Updating file names?

Sonarr version (exact version): 2.0.0.4146
OS: Windows 10 x 64 pro
Description of issue:
I’m just trying out Sonarr and know nothing about it other than it gathered all of my downloaded shows nicely and displays them well.

I have a ton of shows downloaded with filenames like this - Billions.S01E02.1080p.mkv

I found in the media management download center tab and option to rename shows. Can that be used to rename my existing / already downloaded shows e.g. convert Billions.S01E01.1080p.mkv to Billions - S01e02 - Naming rights - 1080p?

I turned it to Yes but so far it doesn’t appear to have renamed anything.

All my TV shows that I’ve already downloaded are sorted - e.g. TVCurrent\Americans\season 1, (Season 2, Season 3…) TVCurrent\Archer\Season 1, (Season 2, Season 3…) Sonarr has identified all the shows I have downloaded just hasn’t renamed any of them.

I don’t have an indexer (couldn’t figure out how to set it up) Unfortunately I do best with youtube howtos but I couldn’t find one.

Basically, my goal is to get the episode title inserted and all the other junk out -e.g. rarbg.

I ended up using filebot which did it pretty well!

Renaming applies automatically when files are imported, if you want to rename existing files you can do so from the series page (and preview the rename) or one or more series from Series Editor.
