This has a more generic extraction routine than in tv_grab_uk_rt (e.g. your  extract_numbering_from_episode is also done on title) to better cater for the data formats seen in some non-UK grabbers. By which I mean we don't get things like "(1/6) Red Dwarf" in Atlas derived data but I have seen this format in some Spanish sites.

As noted earlier, I wonder if being able to additionally specify rules
in regex form, in addition to the rules hardcoded in the library,
would help in this situation. Alternatively, having more-specific
rules to cater for various title/subtitle formats would allow only a
subset to be enabled where required.

They would as-is, but I tend to fixup such subtitles to replace
hyphens with colons, so they wouldn't normally get processed.

With MB doing a much better job at providing better listings (refusing
to correct errors, or pass details back upstream is a little
frustrating) there is much less need for some of these rules to be
enabled for Atlas-based grabbers.

Cheers,
Nick
