning that this particular mp3 had failed to scan during background work due to corruption:
03/08 17:04:03 [Local 03/09 01:04:03] Warn: [storage] [directory] Failed to extract audio format from '/roon/sys/storage/mounts/MusicMedia_SanDisk_G-DRIVE_5637474C41574D48_64B6-985C-p2/Music/Ngawang Chotak/121799 GGBC/Four Noble Truths pt1.mp3': CorruptFile
Please let us know if this helps. We’ll watch for your response. Thanks!
