    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

    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.
