A Huge issue with Kodi is that you can't really get most of your movies get detected properly. Every person has a different file structure and kodi fails many times to identify correctly the movies.
As i look in Kodi's Source Code, it's not really hard to create a "System" that can allow the user to define custom File Structure of his movies, so the kodi can send to the scraper the correct query in order to detect correctly the movie.
So the main issue is the year issue. Kodi can't really detect a movie's year if a .nfo file is not present.
For example i have the following Structure
X:\Store\Movies\[Year]\[MovieName]\[MovieFile]
Kodi doesn't know really whats up with that and it only tries to search [MovieName] without a year, so we get incorrect results, due its poor sorting algorithm. A Good feature would be every user to be able to define his own Structure, so kodi can build proper queries and get proper results from them.
All it needs is a parser, a textbox and some keywords like %MovieName%, %MovieFile% %Year% and some regular expressions i guess.
