Anime: Can a file be classified as a Movie and a Show?

[mrmech 6]

I have a lot of anime collections like Dragon Ball and Ghost In The Shell that have episodes for a series in Season folders and movies in the Specials folder.  When I open a collection, I would like to see the movies grouped under Movies while the series still appears under Shows.

Thanks for any help!

Because tv and Movies are separate libraries you need to choose where you want the items to be. Do you want the items to be in order, like for series and specials, or do you want individual posters and items like for movies?

I was hoping I didn't have to choose.  Thanks for the answer though!

It could be possible to add some strm files in a anime movie library, that just point to the special episode in the anime tv library, so you can have then also as movies.

Just an idea, did not try it...

I assume you're talking about this: https://emby.media/support/articles/Strm-Files.html

I'll give it a shot.

That worked really well, it did exactly what you said it would.  I'm going to play with it some more.  It should be pretty easy to make a batch script or AutoHotkey script that creates a STRM file of a file.
