In-Progress Emby Server & Theater - Additional Extras/Special Folder Types for TV Series (similar to Movies)

[ausar 0]

@RaptorCentauriHi, have you managed to display them correctly? This is the only thing keeping me from switching to Emby from Jellyfin.

With the 4.10 server, if you enable your display option to show all episodes on the series screen, then you should be getting an extra row now:

Additionally, individual episodes can have their own extras, and you'll see that on the episode screen.

So you have to choose or have the extras as properly be displayed as IT WAS until YOU REMOVED it or seeing Seasons in folders .... my media YOUR WAY ....

If you're showing the Season folders, then you can click Season 0. Isn't the specials line redundant at that point?

How difficult is to understand that:

A Season 0 Episode (Aka Special): Can be:

    a) Episodic Special
    b) An OVA
    c) A Movie
    d) Season Recap
    e) Webisodes and Shorts
    f) Uncategorized

All the above is from TheTVDB Rules on Episode Categorization for Season 0 (Aka Special), that can be matched and retrieve it's metadata to feed emby:

An Extra has it's own categories and are not included in 99.9% of the cases in any Metadata Source that Emby is using:

    a) shorts
    b) scenes
    c) featurettes
    d) behind the scenes
    e) deleted scenes
    f) interviews
    g) trailers
    h) Openings
    i) Endings
    j) etc

So why mixing it ??????

Specially when you have it already solved in Movies:

@Lukeadditionally:

Imagine doing it on Shows with hundreds of official Specials like Doctor Who 2005 with 169.

I have to scroll down to the bottom to find an Extra ? When maybe I only have 3 of them that no one has put in TheTVDB ?

Or the opposite, I configure no Season Folders and I see 169 Specials + 3 Extras in a row.

Has no sense at all.

The ideal will be to have extras at:

Show Level
Season Level
Episode Level
