How to set episode ids with decimals as unique episodes?

Episode 7.5 is being considered the same episode as 7 by my config and is not being downloaded:

I tried specifying a custom id_regexp such as (\d{2})(?:\.(\d))? or a custom special_id such as . (since it doesn't accept regex) but they both fail to differentiate between the two episodes.

Tried with a different id_regexp but no luck: (\d{2}(?:\.\d)?)

The show is in sequence format, defining id_regexp wouldn't help there, you'd need sequence_regexp but the value has to be an integer.
You could try using manipulate to add a Specials keyword to Float identifiers. Something like this maybe?

manipulate:
  - title:
      replace:
        regexp: \b(\d{1,3})\.5\b
        format: Special \1

Unrelated: That's a lot of effort for mid-season recaps 😜

Ah there it goes my will to debug this non-issue then..

The fact it was considering them as the same episode was bothering me because I was under the assumption the episode was something new. I like your solution. Is it possible to use manipulate on a single show entry? Like so:

series:
  - my show:
      manipulate:

"Yesn't". Just tighten the expression with the show name
