Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

When downloading videos from crunchyroll and using the -o option youtube-dl replaces season with NA and replaces series with season name, incidentally it also replaces season_id and season_number with NA as well.

The full option and argument I'm passing: -o 'D:/crunchyroll/anime/%(series)s/%(season)s/%(episode_number)s - %(episode)s.%(ext)s'

A free example video that has a different series and season name: http://www.crunchyroll.com/a-certain-scientific-railgun/episode-47-silent-party-727385
