### So what is TV Rename?
TV Rename is a media management tool that runs on Windows 7 and later and looks after all your TV show files; making them presentable for [Kodi (XBMC)](https://kodi.tv/), [Mede8er](http://www.mede8er.eu/), [PyTivo](https://pytivo.sourceforge.io/wiki/index.php/PyTivo) and other media hubs.\

\
**The.Shannara.Chronicles.S02E03.XviD-AFG.avi**\
\
Let's clean this up, including the season, show and episode details like:\
\
**The Shannara Chronicles - S02E03 - Graymark.avi**\
