Can't identify show - TV Special

[wayner]

I can't get Jellyfin to identify the TV Special Santa Claus is Comin' to Town.  This is a 1970 TV special, and I have tried using the IMDB id, which is tt0066327 and tried other ways.  How do you get JF to identify shows like this?

Here is the tvdb link: https://thetvdb.com/movies/santa-claus-is-comin-to-town
And the MovieDB link: https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/13400-s...in-to-town
And the IMDB link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066327/
And the OMDB linK:  https://www.omdb.org/en/us/movie/110820-...in-to-town

What type of library is this special in? Shows or movie?

It is in a Shows library. Technically it is a TV special.

Wikiepedia entry (for what it's worth): "Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town is a 1970 stop motion Christmas television special produced by Rankin/Bass Productions in New York, New York. "

So the problem is that all the metadata sources consider it a movie so it would need to be in a movie library to be properly identified.  You can see it in the TMDB URL, for example.

Versus an actual TV show.
