Describe the bug

Episode with season and episode number (over 100?) are placed into season Unknown, even thou there is a season defined.
I think this might be related to #1180.

To Reproduce
Add a file named like my example
The Daily Show/The Daily Show 24x103 - 2019-05-20 Kirsten Gillibrand [WEBDL-720p][AAC 2.0][x264]-TBS.mkv
JF finds the episode and saves metadata. TVDBID is saved and correct. But a dummy season Unknown is created instead of season 24.

Expected behavior

Correct season # should be created, not Season Unknown

Logs

No errors in logs

I did some testing and this is related my files being identified by date by JF. If they are id'd by date, JF won't save the season information for the episode.

My naming convention puts the date in the title for daily type tv shows. JF doesn't match the season and episode numbers provided, only the date. Episode is placed in Season Unknown.

The Daily Show 24x118 - 2019-06-17 Christine Lagarde [WEBDL-720p][AAC 2.0][x264]-TBS.mkv

If I rename the file to exclude the date, the season episode is matched correctly, and episode is placed in Season 24.

Does Kodi and others handle this? I expect so, but it seems like such a strange kind of failure.

I'm not sure how other jukeboxes process this, as I'm not running any other ones anymore.

Thanks Jellyfin team! :)
