Just wondering if this will ever be fixed? Zidoo seems to blame TVDB API Yet every other media manager I've tried works fine with the same series like Kodi, Emby and plex all show the correct episodes. On zidoo for many shows that have specials, it will show the specials as S01E01, S02E01,S03E01 all showing the same S00E01 Special instead of the regular TV Show episodes that belong to those seasons........ IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS!
Can you shed some more light into this please? Let’s take Billions for example: https://www.thetvdb.com/series/billions All the extras are in Season 0 on theTVdb. I have the show scanned with Jellyfin and I have the extras from the BDs ripped as S01E00 and put it in the Season 1 folder. Example: Billions/Season 1/Billions.S01E00 Character Development.mkv Jellfin does not scrape those correctly. I don’t get any information from theTVdb and it just displays the name of the file. However, they are in Season 1. I prefer to have the extras in the corresponding season as you, but Zidoo only does how theTVdb has them listed.
What I;m saying is that I have for example Big Bang Theory Season 1-10 that's it. However many special episodes there are listed on TVDB is what it will show for the same amount of episodes for every season. Even though I don't have the specials, it shows S01E01,S02E01,S03E01,S04E01,S05E01,S06E01,S07E01,S08E01,S09E01S10E01 AS S00E01 - unaired pilot. There are 6 specials for this show, so the first 6 episodes of every season show the same 6 specials instead of the proper episodes.
I just did a test and I feel like I found the solution. I think this is a problem with the filename. Exemple: The Flash (2014) -The Flash (2014).S07E01.(1080p)(AAC) -The Flash (2014).S07E02.(1080p)(AAC)... TVDB finds me well season 7 and does not put me the special episodes.
@mirror maybe you could mention this to Zidoo. I haven't tested it yet though, but will in a few hours when I get home. I will update this after I test it.
I tried the Zidoo naming convention on one of my shows and it didn't make a difference. It still shows the specials as episode 1 and 2,3,4 etc....
I just tried again and for my part, I have no more worries as in the picture. https://thetvdb.com/series/the-flash-2014/episodes/8020119
