Remove 'Special' prefix from specials?

[negativzeroe 80]

See screenshots, I've looked through library settings and metadata settings. I just want the ability to remove the word Special from the title.

There's currently no option for this. What you're saying makes sense when you're looking at all specials though.

Yes maybe we will see this option come into existence? [emoji120]

I don't think it needs to be an option, I think we can just remove it from the specials list.

That'll work. I guess if someone wants it back you can revisit is the plan? I can't imagine it being very desirable though.

There's no need to have them all prefixed with Special. It's only really valuable when the special is embedded into a regular season.

Oh I see where you are coming from now.

@@Luke won't this create confusion?

To me they should display that way within the Specials folder, but need to reflect special within a Season listing.

Yes it will, that's not intended.

for what it's worth, I would love to see the solution Happy mentioned.  There is a particularly obnoxious looking example here, https://www.thetvdb.com/series/guyver-the-bioboosted-armor where the original 1989 OVA is listed as as S0/Specials for tvdb reasons that elude me, and the 2005 series proper is listed as S01.
This is all fine and good with a little renumbering, but within the S0/Specials folder, properly retitled "1989 OVA Episodes," the presence of the "Special" prefix is not only unattractive, but misleading.
perhaps this is an issue with the tvdb and not with emby.

Would more use cases be covered if you append "Special" only to S0 episodes where they are being linked into viewing order, and not from within the Specials directory itself?

Or, does the TVDB metadata simply need to be corrected to properly reflect the distinction between "The Guyver: Bioboosted Armor" and "Guyver: The Bioboosted Armor"
(these may collide once they are sanitized though so I'm not sure that's even possible.  maybe somebody who knows more about the TVDB would care to explain this to me)

I would assume different coding would be needed for the different locations as right now it false under one translation string in your language json.

"ValueSpecialEpisodeName": "Special - {0}",
