Specials mixed in with Seasons

[Luke 42078]

There's nothing wrong with it. It depend on values in metadata. if those values aren't there you won't get it.

i didnt change the metadata since the time it worked for me and the values are set correct e.g. like this ->

You are correct it isn't fetched automatically, I had to do a manual refresh in the metadata manager in bulk by going to the metadata manager and refreshing the TV parent folder using "Add Missing Data Only". I see this as an issue because not many people are aware of this so will not know if the specials will appear within their seasons without having to manually refresh the shows. I may be wrong but I think when you add a new series/season it should fill that field automatically but it wont for shows already in the library prior to the server update that added this new field...

above with refresh i meant a manual refresh and for me nor a single nor a "bluk" refresh over all series gets me the season number filled in

ah and the "new series" thing also doesnt work   i set up a dummy series and there the season number also didnt got filled

Ah I see the issue now. I think I know why it is not fetching the season number.

 

Download artwork and metadata from the internet - If this is unchecked season number will not be fetched.

 

 

Download artwork and metadata from the internet - Checked and you should be able to fetch season numbers.

hmm for some reason again this suddenly stopped working for me and unlike the last time i cant get it back working by a "million" restarts and refreshes

[Luke 42078]

because restarting doesn't do anything

[daedalus 434]

really i cant say what exactly did the trick last time but i didnt do anything else   and after one restart it worked

Are you saying you are still having this problem or is it working now?

 

Edit: Just in case you are saying it isn't working. Please check here and see if this fixes it.

Is there any chance of getting this made into a Global option?

It already is a global option.
