Bug Description

[Problem]
Sometimes subdownloader will suggest a subtitle that belongs to episode X while I'm searching for subtitles for episode Y.

[Example]
So the video will have a filename like Show.name.S03E14.quality.group.avi and subdownloader will find 3 subtitles, 2 of which have S03E14 in the filename, but 1 of which has S02E07 in the file name and the latter is the one that subdownloader is checked (selected to be downloaded when I hit the download button)

[Expected]
Subdownloader only shows subtitles for the same show and episode. So for episode S03E02 of Show1 only shows files which have Show1 in the file name and have S03E02 or 3x02 or something similar in the filename.

[Priority]
When you download subtitles manually with the GUI it's not a big deal (though a bit annoying) but when you download the subs automatically (cron job) like I do, it means you get the wrong subs and you'll find out when you start watching the show, which is more annoying.

I'll attach a screenshot of an example of this behavior. (you even see a subtitle of the movie Real Steal being found for an episode of the Game of Thrones)

Thanks for your all your work!

If, by the way, the problem lies in the source (bad data @ opensubtitles.org), subdownloader could still filter out the wrong subtitles based on filename (it could even be a setting wether it should do that)

I think is not possible to know which subtitles it wrong or not. opesubtitles.org, must list subtitles.

I think SubDownloader could make an educated guess. If the filename of the selected video contains something like "S02E05" (like in the screenshot of comment #1) you can filter out subtitle results that don't have "S02E05" or "02x05" or something like that in the file name. Right?
This could be an option of course and it wouldn't have to be default behaviour. Also you could somehow indicate when results are hidden/left out because this feature is turned on.
