The Yate credits database which is displayed in the Combined Credits Editor contains thousands of credits recognized by Roon. It also contains other representations used by Discogs and MusicBrainz. Where possible, non Roon credits are aliased to the Roon representations.
There are two actions in the suite:
Note if you updated via the action updater from a version earlier than v1.2, The Repair Credits Invalid for Roon action will be outside of the Repair Credits Invalid for Roon Suite folder in the action manager. This is due to the fact that the Action Updater attempts to preserve the location of updated actions. If you want you can manually move the action by dragging it.
The action can be run directly and from the Multi Field Editor's Action panel as long as at least one of Involved People or Musician Credits is selected. It can also be run from the Involved People and Musician Credits function menu item Multi Field Editor Actions submenu.
The action can also be called automatically by the View>Credits Invalid for Roon function. Note that the action is only called if Yate detects the presence of credits which are invalid for Roon.
The action attempts to change credits unknown to Roon to equivalents wherever possible. If not all credits could be repaired, the action will display a message describing those credits which could not be fixed.
A configuration panel is displayed in the following circumstances:
The configuration panel lets you define how Involved People and Musician Credits should be sorted when the action is done. It also lets you determine if the Ensure Roon Credits are Canonical action should automatically be called and how deep the canonical replacement should go. Every row in the configuration panel has help which can be displayed by selecting a row and hitting the space bar.
The action performs the following steps:
The action can be run directly and from the Multi Field Editor's Action panel as long as at least one of Involved People or Musician Credits is selected. It can also be run from the Involved People and Musician Credits function menu item Multi Field Editor Actions submenu.
The action can also be called automatically by the View>Credits Invalid for Roon function if any invalid credits were detected.
Roon supports thousands of credits. Some credits are considered aliases of canonical credits. For example Guitar (2 String) while supported by Roon is an alias of the canonical credit 2-String Guitar. This action replaces all non canonical Roon credits with their canonical equivalents.
A few Roon non canonical aliases are associated with more than one canonical credit. For example Violin [Solo] is associated with Violin and Solist. By default the canonical association is the alias as defined in the Combined Credits Editor. You can optionally configure that both canonical credits replace the non canonical credit.
When this action is directly run, ie. not via Repair Credits Invalid for Roon, it has its own configuration.
