Having an option to be able to specify which method the folder is named with, like is possible for the ‘Regular/Anime/Aired By’ standards would be a welcome change. It’s true that XBMC will recognize either, but aside from the issue listed above, I think there is a lot of scope for duplicates, wasted space, extra time for syncs, or accidental deletion. Neither Sonarr, OR TMM allow the user to specify what the name of this folder should be. TMM will rename any ‘Specials’ folders back to ‘Season 0’ folders, so when syncing the changes it’s necessary to get Sonarr to re-scan every one of my 110 shows to get it to re-detect the now changed Specials folder. The issue comes when working on the local (essentially, the backup) copy of the media library. This is handy for me, as the NAS is in operation 24/7, whereas the desktop is not. I Have Sonarr running and referencing the files on the NAS. The changes are then synced back to the NAS either via CIFS/SMB or via Rsync depending on the size of the modifications to that library. So I have a local copy of everything on the NAS, also on the desktop I do all my tagging/scraping/organizing on. I store all my media remotely on the home network on a NAS device, but tagging/scraping or modifying files remotely on a network-based device can lead to issues with corrupt files/improperly set permissions, general latency, etc, etc. ![]() ![]() For example, tinyMediaManager uses the ‘Season 0’ format for special folder naming. This discrepancy will cause issues with 3rd-party scrapers, for those people who wish to tag/scrape their media collections outside of XBMC/Kodi. Sorry for resurrecting this old topic, but I’m facing this issue myself at this time.
