Okeur75 7 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 Hi all, I would like to know how I should name and organize the specials shows from a TV show. The doc says : \TV \Glee \Season 0 Glee S00E01.mp4 But what if I have special episodes for each season ? For example, Dr. Who (2005) has multiple special episodes for each season. Should I put them all in one "Specials" directory at the root directory of the TV show, or is Emby able to handle "Specials" directory in each season directories ? Regards,
PenkethBoy 2068 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 if you name them as per tvdb specials and turn on show specials in seasons option they will appear along side your episodes if you have others that are not listed on tvdb they will show in the specials season IIRC - i dont think specials below a season is supported
Okeur75 7 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Posted January 25, 2018 Ok, and what should be the naming convention of the episode itself ? For example the first season: Dr Who (2005) S01E01 Pilot.mkv Dr Who (2005) S01E02 Smile.mkv . Dr Who (2005) S01E12 The doctor falls.mkv Dr Who (2005) Special Twice upon a time.mkv ? OR Dr Who (2005) S01E00 Twice upon a time.mkv ?
Angelblue05 4132 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) Your specials should exist within a Specials directory. Specials is season 0. Your naming should be: Doctor Who (2005) S00EXX Title In Emby, it will set the airs before/after according to TVDB. This will allow specials to show up alongside your regular episodes and will be ordered correctly. Edited January 25, 2018 by Angelblue05
paulsalter 84 Posted January 25, 2018 Posted January 25, 2018 This is how i have mine Specials in a folder called Specials \TV\Doctor Who (2005)\Specials\Doctor Who (2005) - S00E154 - Twice Upon A Time.mkv https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=78804&seasonid=26260&lid=7 Episodes in Season folder \TV\Doctor Who (2005)\Season 01\Doctor Who (2005) - S01E01 - Rose.mkv https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=78804&seasonid=15688&lid=7 1

As was said above, use the naming regime in tvdb - that way the correct metadata will be scraped for the episode. As an example for Dr Who (2005) use the relevant numbers for the Specials episodes - see link below https://www.thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=78804&seasonid=26260&lid=7 1
