Now Playing Screen: Problem with artists with "The" prefix (1 Viewer)

[kiwijunglist]

Mediaportal by default strips the "The" prefix and adds it to the end
eg. "The Beatles" -> "Beatles, The"

So that when I browse by artist "The Beatles" is listed under "B" instead of "T"

The now playing screen MP still refers to the artist as "The Beatles" which I think is good.

However there is a bug

Create and start playing a playlist containing "The Beatles"

Jump to the now playing screen

You will notice the nowplaying artist name is "Beatles, The"

Now FFWD to the next track

You will notice the nowplaying artists name magically changes to "The Beatles"

Ideally, I think MyMusic should handle names similarly to Moving Pictures, which shows the 'The' prefix in the item list but ignores 'The' in a name when it sorts, The sort logic should also work that way in MyVideos.

I Agree with that, maybe you should add it as an improvement request.
