How to get Special episodes which usually don't have Absolute Numbers

Hi

I’m trying to use Sonarr to download TV Shows automatically… as far as the episode numbering is consistent (which it usually is in TVDB), Sonarr does its job just fine.

But anime usually has lots of OVA thrown in between episodes… since Sonarr tends to use the Absolute Number of the episode to do its thing, most of the time it is unable to download any of the episodes (which are usually in the “Specials” folder) because they don’t have Absolute Numbers.

This isn’t an issue for Anime as there are lots of Standard series with Special episodes…

Is there any way for us to download Special episodes which are without Absolute Numbers? some series have many episodes and trying to add just one absolute number without fixing all the following episodes would result in conflicts…

Thanks

No afaik OVAs cannot be handled automatically. For normal series Specials are kinda hit & miss depending on how the releases are named, for Anime it’s simply no.

Thanks for the clarification…
