I have 291 episodes named tv.show.01.mp4 to tv.show.291.mp4 and i want rename them to be named like Tv Show Episode S01E01.mp4. I use Linux so please suggest only FOSS compatible programs
I use KRename for renaming multiple files.
+1 for krename, otherwise if the new filenames are complex and should be calcolated I use python
I second krename. Works flawlesly for me.
krenamer can do this. It just is a regex front end. You could do it with a shell script too.
That’s what i started using :)
how can you identify season from the file name?
One approach: Look up what TV show has 291 episodes; land on this Wikipedia page which gives you the season lengths.
good and fun idea ;)
You can take a look at “sonarr”, it’s made for managing your tv-shows and it can automatic rename and organize your files, with customizable naming schem.
I use nomino for this purpose.
This can be done natively in Thunar if you happen to use XFCE.
Dolphin has that ability built in. If you use it, highlight all of the episodes and press f2. Pretty self explanatory from there.

Would the tvnamer utility help?
I looked into it yesterday, and i don’t think is good for me, I actually need the format S01E01 and not its standard like [1x01]
