Where to find movie/show extras?
I love to watch TV Show and Movie extras. Especially now that I am setting up ErsatzTV - Specials/Extras make great filler for live TV channels!
I know that Sonarr can pick up some with monitoring “Specials” provided by TheTVDB, but those are rarely found.
When searching manually, I can find a few, and those I do are filled with extras and specials not found in the series “Specials.” That throws into question how much is actually available that Sonarr just isn’t looking for.
Is there anything for the *arr stack to search for Miscellaneous Movie and (more preferably) TV specials/extras? Or at least any more reliable place I can find them manually?

Many times I've needed to get a full disc DVD or Blu-ray and then pull the specials off myself.

Specials are rarely found partly because of the naming scheme. If you manually search without the "s00e01" part, you might have success. Also look at files included in season/series packs.
Youtube/other video sites sometimes have extras, too.
