Solved - Episode naming for TVDB - how to name specials for absolute order?

Hello all,

I'm trying to get my library organized and I'm having some problems with absolute order. TV/DVD order works as expected, but absolute order is having some problems when it comes to specials.

Let me use a show called Black Lagoon as an example. Let's say I'm using DVD order, with filenames like this.

Black Lagoon - 1x01 - Episode Title
Black Lagoon - 1x02 - Episode Title
...
Black Lagoon - 2x01 - Episode Title
Black Lagoon - 2x02 - Episode Title
...
Black Lagoon - 0x01 - SpecialTitle
Black Lagoon - 0x02 - SpecialTitle
...

If I do that, everything is fine. But orders other than absolute aren't really great when dealing with anime, so I decided to try switching. Suppose I use absolute and my naming looks like this.

Black Lagoon - 1x01 - Episode Title
Black Lagoon - 1x02 - Episode Title
...
Black Lagoon - 0x01 - SpecialTitle
Black Lagoon - 0x02 - SpecialTitle

So all the main series episodes are named as 1x___ and all the specials are named as 0x___, with absolute ordering. Now if I do that, the main series scrapes just fine. However, the specials don't show up. Tried a similar scheme with a couple shows, same result.

Bottom line. When using absolute ordering, how should I name specials?
