What happened?

When adding a new podcast, often times the descriptions and other fields will contain a bit of whitespace on the start and end. It makes reading the description on phones a lot harder when the description contains a few extra lines of whitespace before the text.

What did you expect to happen?

Stripping whitespace prefix and postfix from the description and other fields before saving into the database.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Add the"Terms" by Airship podcast
  2. View the description field contains a newline prefix
  3. View the description on the podcast details page on a phone
  4. Remove the newline prefix
  5. View the description again
  6. See that you can see an additional line of the description

Audiobookshelf version

v2.17.5
