What longstanding bugs / problems are you facing with your Music library? Since a few months I have a Plex Pass, mainly for accessing my library when out of home. I have a lifetime Roon (there are longstanding bugs there too, but they seem to chose for user growth by developing new features) licen…

jamesray, Many thanks for taking the time to read my considerable post. I have been a plex user for years, purchasing a lifetime pass almost immediately. I run plex on a Synology DS918+ 4 bay NAS. I have had a front-row seat when it comes to persistent instability and bugs. Specifically, my key i…

I’m sorry you’re experiencing some issues. As for being more clear… your 2nd post doesn’t seem to clarify much – at least not to me. What’s the nature of your scanning problem (e.g. is it slow, does it drop files, does it miss files…)? As for missing waveforms and sonic analysis… did you re-analy…

[image] tom80H: As for missing waveforms and sonic analysis… did you re-analyze your audio library since migrating it (or specific albums since noticing they’re missing that information)? I don’t remember, problaby not then. I don’t have a library as big as Mulatoboy but with around 6.500 alb…

tom80H, I very much appreciate your reply. As for my specific issue…When scanning music folders (something I am having to do yet again as I write this), it just hangs/freezes. When I attempt to cancel, it doesn’t respond, resulting in my having to shut down the server and reboot. Rinse, repeat to n…

[image] Mulatoboy: How’s that for clarification? That’s more to the point :wink: What scanner/agent have you configured for that music library of yours? How are the files in your music library organized / named?

tom80H, I am using the standard plex scanning procedure (‘scan library files’). I have never had to ‘configure’ any special scanner/agent’ in order to scan files of any sort in plex. As for the music files, they are arranged according to plex convention. As I said earlier, I have been using this pl…

[image] Mulatoboy: I have never had to ‘configure’ any special scanner/agent’ in order to scan files of any sort in plex. You don’t need to specify the scanner/agent to scan your library files. However it’s an option of each library. What options are selected in your library (from the libra…

jamesray, We’ve got to ask ourselves…Is this what we signed up to? To become unpaid troubleshooters? PMS is riddled with bugs and always has been. It’s a totally unacceptable situation. I am waiting for a senior member of the company to break cover and address my concerns head-on…I’ll say again: I …
