So Here is what the guide says:

 

 

 

/TV Series
   /Seinfeld
     /Season 1
       S01E01 Seinfeld The Seinfeld Chronicles.mkv
       S01E02 Seinfeld The Stake Out.mkv

 

Simple enough. However, how do you handle special cases? Example - the TV series Downton Abbey. If you go to the TVDB for season 3 ( link ) you will see there is a special (Special, A Journey to the Highlands, 2012-12-25). This follows the last actual episode (S03E08) for the season. So how do I handle this so that MB will actually display this correctly and get the meta data for it?

You would use a Season 0 with the naming convention from the "specials" folder on The TVDB. For example on this one, S00E03 in a folder called "Season 0." Media Browser will display it both in a Specials folder and inline with the season (the same way The TVDB does).

Awesome! Thanks...
