I just bought the Hi-res Hamilton soundtrack, which has a pdf booklet. I thought you could put the booklet in the folder with the music and see it in Roon, but that’s not happening. Am I doing it wrong?
Thanks!
Where do you want to view it? My experience with Android is that you need to have Kindle installed.
Also a rescan is necessary for Roon to detect the PDF.
No, that link isn’t there. I had simply placed the pdf in the folder as imported by Roon. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks !
I want to see it in Roon. Forgive the ignorance; how do I do a rescan?
Edit: never mind; found it. I did a rescan, but did not see the pdf
Didn’t you used to use iTunes? There used to be a problem with PDFs in old iTunes related folders. Probably fixed now, but anyway, and if you do, try another folder just to check.
I’m no longer using iTunes. I placed the pdf directly in the Roon folder.
Weird. I tried it in 2 other random albums (Neil Young and Rosanne Cash). The Hamilton folder showed up there, but doesn’t show up if I try to place it in Hamilton!!!
Ok. Now what’s the difference between Cash and Hamilton folders?
Are they on different drives? Different watched folders?
Not a thing. The cash folder is under her name. The young folder was a roon import, imported by drag and drop recently. I cannot explain this. I imported Hamilton today the same way-drag folder of High res download into roon.
All folders on same watched drive which is a 5 tb hdd attached via usb to my NUC/ROCK
Weird. Are all the audio files in the Hamilton folder correctly showing up? Roon not stuck scanning? Nothing showing up in Settings > library > library maintenance?
Could you post a screenshot of the Hamilton folder with the PDF in it?
I know it shouldn’t make a difference, but it has for users in the past…
Rename the PDF file to remove the leading underscore.
I liked your moxie, but no joy even after a rescan. I even named it “booklet”
Ok, I give up, sorry. Shall we pass it on to support?
Thank for your help. Yes, please.
Ok.
Roon’s @support team will want some background information on your system. You can help them by using this link as a guide.
It may not be relevant here, but a full picture is always helpful, so describe your network configuration/topology, including any networking hardware currently in use, so they can have a clear understanding of how your devices are communicating.
The folder name also starts with an _underscore…

@AndyR THAT DID IT!!
Not sure why that mattered, because I imported just as it had been downloaded from Qobuz. But changing the folder name did the trick.
It’s a side effect of Roon’s cross-platform functionality. It ignores ‘special’ folders for all OS’s. I had a disappearing album because the folder started with ‘…’
… in this case it looks like Roon is being inconsistent because it did pick up the tracks!
Devs might want to look at that.
