Comment(by robert.mcnamara at gmail.com):

 A new unified patch.  Supercedes all previous.

 New version adds a lot of fixes.  Notably, all image types are now hunted
 before downloading.  If a cover, fanart, or banner exists for a given
 movie or season, the local copy will be used.  This saves a lot of
 hammering on the grabber sources.

 A small improvement to the Season/Episode sort type to make it still
 behave as "Title" sort when no seasons or episodes are set (movies).

 Biggest improvement is in the parsing of the filenames.  All the filename
 parsing is replaced with a new function, FilenameToMeta.  This determines
 the season, episode, title, and subtitle of an imported file.  If you have
 a file named "Lost S01E01 - Pilot.mpg", you will end up with "Lost" as the
 title, "Pilot" as the subtitle, and 01 and 01 for season and episode.
 This cleans up a lot of code duplication and parses the subtitle nicely, a
 difference from the previous versions of the patch.  To make TTVDB work
 you only need something close to right in the title, and season and
 episode values, but this sets them pretty close right off the bat.  Of
 course, if season/episode are not present, the old logic works and sets
 just the title, with 0/Null values in season/episode/subtitle.  In tests,
 100% accurate parsing was possible for formats like:

 Lost s01e02 - Pilot.ext
 Lost 1x02 - Pilot.ext
 Lost 1x02.ext
 Lost s01e02.ext

 It will also work with any period, dash, underscore, or space delimiter.
