FileBot is the ultimate tool for organizing and renaming your movies, tv shows or anime, and music well as downloading subtitles and artwork. It's smart and just works.




MediaElch is a MediaManager for Kodi. It directly accesses XBMCs database (SQLite and MySQL) and thumbnail cache to store information about movies and TV shows.
Free media manager for organizing movies and TV shows, supports XBMC syncing, scrapes metadata, artwork, trailers, and actor images, auto-renames files, exports HTML details with customizable templates, and handles missing episodes and Blu-ray folders.








Ember Media Manager is just that: a media manager. Once configured, it let's you fetch, store, and view various details about your media collection. Movies and TV shows are the type of media that Ember can handle.

Looks good, many features, it crashes all the time though, even before scanning the library :(


Smooth, powerful interface to organize your media collection.
Support for the built-in Windows Media Center Video Library strip (dvdid.xml) as well as MediaBrowser extension (mymovies.xml).
Movies, television, and adult title search from a variety of configurable meta data sour.

Very unintuitive, as a technical user I don't know what I'm supposed to do or can it even do what I want it to do (manage my TV series/movies I have on my drive)
