I have the new Battlestar Galactica series and the first 2 episodes were a miniseries (Part 1 and Part 2). They are not showing up in Plex, I am guessing it can't match it? Is there anyway to force this through?
They are specials (according to TVDB). And it should be noted that Battlestar Galactica is not the same as Battlestar Galactica (2003)... So, assuming the SciFi version, try:
\TV Shows\Battlestar Galactica (2003)\Specials\S00E01 - The Miniseries (1).mkv
\TV Shows\Battlestar Galactica (2003)\Specials\S00E02 - The Miniseries (2).mkv
Those would appear in a Specials folder on Plex.
The Media Preparation guide contains more information about ensuring your shows are matched properly.

Plex gets all info from the TVDB or themoviedatabase which both put the mini series in Specials which is season 0
http://www.themoviedb.org/tv/1972-battlestar-galactica/season/0
http://thetvdb.com/?tab=season&seriesid=73545&seasonid=5950&lid=7
So whichever you use you need to use S00E01 and S00E02 in the titles. ( tv shows need the SXXEXX notation to be recognized by the scanner at all )
I personally just combined the two episodes into a single file and have it as episode 0 of season 1 ( need to input metadata manually if you do this)
