Treat foreign articles like english "The"?

I use the (beautiful) German language as my main library language, but the German articles (Der, Die, Das) are not treated equally to the English "The" and are therefore not ignored for sorting of movie titles.

 

Example:

The following movies are sorted under letter D:

 

The Dark Knight

Der Pate

 

So my question/request is, if it is possible to ignore the foreign articles for sorting in the same way as the English variant as a standard option. I assume this is possible by hand via the metadata editor, but frankly I am not keen on editing all the mediadata by hand if possible.

Hi.  Yes, we should probably have better knowledge of this built in.

 

For now, you should be able to achieve this yourself by shutting down your server and editing the config\system.xml.  Look for the section with "SortRemoveWords" and add in entries for the ones you want.  Then save and re-start your server.

Nice, I will try to do that :)

 

After refreshing the metadata, the respective items are where I want them to be :)

 

Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi ich möchte meine Filme auch mit den Artikeln 

The A Der Die Das einsortiert haben

The Dark Night unter T

Der Vogel  unter D  etc

 

jetzt soll man ja diesen Teil aus der system.xml entfernen

ich entferne diesen teil aus der system.xml

<SortRemoveWords>
    <string>the</string>
    <string>a</string>
    <string>an</string>
    <string>das</string>
    <string>der</string>
    <string>el</string>
    <string>la</string>
  </SortRemoveWords>

Habe festgestellt das man diese Zeilen stehen lassen muss

ich entferne diesen teil aus der system.xml

<SortRemoveWords>
  </SortRemoveWords>

sonst schreibt sie emby wieder neu.

Allerdings funktioniert es trotzdem nicht.

emby Server beenden dann neu starten, aber die Filme werden trotzdem

The dark Night unter D

Der Vogel unter V

Ich möchte nicht bei den Sortiertitel die Artikel manuell zufügen, das muss doch auch ander gehen?

HI, after changing SortRemoveWords in the server config file, you need to refresh metadata on existing titles. Please let us know if this helps. Thanks.

yes it helps.

Ich habe die Filme weiter eingelesen und da hat es gepasst.

Warum kann man sowas nicht in der emby Konfiguration einfügen?

Hi, yes it's certainly possible for future updates. Thanks.
