Issue with active playlist grouped by first letter

[HomerRamone]

I've noticed there seems to be an issue with an active playlist that is grouped by first letter

Parsing several hundred files when opening my movie list takes a little while so I have a version grouped by first letter.

However any more that is "The <insert movie name>" isn't appearing. So The Crow, The Fugitive etc do not appear. Not even in the T group.
(There are configured with a sort title that removes THE so Crow and Fugitive)
Terminator will show - but then its Terminator.

Bumping this - its kinda annoying to have some titles missing

I have a similar active playlist and the movies which start with The show up under the letter T. Do you have anything in your Smart Filter parameters for the Active Playlist ? Also in Display Titles what is the value for Movies (i.e. %TITLE%) ?


Thanks,

As an alternative to the grouping approach, you could provide a search or filter function that allows users to easily find movies starting with "The" or any other prefix.

Something like "The Terminator" will show - presumably because its T.
The Fugitive will not. It shows neither in F or T
The smart filter is "File path starts with H:" (H is the drive the files are on).
The Keyword hierarchy is Group by first letter.
Display title under movies is %TITLE%

Peter will likely have to weigh in here. Offhand I am not seeing anything wrong. Out of curiosity if you remove the smart filter file path parameter does The Fugitive then show up ?

If you turn off group by first letter do the files appear?

[HomerRamone]

If I remove that I get a dialog telling "Active playlist must specify at least one keyword in the search criteria"
(Note: I also have a smart filter which is file path, contains, h:\)

Please try using group by first word to see if the files appear.
