I've got all of the Doctor Who's (seasons 1 to 6) which include the Christmas Specials ripped from my DVD's and sitting on my Hard Drive for XBMC to view...

Thing is, these also include the Christmas Specials and the other Specials (webisodes etc..) which XBMC has ignored!..

The main episodes are sorted and named:

TV/Doctor Who (2005)/Season 1/Doctor Who (2005) - 1x01 - Rose.mp4

Which XBMC scraped with no problems! :)

However I don't know how to name the Specials so the same will happen!!

TV/Doctor Who (2005)/Season 1/Doctor Who (2005) - Special - Christmas Invasion.mp4

Anyone care to help me, tell me how to rename the specials so XBMC sees them :) :)

Cheers
Sim.
 
All Specials are treated as Season 0 - take a look at the list here on TheTVDB and name them accordingly.

So, for the special you noted, use the following format:

TV/Doctor Who (2005)/Season 0/Doctor Who (2005) - 0x02 - Christmas Invasion.mp4
 
Dude!!! Sweet!!!..

I now have a 'Specials' folder showing in my Doctor Who

Now to work my way through the rest of my TV recordings and DVD's!! :)
 
thetvdb is a fantastic resource - well worth donating to as they provide the API for free use with xbmc meaning it really can't be ad driven
