I get media files which are not indexed by kodi (running on Ubuntu 15.10) - they need to be renamed first (and then they get indexed and fully processed).
I did not find any built-in solution in kodi to monitor and rename files - beside an explanation about the format they should be in. There is also a list of recommended standalone software.
I am surprised that the renaming is no built into kodi and before jumping in with cron and filebot I wanted to make sure that I will not be reinventing the wheel.
