Description

i was having a difficult time matching delimited episode names AND season names.

since episodes follow:

show.name.Sxx.Exx.resolution.source

and seasons:

show.name.year.Sxx.reso.source

and sometimes show names end in S followed by year when its a duplicate named show after the original. i'd get bad matches with movie names. hopefully this can help someone with a similar issue
