Rename subtitles files according to tv shows names found in a directory

# Renames subtitles files according to tv shows names found in a directory
# Acceped syntaxes for season/episode are: 304, s3e04, s03e04, 3x04 (case insensitive)

# Usage:
# Put this gist somewhere in your $PATH, like /usr/local/bin/subtitles-renamer

There are some issues with renaming S01E08 when you also have 1080p in the filename.

"Acceped syntaxes for season/episode are: 304..." This one conflict with 1080p in filenames (e08). Was unable to fix, so simply removed that option in the code:

if [[ "$f" =~ s([0-9]+)e([0-9]+) || "$f" =~ ([0-9]+)x([0-9]+) || "$f" =~ ([0-9]+)([0-9][0-9]) ]]; then
changed to
if [[ "$f" =~ s([0-9]+)e([0-9]+) || "$f" =~ ([0-9]+)x([0-9]+) ]]; then
_

if [[ "$movie" =~ ${SEASON}${EPISODE} || "$movie" =~ s0?${SEASON}e${EPISODE} || "$movie" =~ ${SEASON}x${EPISODE} ]]; then
changed to
if [[ "$movie" =~ s0?${SEASON}e${EPISODE} || "$movie" =~ ${SEASON}x${EPISODE} ]]; then

Awesome, Thanks.

Also, @isevcik this:

I would suggest to change order in condition:

if [[ "$f" =~ s([0-9]+)e([0-9]+) || "$f" =~ ([0-9]+)x([0-9]+) || "$f" =~ ([0-9]+)([0-9][0-9]) ]]; then

helped too.
