Here is the fix for 'THE' in title

If you all want to remove any title with the word ‘THE’ in it all you have to do is run this batch from a drive letter.

What I mean is you cannot run it from a UNC path like \server\movies

You need to map \server\movies to a drive letter first.

Or if you have an external drive plugged in, it will already have a letter assigned.  Likewise any windows shares which are harddrives in the pc, this will be fine also as long as they have a drive letter. Like c: or d:

It does not recurse subdirectories, but I can make it do that if there are enough requests…

Download the file, unzip it to the root of all the xml files you have.

Double click it to run it… done.  All of the Movie Titles starting with ‘The’ will be changed to just the movie name.

Example:

The Outcasts

after running the fix…

Outcasts

File is here

Feel free to modify it if you want, but share your changes and ideas.

Hello,

Thanks for sharing this. 

I also discovered that you can edit the title in the xml file.  It puts it where it needs to be, alphabetically. :smiley:
