Please Put Back Specials Option!!

[NeverExists 21]

Hi, I don't know why you guys removed the option to show specials among the season episodes. This option is crucial in anime. To remove the option to toggle it on or off is totally dumb and serves no purpose except to disregard the people who need this option on. This is one of the only reasons I use emby and without this option, I might as well go with plex seeing as it's free. to take options away from paying customers is disconcerting.

It wasn't really removed it was changed to only get specials "critical to story" positioning data from TVDB.  So all other specials require manually applying positioning data.

Well they dont show up for me and they are movies that are critical. They don't show up in mu up next section or in the seasons. The show im watching right now is inuyasha and the movies dont show up anywhere except in the specials section

Would need specific example and enabled library metadata order.

But this example does not have any critical to story tagged specials.

Compared to my Bleach example

So only items that contain this "critical to story" tag gets positioning data from TVDB.

there should be an option to include all specials

They are in the specials folder. If the morons at TVDB did not include them as "critical to the story", then you need to manually edit the metadata yourself, as was mentioned so that they show up during your season playback. This is NOT an Emby problem, but a problem with the idiots at TVDB who have constant genital wagging competitions with users and often get the specials data incorrect on purpose just so they can "drink the tears of the plebs".

Yes, but wouldn't it be better to add the option to include all specials to avoid these issues? I have seen 22 problems with TVDB and its specials, so instead of blaming someone else and ignoring the issue, maybe fixing this feature by adding a toggle to avoid these issues would be better. IP mean people who go through the trouble of adding the specials to the specials folder in the first place prob means they want to see them when they aired. Whether TVDB has it listed as crucial or not. I use Emby for anime, and this genre is all messed up on tvdb and most specials are important and part of the story. Surely adding a simple toggle to add all specials to their place would not be much trouble. honestly with anime, this is the most important feature cause anime has a lot more specials than regular shows.
