Jellyfin labels Season 0.5 as Specials

I have this structure in my "shows library"

Shows
   Specific show
       Season 0.5
       Season 1

Yes, the show has official Season 0.5.

Jellyfin shows Season 0.5 as "Specials".

It would be great if:

  1. jeyllyfin could detect decimal seasons
  2. Let me manually set name of season

  1. Seasons are used for identification which is then used to lookup media information from an external provider such as TMDB or TvDB. Please use the season number from the providers, not the season title.
  2. Editing season names is already possible.
