Sorting of TV special episodes

[ThomasPdt 4]

Hi,

I'm having issues with the way Emby handles ordering and playing of special episodes.

I've tried lots of possible configurations and I'm unhappy with all of them.

My specials are stored in each season folder.

What I would like is for Emby to:

- show a season's specials at the end of the episode list of that season;
- go through normal season episodes without being interrupted by a special (for example, when finishing season 1, I want Emby to start playing episode 1 of next season, not a special);

I know it's possible to change `Airs before episode` to tell Emby to show a special at the end of a season after all normal episodes, but this doesn't answer my requirement as Emby will play all specials before going to the next season.

Basically, all I want is to have the specials in the list of episodes of the season but I don't want Emby to play them automatically, is there anyone who can tell me how to do this ?

N.B. Please note that the Emby's documentation on specials ordering is outdated as it refers to fields that don't exist anymore, it would be nice if admins could update it.
