Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information
When downloading TBS videos, the wrong title is being extracted. You'll see bolded above in the example that I am attempting to download Episode 2 titled "Under Cover", yet Episode 1, "Finding Reality" downloads instead. No matter which episode I attempt to download from that season, it keeps trying to download "Finding Reality".
I found a similar behavior on Big Bang Theory episodes as well...only the first one on the page will download,
