    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?

    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 !
