As a new Kodi user coming from Windows 7 WMC (where videos/movies/tv series were all saved to one "Recorded TV" folder), Kodi appears to have some very specific requirements about the way the files in these distinct media classes are named and the source sub-folders they are stored in, in order to allow information and artwork to be retrieved from third party sites.

Is there a Kodi plug-in or some other tool/method that can assist in the renaming of WMC files and the restructuring of files into media class sub-folders? Or does this all have to be done manually? We have nearly 1,200 .wtv files to sort out!
The closest thing I have found so far is the MediaPortal 1 "WTV Organizer" plug-in, however this obviously requires installing MediaPortal 1 and pre-processing the files there first before importing into Kodi. And I am not convinced Kodi will require the same filename formatting anyway.
Any ideas?
