Not sure if this should or could be solved in sorttv, but here it is:
It seems like "specials" have to be named s00e99 for it to be picked up xbmc (or I guess it is tvdb that have this requirement).
Meaning that Game.of.Thrones.S01E00 should be Game.of.Thrones.S00E01. It would make sense that xbmc handle both formats but I think xbmc depends on tvdb for this?

[quote]That's a good point, but if it's a special you don't want it to be picked up as part of the season... or is it like battlestar galactica's introductory mini serie? [/QUOTE
In this case I am not sure, but both scenarios exists. I think in Lost they often started the season with a 00 episode? To be honest I am not 100% sure how it does work but the xbmc wiki only gives the s00 solution which at least in this case match the tvdb info.
EDIT: Looking at lost it seems like special have to be 00 and this information is supplemented with air date and "aired before".
The same applies to battlestar it seems.

quck question: from what I understand, SortTV cannot/will not monitor a directory for new files to Sort? rather, it must be called or scheduled to run at predefined intervals? thus, updates to XBMC are not live/realtime?

Hi, I've just started using this script for sorting my TV shows, and also for sorting my movies (just moving them from one folder to another) - I'm experiencing some errors, though:
I use the MOVE-AND-LEAVE-SYMLINK-BEHIND option. Often, when moving TV show episodes, no symlink is left behind, but a folder with "corrupted" files is. I suspect this can be because the TV show isnt on TVDB..?
Also, when moving a movie, the same thing happens - all the time, though. This far, it's been a managable task to manually fix the symlinks when my torrent program reports corrupted files, but I think that in the long run, it gets a bit annoying..
Are these errors known, or am i just unlucky/using the script wrong..?

Is there any way to disable the "season" subfolders? I dont use seasons as as soon as the show is watched it's deleted and I would rather not have to go into yet another folder.
would it be as easy as commenting out the follwing in the move_an_ep sub?
$newpath = $season;
if I replace that with
$newpath = ''; will that eliminate the soring into season directories?
