Valence Art Director in Roon

[simon_pepper]

Hi, how do I prompt to get new uploaded images approved?
These have been in for some time, and there are others too.

[mikeb]

Yes, I’d like to know this too… I currently have 43 (long outstanding) images pending review, I think the person responsible must be on a beach somewhere enjoying their holidays.

The other thing I find slightly confusing, is your “Emma Smith” is different to mine. It looks like there are 4 instances of her, and no way to merge…

[Daiyama]

Maybe he used his own image because he do not likes the “official” roon image?

[simon_pepper]

Or it was @joel (status: retired)

[simon_pepper]

Of course, could be more than one ‘Emma Smith’

This is the one I have and a couple of CDs/downloads I bought from her directly or through Bandcamp

But we do need this sorting

@danny What’s the delay in uploaded images to Valence being approved?

[Phil_Active_Audio]

I did some contributions as well that are waiting for approval for 2 weeks…

I approved some contributions on my side. Maybe we need to be more active on approval on our sides too…

We are going to look into this one. Apologies for issues

I’ve started noticing a lot of artists who aren’t artists at all, but rather compilations or individual albums. There are especially many Asian examples.
There are also a lot of images with a resolution below the 500 pixel limit.
Is there anything that can be done about this?

@Serge_Tse

images with a resolution below the 500 pixel limit

70x70
Unbelievable

Short update. We’ve accumulated huge backlog ~3500 uploads we are working both on removing the backlog as well as resolving this for future by adding more mods to the team.

[vova]

Down to ~1500 items to review.

I wonder if there’s any reason to use images with a resolution higher than 4K?
I think even 4K is overkill in most cases.

6000 x 6000

But I’ve found even higher values.

I see that the main standard for uploaded images is 1920x1080 (16:9).
This makes it easy to create avatars, wide banners, and narrow banners.

Is it possible to automatically downsize or disable (reject) uploading images higher than 4K?
Common standards would be very helpful:
1920 x 1080 for Full HD
3840 x 2160 for Ultra HD
4096 x 2160 for 4K
And that’s the maximum!

Also is it possible to add an additional option to reject images not just as It can’t fit or This is not the artist, but also as universally Bad for Roon, as they have too low or too high resolution or they are unsuitable for the artist (for example, album covers, images with watermarks, or those containing unnecessary text)?

No Artist?

Definitely the artist database needs a thorough cleanup
