Just follow the wiki nomenclature so...
Babylon 5>Season 1>Babylon.S01E01.avi
Babylon 5>Season 1>Babylon.S01E02.avi
Babylon 5>Season 1>Babylon.S01E03.avi
etc.
You'll be gold.

What episodes are you expecting to see? - if you have them named like that, then that is what you'll get from the scraper. If however you are expecting - 'The Gathering' and 'In The Beginning' as eps 1 and 2, then you're out of luck as the tvdb lists them as Specials and they will have to be named as S00E01 and S00E02.
Looks like there's been some discussion previously on the displayed order over at the tvdb forums - a quick search over there will provide information on their logic.

Hi!
I'm actually experiencing the same problem with Babylon 5 sraping using DVD order.
After taking a look at the database entries at thetvdb, I think I found the problem with the Babylon 5 specials. In the DVD order episode listing they wrongly entered the DVD episode number as epsiode 1 and 2 for the specials "The Gathering" and "In the Beginning". You can see this if you click on the special episodes for details.
Compared to the episode entries found for e.g. "Battlestar Galactica" this seems to be wrong. The entry details "DVD Season" and "DVD Episode Number" should be left empty on specials, if they are not part of the DVD box set.
A quick workaround for this problem is, to explicitly set the scraper to use the aired order for Babylon 5.
Cheers,
Zap

Sorry to resurrect a really old thread...
Where did you place the "specials" files...
In the specific season folders, or in their own "specials" folder?
Going to try the Aired Date option below later, but wanted to make sure I have the files in the correct directory structure.
Thanks
Adam

They can be in any folder. XBMC doesn't really care about sub folders inside of a TV show folder, as long as the file names are correct.

Just to follow up on this...
Checked scrapper settings for this and I'm set to Aired Order already.
File names get a match from thetvdb using FileBot, so assume the scrapper would be ok.
Next step will be to rename the specials as s00e0x as per the above to see if that makes a difference...
At present scapper doesn't attempt to look at the specials at all though.
