doh! my bad -- I did not catch that you put S00E09 (I read as S04E09). Thanks a lot. Will try and if I say nothing more, please assume it works! Thanks!

I have seen some very irrational rationalizations on their forums by those in power of what constitutes a special and what not... anyways it works as intended so.....

lol, okay, so the admins have their issues as well. imo a special is anything that doesn't fit in with the normal schedule of the show - stuff without a proper episode number (such as webisodes) definitely fits that category

Episode should be named S00E09

I did this, but the scraper does not find it. Not Media Info Plus, not XBMC itself.

For mine I did the following yes with seperate folders because I'm a clean freak:

Battlestar Galactica/

Season 0/
Battlestar Galactica - S00E1.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S00E2.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S00E3.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S00E4.avi

Season 1/
Battlestar Galactica - S01E1.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S01E2.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S01E3.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S01E4.avi

Season 2/
Battlestar Galactica - S02E1.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S02E2.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S02E3.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S02E4.avi

Season 3/
Battlestar Galactica - S03E1.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S03E2.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S03E3.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S03E4.avi

Season 4/
Battlestar Galactica - S04E1.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S04E2.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S04E3.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S04E4.avi

After is scrapes it changes the Season 0 aka S00E01- whatever to a "Special" Folder listed on your XBMC with your episodes listed within. The Season 0 is the key in my opinion and you have to name your files the same. Battlestar Galactica - S00E01.avi

Mip sees this method just fine. I'm not 100% sure if the files have to be named the way I do it, but the Season 0 folder and the S00 does.

Hmm strange, I have it this way.

In other Shows does it work for me. But here is not working. strange. Will look if the filename is correct, and don“t have a spelling error.

I found the mistake. I wrote
Season 0/
Battlestar Galactica - S00.E1.avi
Battlestar Galactica - S00.E2.avi

without the "." it works. Thx

A new question: The special Episodes are shown in the Season Folders and not in a Special Folder. Is this normal? (I use Aeon)
