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
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 ;)
I use KRename for renaming multiple files.
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 :)
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.
Why not just do this with a for loop in the terminal? I don’t think you need to over complicate it by downloading another program.
