Music database / prefix strip
Hello,
did a reinstall of 1.0 + latest SVN and rebuilt the music database completely from scratch. Unfortunately I forgot to tick the "strip prefixes" and consequently the number of artists that start with "The" was of course significant.
So far so good, however, I have not found a way to remove the prefixes. Ticking the option and rescanning is not changing anything. Deleting the musicdatabase.* in AllUsers\...\Mediaportal and rescanning with the activated strip option leads to the same result. I also noticed that the artist pictures are only randomly created, in my case roughly 15 out of 350. These 15 came in relatively fast, however, there is no change for the rest.
Any hint how to get rid of the "The"? What am I doing wrong?
Regards, HTPC_Sourcer
