+1 for krename, otherwise if the new filenames are complex and should be calcolated I use python

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.

Dolphin has that ability built in. If you use it, highlight all of the episodes and press f2. Pretty self explanatory from there.

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.
