Feature request: Option to skip Specials (Season 0)

[Quiksmage]

Feature description

Option to not have Specials/Season 0 scanned or skipped? Not sure how feasible this is.

Use case

Prevent warnings in log due to discreprency between tvdb and tmdb. I assume this slows down the sync time since it has to attempt to process these files each time.

Missing context. What warnings? Make examples! Links to previous discussions?

Hi,
here are some examples. Let me know if you need any further details. It's been a while, so I don't recall what conversations I may have had. It's mainly an anime problem. Thanks!

You can filter out warnings if you want:

Thanks for the resource.
Would it be possible to filter out s00 specifically?
It's still useful to see these errors otherwise if something wasn't properly matched or needs to be fixed.

I answered my own question by testing.
using the following filter, I no longer see anything related to s00.

  filter:
    - level: WARNING
      message: "s00"

It's great not to have to see this spam anymore, but does this impact performance when things don't match like this? I assume if something matches, it'll get cached which makes subsequent syncs faster, correct? If that's true, then the option to ignore these entirely could make things faster?

As trakt doesn't have specials no point to make trakt query for matching specials.

Started something:

I agree with this feature request.
If users don't want to mess with Specials episodes order or matching, they could toggle a skip specials boolean in settings.
