I think something that would help with this situation would be Plex finishing the build for the TMDB Episode Group feature. Jellyfin handles flipping TMDB Episode Groups really well and I’ve found it’s more seamless than flipping between TVDB\TMDB order. Emby is working to support it as well (it’s “moving up the list”).
Episode Groups can be setup to include specials inline and are more flexible to create than TVDBs DVD\Absolute options which are kinda cumbersome to setup and manage there.
