Feature: Skip episodes from Specials

[glensc]

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

My test episode from specials is actually marked as Season 1...

Relevant inspect info:

Media.Type: 'episode'
Media.Guid: 'com.plexapp.agents.thetvdb://293454/5/2016-08-31?lang=en'

update: messed up episode vs season: 13396a7

Actually, there are specials in trakt:

• https://trakt.tv/shows/the-day-of-the-triffids-2009/seasons/0

should this be configurable then?

This PR breaks the sync of specials episodes.
It doesn't solve the #1033 which is asking for an option. Where is the option ?

so, when assigned as reviewer, was expecting your comment how to handle this.

seems there are specials in trakt, but not always. basically you can come up with anything and put it as special in your library. i.e. promotion video, trailer.

Keep it as a draft then.

No, those are Extra, not Specials.

what about e00? is it special or extra?

WARNING  Sherlock/s03e00/Episode 0 (None): Skipping <PlexGuid:com.plexapp.agents.thetvdb://176941/3/0?lang=en> not found on Trakt

[simonc56]

There is no episode 0.

[glensc]

but it exists:

• https://www.opensubtitles.com/en/subtitles/6841072-sherlock-s03e00-many-happy-returns-720p-webrip-aac2-0-h-264-btn

update:

listed in tvdb as s00e04:

• https://thetvdb.com/series/sherlock/seasons/official/0

I guess it appeared around s03, i.e before s03e01 release, hence internet used such naming

update 2:

seems to be listed as movie in trakt:

• https://trakt.tv/movies/sherlock-many-happy-returns-2013

update 3:

but also as special:

• https://trakt.tv/shows/sherlock/seasons/0/episodes/4

[simonc56]

Yes, providers tmdb and tvdb have different rules for episodes order.
Sometimes movies declined from a tv show are listed as special episodes in a provider, and listed as movies in other provider.
Also, sometimes seasons are splitted in 2 differents shows in one provider and remain in 1 show in another provider.
Such a mess 😄

We had an issue about it last year with Naruto Shippuden : #996 (comment)
For PTS, as readme says, tmdb order takes precedence because that's the trakt source db.

seems to be listed as movie in trakt:

• trakt.tv/movies/sherlock-many-happy-returns-2013

but also as special:

• trakt.tv/shows/sherlock/seasons/0/episodes/4

Strange to be listed twice.
I think the movie should be removed from tmdb (7m duration ?)

it really is 8 mins long
