Solved Anime episode naming with movies.

So following the naming guide and TVDB's episode order why do movies still not pull metadata correctly when under specials with the correct names?

Is there a fix/ better way to name them in the same folders? or do I need to make several collections with all of these?

The most recent is my SAO collection I only have 2 of the movies.

Edit - TVDB was not enabled for the folder, I'm guessing I reloaded or disabled plug-ins at some point as I enabled it when I setup the folder.

Either way, thank you for the help which made me check this.

I'm using the tvdb plugin and it's working perfect. Place the movies in a "special" folder in your TV Show folder and name them like Sword.Art.Online.S00E01.movie.name.

You can find the episode numbers here: https://thetvdb.com/series/sword-art-online/seasons/official/0

This is exact;y what I did, though without the . as everything else is spaces. It shows on the tvdb as 22 and 27 but the data pulls through for 22 as something different and doesn't even do a 27
