Is there a free program to batch rename files on my hard drive/NAS, so that the correct metadata, episode order etc displays?

Hi all-

I'm relatively new to jellyfin, but have been steadily building my archive for the last couple of weeks.

I ran into a small hiccup, last night. Some of the earliest files I had uploaded, were of tokusatsu shows, that I hadn't checked on in a while. Jellyfin had grabbed metadata that it thought was correct, and was closely related, but not exactly right. Was labeled under the title of a movie that I don't actually have in my collection, instead of the show. Also, the episodes were out of order.

I discovered going back through my files and my hard drive, renaming the files to be more specific helped, but obviously I have several files that are probably going to have a similar problem.

Is there a free program available somewhere that would allow me to batch rename these files on my hard drive or manually pull the correct metadata, specifically episode names? I have a lot of series in my collection, and even for ones I haven't uploaded yet, typing each individual episode name as a file name is a tedious process.

TIA.

Also, if there happens to be some sort of video tutorial somewhere, I would appreciate links.

If I'm not ripping any UHD or 4K discs, is there a benefit to flashing a drive?

Basically the title. I picked up the Buffalo Blu-Ray reader that I've seen being mentioned around the sub. It's working great so far, and is definitely a huge improvement to the slim drive that I had been using previously.

I see that it has the potential to be flashed into a Libredrive, and the process seems simple enough. I don't think I have any 4ks, is there a benefit to flashing a drive beyond just being able to read those discs?

Ok so What happened?

Currently working on ripping a season of super Sentai. Originally got an error because the drive was in region 2, the discs were region 1. Changed the Region on the Drive, made it through 3 discs (about 15 eps) and now I'm getting this error:

Drive BD-RE Generic TYDZ 1.00 HL93 037224 has RPC protection that can not be bypassed. Change drive region or update drive firmware from http://tdb.rpc1.org. Errors likely to follow.

Following said link I don't see anything close to my model. Can anyone offer some guidance?

TIA
