:::

Specials can also be shown within a season if so desired. This can be helpful when they are part of a continued storyline during the season. This requires 2 settings:

1. The option `Display specials within their series they aired in` under `Dashboard -> Library -> Display` must be enabled
2. The season and episode they aired before/after must be set within the metadata.
- These can be set in the Metadata editor or in an NFO using the `airsbefore_season`, `airsafter_season`, and `airsbefore_episode` tags.
- The `Airs before series` field can be set to show (and play) the special at the start of the season. It can also be combined with the `Airs before episode` field to insert it as a mid-season special before the specified episode.
- With `Airs after series`, set the Special will be shown (and played) at the end of the specified Season and the `Airs before series/episode` fields (if set) will have no effect.

Note that this will show them in both the `Specials` season, as well as the season specified.
