    I bought the Doctor Who Reboot (9th to 12th Doctor) Blu-Ray  disks and started to rip them.

    I suspect that the regular episodes of the disks will be no problem for Jellyfin.

    BUT there are 8 full disks of Specials!

    Ripped, the first BD looks like this:

    Code:
    ls -lh DR_WHO_SPECIALS_D1/
    total 15216640
    -rwx------  1 tja  staff    19M Jan 21 00:37 A1_t01.mkv
    -rwx------  1 tja  staff  2.9G Jan 21 00:37 B1_t00.mkv
    -rwx------  1 tja  staff  1.9G Jan 21 00:41 C1_t02.mkv
    -rwx------  1 tja  staff  2.4G Jan 21 00:45 D1_t03.mkv

    The 19MB file is a menu and B1_t00.mkv is the special. The other 2 are extras.
    I tried, what was recommended in this forum:

    I put those file into a folder named "Season 00" like this:


    Did anybody ever solve how to name the files from the 8 Blu-Ray disks?

    Code:
    DOCTOR_WHO_2005/
    SEASON_00/
    DOCTOR_WHO_2005_S00E01.mkv

    DOCTOR_WHO_2005/
    SEASON_00/
    EXTRAS/
    DISK16_EXTRA01.mkv
    DISK16_EXTRA02.mkv

    But then, the first episode will be shown as "Special - children in need", while the DVD shows the name "The next doctor" and this is right, checking the video (story with David Tennant and the Cybermen around a man who thinks he is the doctor, with a giant mech and a balloon).

    So, this naming seems to be off.

    Did anybody ever solve this problem?
    I found several similar topics in this forum, but no definite guide for a working naming scheme ...

    IMDB shows this first special like this:

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1321969/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_4

    But that does not give a hint for a proper naming.

    EDIT: Naming the first special S00E00 does also not help.

    It is a lot of manual work. Pretty had to look what the disc case says were on the disk and had to map that to a season number and episode number on TMDB. All manually.

    For the really small files, like your 19MB menu file, don't bother extracting them. You can put them in an extras folder if you want, but I don't see the point.

    Specials are for things like Christmas episodes that aren't part of the regular season.

    But, again, this is all manual work.

    The filenames (S00E01) must match the source you're scraping from. If you haven't made any changes, you're likely using the default scraper (TheMovieDB). In that case, you'll need to match the filenames accordingly.

    Next, I tried to use the name of the special directly:

    THE_NEXT_DOCTOR.mkv

    This shows up in Jellyfin like this:

    Code:
    Doctor Who
    Specials - Special - THE_NEXT_DOCTOR

    So it just uses the file name and does not recognise the special.

    All very strange.

    Doctor Who is such popular - I hope someone already solved the naming.

    Oh, that link did help indeed!
    Many thanks!

    It shows that the special on the first disk is indeed the 9th special from 2008.

    That means, the sequence on the disks is OFF!

    That also means, there is no good way to name the files.
    I need to check the names manually and then find the right number from the link you gave!

    I will try myself with this - and post the results!
    That may take some time, as I am still ripping for some time.

    Thanks again!!!

    I tested like this:

    DOCTOR_WHO_2005_S00E09.mkv

    And YES, that worked and did find the right meta data!

    Great many thanks!
