krenamer can do this. It just is a regex front end. You could do it with a shell script too.

I use KRename for renaming multiple files.

how can you identify season from the file name?

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

One approach: Look up what TV show has 291 episodes; land on this Wikipedia page which gives you the season lengths.
