Michael K. 24 Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 This question is regarding special episodes which are labeled as s00eXX within a TV series. I no longer see the "Specials" season within TV series. I assume I changed a setting by accident. How do I change that view to get it back? While viewing TV Series on Apple TV, I used to see a season labeled "Specials", that would appear before season 1 in the list of seasons. This provided a view with all the special episodes organized together. Now, I can view the special episodes only from within the season they appeared. I used to have both options.
Michael K. 24 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Posted July 10, 2016 Yes, it is the same in the web client using Firefox on Windows 10.
Michael K. 24 Posted July 10, 2016 Author Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) I initially checked library settings -> display, but did not find a setting to affect that change. Screen shot attached. I also check in library settings -> advanced -> TV -> Season 0 display name = "Specials" Edited July 10, 2016 by Michael K.
ebr 15609 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I think if you elect to show them within the seasons, then they no longer also show up in a specials folder. Is that correct, Luke...?
Michael K. 24 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 I tried unchecking that option and it did not fix the issue. It only made the special episodes disappear completely. In the past, I've always had that option checked/enabled and I was able to see the special episodes in both places.
Luke 39835 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 I think if you elect to show them within the seasons, then they no longer also show up in a specials folder. Is that correct, Luke...? It should be in both. I just tested and it seems to work fine. I think he might want to double check his metadata for the particular seasons and episodes in question.
ebr 15609 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Specifically, be sure that the season number for those specials is 0 I think...
Michael K. 24 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) I have the season set to 0 in the metadata and on the filename - screen shot attached. I noticed this issue after I had to install Emby Official 3.0.5985.0 over Dev 3.1.6034.22791, following this thread: http://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/36724-emby-set-to-update-to-beta-builds-updated-to-latest-developer/, could that have anything to do with it? Edited July 11, 2016 by Michael K.
Luke 39835 Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 You also need to look at the special episode number values that are a little bit below that.
Michael K. 24 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 Here is a screenshot of that metadata section. Note: I have not modified any metadata - it has been pulled from TheTVDB.
Solution Vidman 590 Posted July 11, 2016 Solution Posted July 11, 2016 I have the season set to 0 in the metadata and on the filename - screen shot attached.

But it is in the season 1 folder ....i don't know if that makes a difference 1
Michael K. 24 Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 (edited) But it is in the season 1 folder ....i don't know if that makes a difference That did make the difference and the issue has been solved by moving the episode to a new folder named 'Season 0'. Now I am able to see the episode from within the respective season and separately from within the Specials. Nice catch @@Vidman! Edited July 11, 2016 by Michael K.
