Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Episode number is for the below Legacies link is '14' but youtube-dl keeps saying it's '04'. This has occurred for every Legacies episode past 10. For example, '11' is returned as '01'.

When I look at the dump using the write-pages parameter, I can see the following info in one of the files and it shows it as episode 14.

<param name="assetId" value="a86515a5-2a0e-43d8-9546-64f1bc4f6da4"/> <param name="brand" value="CWTV"/> <param name="bugEnabled" value="false"/> <param name="contentType" value="Full Episodes"/> <param name="episodeNumber" value="14"/> <param name="isFullEpisode" value="true"/> <param name="publishDate" value="2019-03-14T00:00:00-0700"/> <param name="seasonNumber" value="1"/> <param name="seriesCode" value="LGC"/> <param name="seriesTitle" value="Legacies"/> <param name="tmsId" value="EP029731020014"/> <param name="videoId" value="a86515a5-2a0e-43d8-9546-64f1bc4f6da4"/>

As far as I can tell the following line is what causes this issue.
episode = episode.lstrip(season)
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/cwtv.py#L82

[jaylweb]

That makes sense. If the episode number was 114, then lstrip(1) would remove "11" leaving "4" since it removes all of the "1" characters at the left of the string.

Could the solution be as simple as this?
episode = episode[1:]
