Users/id/Items returns featurettes/specials not just episodes

[HawkXP71 107]

In trying to clean up my library, where episodes that are missing TVDBid causes missing episodes to not appear, I wrote a a simple app to get every episode that is missing the TVDBid.

Using the Query HastTVdbId=False works great.  But it also features and specials.  IncludeItemTypes=Episode is set.

Is there anyway to tell if the returned media item is an actual Episode?  Is a known "season 0" special, or in the "Featurettes" or any of the other known subdirectories in a seasons directory?

Curious, how does it compare when you just filter on the Episodes tab for Missing TVDB id?

Same results?

Didn't even know that was possible, but it shows quite a bit less using the filter method.

the request is
http://mediabox:8096/Users/XXXX/Items?IncludeItemTypes=Episode&SortBy=Type,ProductionYear,PremiereDate,SortName&SortOrder=Ascending&Recursive=True&HasTvdbId=False&Fields=ProviderIds,ExternalUrls,Missing,ProductionYear,PremiereDate,DateCreated,EndDate,StartDate&api_key=YYYYY

It returns tons of media items that are in TV Show/Season XXX/Extras

Well you're using the generic /items endpoint. There is a /seasons and /episodes endpoint you can use instead if you prefer that.

I would like it to only return Episodes, which is what I asked for in the query.  Why do featurettes/extras get returned?  Note season 0 specials do not get returned.

And if you set "HasSpecialFeature" to false?
