I can get specials to show up by putting them in season 0, but you do you mid-season specials to show up in the proper place?

Fox example, Cowboy Bebop has the movie taking place between 22 and 23:

Have you actually tried?
XBMC should use the "Airs before" data.

Now I am curious...

It will scrape from thetvdb.com and put it in the right place but what field do you use in an NFO and what format does it need to be in? (I tried <airsbefore>04x01</airsbefore>...no such luck.) I tried to export to see but it went weird on me. I don't see it in the wiki either.

I've tried... but if I put it in season 0 it just shows up before S0, and I can't get XBMC to recognize the other ways I've tried...

What should I rename the file so that it does this?

I tested with season 4 of BSG, Razor showed up fine at the beginning of s4.

Do you have a specific example?

@J_K_M_A_N
Exporting the same shows this:
<displayseason>4</displayseason>
<displayepisode>1</displayepisode>

Cool. Thanks sho.

Ah, got it working now... was having troubles with the Futurama movies.

I know I know, old thread but I'd be interested to know how this exactly works too.
As currently it looks like this for me

\TV Shows\Cowboy Bebop\Season 0\
-- Cowboy Bebop - S00E01 - Knockin' on Heaven's Door.mkv
\TV Shows\Cowboy Bebop\Season 1\
-- Cowboy Bebop - S01E01 - Asteroid Bluse.mkv
-- Cowboy Bebop - S01E02 - Stray Dog Strut.mkv
etc.

So what do I have to do to get the Movie to show up between Episode 22 and 23 where it's supposed to be?

If I enable the "Flatten TV Shows..." option, it's the first entry in my Library when I select Cowboy Bebop. If i don't enable this option, it's listed under "Season Specials"

you need to specify displayseason and displayepisode.. it's the episode it displays *after* iirc.

you need to specify displayseason and displayepisode.. it's the episode it displays *after* iirc.

Technically this is how it work you mean? This info have to be in the database?
But if the info is correct in tvdb I believe it is working by itself?
(I though airdate was enough)

So I take the NFO of the Movie

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  <runtime>110</runtime>
  <aired>2001-09-01</aired>

  <season>0</season>

  <plot>A tanker truck is blown to smithereens in the middle of a busy street, and a deadly viral infection is released with the explosion. The Bebop crew - Spike Spiegel, Jet Black, Faye Valentine, and Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV - are instantly after the culprit when the gargantuan reward of 300,000,000 woolongs is announced. But the case gets stranger and stranger as the cold-blooded Vincent Volaju, who supposedly has been dead for ten years, seems to be the prime suspect. Meanwhile, Spike encounters the dangerous Electra, who too seeks the madman. Conspiracies and secrets better left alone are uncovered, and Vincent's reign or terror is nowhere near over yet...</plot>

And add this at the bottom of the NFO before </episodedetails>?

Code:

<displayseason>1</displayseason>
  <displayepisode>23</displayepisode>

Will try that.

€dit: Tried that and it worked. Thanks a lot spiff!
