Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Using upload date as part of the filename does not currently work for PornHub. It returns as "NA". However, the download link for the URL (https://dv.phncdn.com/videos/201803/30/160174772/720P_1500K_160174772.mp4?ttl=1536954157&ri=1024000&rs=1336&hash=27fa07970e50d0438542065ffa76f204) does include a date as part of the path. The date for this video would be 20180330.

This log doesn't show me the URL used for the thumbnail, but from manually downloading in my browser thumbnail URLs look similar to this (https://ci.phncdn.com/videos/201803/30/160174772/original/(m=eaf8Ggaaaa)(mh=UmEnowyK5JLDUYr1)5.jpg). The date is available there as well to write the proper date for the thumbnail.

Can youtube-dl use this to write the upload date properly for PornHub?
