Number of Tracks in Library

92,086

Description of Issue

Monitoring for new music being added to my library is not working, probably due to the number of files, although I’m using a USB-attached local drive rather than NAS.

I found some mentions in earlier support topics and posts about setting a rescan period, but I can’t seem to find that option (perhaps it’s been deprecated or moved).

Is there a way I can schedule a forced rescan of my library?

Schedule only applies to network attached storage .
90k tracks isn’t a huge library.
What are you using as a roon core server.

[jasonheyd]

Intel NUC 8 (NUC8i5BEH) - Core i5

And yeah, it’s not that large and a good chunk of the library is Qobuz/Tidal tracks. 62,010 tracks on the USB drive.

[ged_hickman1]

My library is about that size and I have the same NUC and albums are added quickly.
Maybe try a different usb port just as an easy thing to try.
Then it might be disc test.
After that it’s Roon @support.

If you go to Settings → Storage and select the Edit option for your folder(s) (via the 3 dots menu), you’ll see the “Automatic Rescan Interval” option.

[ged_hickman1]

Only if it is remote, network attached storage. The OP has USB attached local storage which can’t be scheduled.
Read the thread.

[jasonheyd]

I’ll try another USB port & run a disk check from another system just to rule things out.

That aside, it sounds like there’s no way to schedule a refresh on local storage…

Any chance someone from the roon support can can confirm? And any way to request that functionality if it’s not available?

Thanks all!

[ged_hickman1]

You definitely can’t, roon don’t need to confirm.
You can add it as a feature suggestion.

[jasonheyd]

Fair enough & thanks for the confirmation. New feature suggestion submitted here: Add Option for Scheduled Refresh of Local (including USB) Storage

If there’s something else that I might look for in the logs to see why the automatic refresh is failing, I’m happy to go fishing. I didn’t see anything obvious, but wasn’t sure what to look for.

[ged_hickman1]

For that part you really do need @support to have a look.

You can undertake a “Force rescan” of locally attached storage from the edit menu referred to in an earlier post, which will scan the whole library and add any new files it finds. But at this time you cannot schedule it to happen automatically.
