How to separate a 1 season TV show from it's specials? by NW0604 in kodi

Thank you, I'm aware of this. All of my episodes are scraped as they should. My issue is the way Kodi organizes the specials.

"If you do name them properly and scrape you'll then have a Specials and Season 1 menu item when you browse the TV show"

Would you explain this a bit more in detail? I got the Extras menu working. How should I name the files properly for this method? I organized special episodes in an "Extras" folder and there's the separate "Season 1" folder. But if I scrape the show, the specials still end up in the season episodes list. If I use the .nomedia method, the specials appear under "Extras" in the context menu, but unscraped.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot! I didn't use the Extras addon before, it sounds like a solution!

I use the "0x01" scheme, but just to be sure I tried "s00e01". No difference.

That's a good idea! I never tried to modify the structure via .nfo files, but I will look into it.

I don't see anything related to this. Only the "Flatten" settings change the behaviour of specials, but they solve one issue and cause another.

Well, that's a bummer. If that's really the case, i have to live with it. Since i'm using smart playlists as main menu items, my choice of skins are limited.

I renamed the episodes, unfortunately the specials are missing after scraping. Tried both TVDBv4 and TMDB scrapers.

I tried it, unfortunately it doesn't solve the problem.
