Missing episodes in "After season" specials #57

Description

Some TV Shows have "Special Episodes" that should be played before or after some episode or season. These episodes are usually catalogued as belonging to "Season 00" (S00E??). The episode number can be quite arbitrary.

As an example I will use "Doctor Who (2005)" and in particular Season 4. A list of episodes and specials can be found at the TVDB Doctor Who (2005) Season 4. The long list of specials is available at Doctor Who (2005) Specials.

Currently, the TV Kodi interface shows these special episodes in two different places:
a) As a "Specials" season, in TV Shows/Doctor Who (2005)/Specials
b) On the season they should be watched at their expected position (as shown on the link above)

Option b) is very user friendly as it is not obvious that after S04E13 comes S00E09. :-)

When using your (awesome) Kodi Remote, in the "TV Shows/Doctor Who (2005)" I can only find special episodes in "a)", but not listed at their expected place "b)".

It would be great if the Kodi Remote app could be improved to match the episode list shown on the Kodi interface for this Special episodes case.

I have no experience in Objective-C nor in the Kodi API, otherwise I would try to fix this by myself. If you feel you can't fix this, maybe with some pointers such as "the episode list is fetched here using this API call" I may be able to submit a pull request.
