Hi there,

I'm fairly new to all this but i just wanted to query how the ordering works on the TV Seasons..?

For example, Gold Rush Season 1 shows ep 11 as a Special. Under specials this is ep 1. XMBC looks up this info and under Season 1 puts ep11 (s00-e01) before s01-e01.

I had a similar thing with Spartacus. The specials were the prequal due to the original actor dying. This was aired after season 1 but again XBMC puts the specials in before s01. I wouldn't have noticed this until my brother pointed it out as he had watched them all on tv.

Is there any way to get TVDB or XBMC to re-arrange these shows into the correct order?

Thanks.

Specials (or Season 0) have options to list them either as Airing after a season or airing before a particular episode.
If you think the order of these is incorrect you'd need to post on the Series Requests forum, making sure to cite sources to back up your reasoning.

Just to note however, the prequel to Spartacus is listed as airing before season one due to it occurring prior to the events in said season. This is more of a logical arrangement than anything and imho makes the most sense. We do this a lot with other series so it isn't exclusive to Spartacus.

Hi,

Just to clarify, where did you get your aired information from? As far as I know season 01 was 2010 and the speacials or prequel were 2011 and season 02 is 2012. So the specials should appear after season 01 when XBMC looks up the tv show info. I can't change this order in XBMC as it gets this from TVDB. so i just have to select the correct season manually when watching. Other shows that are correctly setup insert the specials in the correct season when necessary like Battlestar Galactica where the pilot is a special but it appears under season 01 when i play it.

If its not going to be changed then no worries, but it would nice. I started watching Spartacus from the specials but this turned out to be halfway through the whole thing so i was totally lost until my brother had pointed it out as he had watched them on tv from the beginning.

I know the wiki is not the best source of info but i believe this to be the correct order: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Spartacus_episodes

Thanks

These aren't mutually exclusive As hikaricore has commented we have these seasons/shows listed in chronological order for the storyline. So although the prequel was made and aired after the first season, it makes sense in many ways to list it before. The same way that Star Wars was made in the order Episode 4,5,6,1,2,3 but most people will list them as 1-6 And no order won't change unless the senior mods all have a sudden change of mind.
(N.B I've not actually seen Spartacus myself)
