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 KRename for renaming multiple files.

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 ;)

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 :)

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.

I use nomino for this purpose.

This can be done natively in Thunar if you happen to use XFCE.
