Anime "specials" season is incorrectly assigned, even when thetvdb.com is correct

Metadata & Artwork

I have a copy of Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team (TVDB: 機動戦士ガンダム 第08MS小隊 - TheTVDB.com ). The main show episodes are classified correctly, but the two specials I have are not.

The specials are s00e01 and s00e02, and I have double-checked that Infuse is seeing those strings in the filename. Instead, it’s giving them the metadata of s00e03 and s00e04, respectively. Somewhat confusingly, TVDB’s all-season ordering page puts those two specials first: 機動戦士ガンダム 第08MS小隊 - Aired Order - All Seasons - TheTVDB.com – but if you scroll down that page, you’ll see Special 0x1 and Special 0x2 listed in between the regular episodes, which is I guess when they occur in narrative order.

If I rename s00e02 to s00e11 it gets the right name, but this is confusing because there are 12 specials total of which this is the last (of the specials) in narrative order, so I have no idea why 11 would be the right number. s00e12 causes it to find no metadata at all.

Infuse uses TMDB metadata and not TVDB. I’m having issues with metadata from TMDB as well for certain anime because I’m using Sonarr, and I would love for Infuse to have the ability to switch between the two providers.

As stated above, Infuse uses TMDB not TVDB.

You can see how this series is organized and what the correct episode numbers and special numbers are here.

Oh, well, that explains everything as well as some other metadata weirdness I saw. Not sure why I thought it was TVDB.
