Bug: Adding Actors names can have trailing space

[access 11]

Hello!

Just trying to assist in reporting bugs! No stress whether they get fixed or not!

Problem:
Adding Actors names in Meta Data to a Movie can have trailing space.


Steps to Reproduce:

• Select a Movie
• Edit Metadata
• Add Person and enter a name with a trailing space.

Click Save


When you search for that person "Olan Rogers" you get two results.

 

Fix:
On submitting or updating as person automatically strip out the starting and trailing spaces as no name contains those.

Thanks!

Actually integrating the data further, I can see that sometimes names are migrated into the Database like this automatically.

I've noticed as well that there can be multiple spaces between names;

Russell T Davies appears with one space when searching and viewing. I want to emphasize, that I didn't create this Person in Emby.

 

But the Metadata actually has two spaces;

 

So when I try to add "Russell T Davies" to shows/tv it never matches, despite being able to search for them to be same.

 

So the defect is leading, trailing and in between words should only ever be 1 when added into the Database.
