Specials and extras in TV? - v6u2w - 2023-11-10

Many TV-shows have specials (example the latest South Park: Joining the panderverse) that are outside any season but still part of the TV-show, and many TV-shows that been released on blue ray or dvd boxsets have extras like behind the scenes and bloopers.

Is there an addon that give that create a "Specials" and/or "Extras" under the TV-show together with the seasons?

Like:
Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
Season 4
Extras/Specials

RE: Specials and extras in TV? - v6u2w - 2023-11-10

Seems like that actually is native in Jellyfin now! (Last tried a few years ago and it didn't work) Now that I tried again it actually came up a "Specials" 'folder' in jellyfin.

Anyone know what critera for the Specials to pop up?

This time I just added the video file directly under the TV-show map structure, the file has special in its name.
- Do it need special in the name?
- Can I put all specials in a folder called specials?
- Is there other alternative directories other than Specials that can be created in Jellyfin? Like "Extras"?

Took a look at an older show I remember I had trouble with, this is how it reacts:

It has 4 seasons, one special "Final Episode" without a season. One folder with extras.

With the following folder structure:

Code:
S01

S02

S03

S04

S05

S06 - Extras

S05 folder has the "Final Episode" in it.
I get this structure in Jellyfin:

Code:
Season 1

Season 2

Season 3

Season 4

Final Episode

Extras

S02-04 are normal.
Final Episode have the final episode.
Extras have the extras.
S01 have S01 episodes, the final episode, and the extras.

When I change folder structure too:

Code:
S01

S02

S03

S04

S05

Extras

I get Jellyfin structure:

Code:
Season 1

Season 2

Season 3

Season 4

Final Episode

Extras

S02-04 are normal.
Final Episode have the final episode.
Extras have the extras.
S01 have S01 episodes, the final episode. Not the extras any more.

When I change folder structure too:

Code:
S01

S02

S03

S04

Final episode

Extras

I get this in Jellyfin:

Code:
Season 1

Season 2

Season 3

Season 4

Extras

S02-04 normal.
Extras have the extras.
NO Final episode directory.
S01 have the S01 episodes, and the final episode.

How the heck do I get rid of the final episode from Season 1? It's weird.

For the show, not the whole library, "replace all metadata".

South Park: Joining The Panderverse is listed on TVdB as S00E47 under seasons > specials. Renaming the file "South Park (1997) S00E47" will bring in the correct metadata. You'll also find that TVdB usually (not always) has episode naming for most extras/specials & movies associated with a series. Unfortunately there is no add-on to rename your files unless you use outside programs like Filebot,Radarr, Sonarr, etc.- you just have to go to TVdB & find the proper naming yourself. It might even have a listing for v6u2w's "Final Episode"
Cheers !
