    Hi, 
    I have here the problem that Jellyfin does not automatically fill the "Special Information" part in Special episodes.

    I correctly finds the episode´s name and Special number, AND the TVDB´s episode ID, but then does not fill the data.
    I always have to fill this metadata myself.

    ie.: It found ID: 334734, but it did not fill out when the episode has to be played.

    Make sure to put the episode in the Season 00 folder and number the episodes to match the media provider you are using:

    Season 00 ? oO
    I was convinced that the correct folder is Specials.... damn
    I will try to change it with one TV SHow to check if something changes.

    Anyway, but why should this be the problem? The episodes info is correctly loaded and only the special info is missing. Shouldn´t that be independet of that?

    Pretty sure you can use "Season 00", or "Specials".

    I use "Specials" and have had no issues.
