Serviio

I currently use Filebot to sort and rename my videos, however I was thinking of a built in solution. I'll use the following example to explain.

All my shows are stored on G:\TV\
I have a shared folder for my network which is G:\Downloads. On a schedule or upon detection, Serviio would rename the files in here to give them a specified naming format and then move them to the relative folder.

So

I load 'Lost.S01E01.HDTV.avi' on the network share and it goes to G:\Downloads on the server.
Serviio detects this and queries TheTVDB. It finds its metdata.
Serviio then renames this to a specified format, ie. 'Lost Season 1 Episode 1 - Pilot (1).avi'
It then moves this file to its correct directory. In this case it would be G:\TV\Lost\Season 1\

Thats it

It would be nice too, if its possible to make the server send an email out saying "Lost Season 1 Episode 1 is now available for viewing"

You could try SickBeard or CouchPotato, they should be able to do that automagicaly.

there is already 2 great peices of software offeed by third parties and availibel form our wiki to do this its not required to be part of serviio and would just bloat it.
