Server Version#:1.16.1.1291  
Player Version#:1.16.1.1291

I’m new to Plex but from searching around I know this is a well-worn subject! But I want to do the best possible, so could someone tell me the way to add specials?

I have added all 4 series of Blackadder and they work fine, but there are a bunch of specials too that I would like to add. They are all listed on TVDB under Specials (so that is what I have named the folder they are in). They show up in my library so that’s ok, but I don’t know how to (or whether I can) name them properly? I am currently using:

Blackadder - s05e02 - The Cavalier Years

e02 is because this special is listed as ‘2’ in the list on TVDB. s05 is just because I assume I have to give it a season number. They just show up as ‘Episode 1’, ‘Episode 2’… It would be nice to give them the proper names if possible.

What should I be doing?
