Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Please add the ability to provide an optional number mask for season_number and episode_number outputs. For example, I would want "s1e1" to be "s01e01".

This allows my files to line up in the correct order in my file system. I also use Plex, which uses the naming convention "ShowName - sXXeYY - Optional_Info.ext" for TV shows, where XX is the season number and YY is the episode number.
