Library
Library management is the reason why i started using Kodi in the first place.
The tricky part is, the names of the files you want to add to Kodi, need to be in the correct form:
- Movies:
Movie Title (YEAR)/Movie Title (YEAR).extension Movie Title (YEAR).extension
- TV Shows
TV Show Title (YEAR)/
Season NUMBER/
Episode Title.extension
or TV Show Title (YEAR) Episode Title.extension

Renaming Files (fast)
- example filename to "standardize":
TV Show 2006 2x13 Episode Title XviD [MM]blabla.avi
- command to rename all .avi files in current directory
rename -v 's/^(.*) 2006 [0-9]x([0-9][0-9])(.*)$/$1 S03E$3$4/' *.avi
- more examples
- 2ACX12-Episode Title.rm
rename 's/2ACX([0-9][0-9]) - (\w+)/TV Show S02E$1 $2/' *.rm -v
- TV Show - 4ACX29 - Episode Title -.avi
rename 's/TV Show - 4ACX([0-9][0-9]) - (\w+)/TV Show S04E$1 $2/' *.avi -vn
- S1EP02.avi
rename 's/(.*)/TV Show $1/' *.avi
