local-metadata: Movies detected as episodes of a series

Totem displays this: Monty.Python.and.the.Holy.Grail.1975.1080p.BluRay.x264.mp4 as if it was "Season 19 Episode 75". Another example: My.Neighbor.Totoro.1988.1080p.BluRay.X264.mkv shows as "Season 19 Episode 88". It appears that it misinterprets the year in the filename. I could remove all the years from the names of my movies, but I really like to remember which year they were released by looking at the filename. Not sure how you'd go about solving this (or even if you should bother), but I do wonder if the 4 number format for a season number is common enough (I know the S01E01 and 1x1 format, and I never saw a file which had a four numbers format for season/episode).
The regex should be fixed to ignore that particular style if it starts with "19" or "20". But this isn't a very good heuristic. Maybe we need to remove support for that particular style of episode "tagging".
