The Order of Specials on Shows`

[SuperBacon]

Hi,
I recently got the Special episode of Invincible and I was wondering if there is a way that the special doesn't play before season 1 as (from what I know) it takes place after season 1, is there a way to make it play after season 1? or maybe it's a problem with my IMDb plugin?
Thank you

You can edit the metadata for that special and assign it an arbitrary episode number. It should then order it accordingly. You should probably lock the metadata so that some future scan doesn't change that episode number

Nevermind I fixed it, my file name was S00E01, and I checked on Amazon Prime and it technically is the first episode of season 2 so I renamed it as S02E01, sorry guys

Thank you, I didn't know I could lock metadata

The correct naming, if you're talking about the "Atom Eve" special is S00E01 - This will download the correct metadata & poster image & put it in a folder called Specials inside the series.It will also display in Season 2 (when that comes out) at the beginning if you have "Display specials within seasons they aired in" checked. This option is found @ Dashboard / Libraries / Display (second tab at the top of Libraries). If you don't change it back You'll run into issues when you do add the real S02E01 in the future. S01E01-08 will play before the special if you have that option checked

Cheers
