Hey all. I’m looking for a bulk episode renaming application for Linux, preferably GUI. Before switching, I used Rename My TV Series 2 on Winblow. But I can’t seem to get it to work on my Pop_os 22.04. Any good alternatives would be appreciated. Thanks!
Update: A lot of the suggestions seemed too high level for what I wanted; I don’t care about how the images or posters look, I just wanted to remove the excess junk at the end of the episode names easily. The point is “H265 CougarDiverRips 1080p” isn’t really important after I download it.
Solution: Rename My TV Series 2 Linux version kept giving sqlite errors even after installing required dependencies. So I installed the Winblows version with wine. Works as expected without errors, simple drag and drop select series and go.
Sonarr is capable of bulk renaming TV shows to follow whatever naming convention you set in the settings. Even if you don’t use it for downloading new media, it does a good job of managing your collection.
Edit: Runs on linux and has a web-based GUI.
I used to obsess about file names on episodes, but now that I’m old, I just use Jellyfin because the file names don’t actually matter so long as they use standard conventions. I’ve seriously lost days of my life to renaming media files.
