Like magic

Folks, y'all probably know this, but Filebot is an amazing piece of kit.

In the space of maybe 20 mins (with 10 of that reading tutorials), I renamed my movie collection to exactly the format needed for Kodi to pick it up. I'd recently moved to Kodi on the HTPC to offer a nicer front end with images, descriptions, trailers etc. Alas Kodi wasn't picking up all my movies given naming conventions used for some. After renaming using MovieDB inside Filebot, clicking "refresh library" and waiting like 5 mins, all the movies now show up.

I may also now rename my library using a more complicated but useful naming convention. For now I just went with MOVIENAME [YEAR]. But it seems there are almost infinite possibilities. Forum seems like a really helpful resource also.

$6 for a year is a crazy good deal.

Have fun folks
