Rename is a *nix tool to rename files according to modification rules specified on the command line.
The examples below show how to rename common naming schemes from toreented moveies and tv shows in the way that Plex can parse to gather metadata. The examples all currently use the -n
flag to do a dry run and only print out what the files would be renamed to. Remove the flag to actually overwrite the filename.
