While the main objective of TV Rename is to rename and move/copy files into the appropriate locations in the library, there are many other things it can do at the same time:
The system will keep files that share the same name together, renaming them all as one. This keeps related files (images, information, metadata) joined together. The system can also be configured to keep language specific files together for when you have subtitles in multiple languages.

The system can also be requested to update the ‘last updated’ dates to match the air-dates. This aims to help DNLA systems, but be wary if you are using a Linux based system such as a NAS for your media library. Linux has an inception date of 01/01/1970 and does not support earlier dates.
TV Rename can order a series in 2 ways at present:
Aired Season Order
DVD Season Order
To show how these are different take a look at Futurama on and you can see that the episode order on DVD does not match the Aired order.
Future Ideas
There are a few ideas on the ideas wall to allow the ordering to be adjusted further to account for shows such as Mythbusters and American Dad. In both these cases the order that users want to organise the files does not match either the Aired or the DVD order
In addition to renaming and moving files the system can also download/create files for various media players:
Kodi
Mede8er
pyTivo
WD TV Live Media Player
others
In each case then the following types of files can be downloaded
Fanarts, banners and posters
Episode screenshots
XML/Text files to explain details about the show/series/episodes

Future Ideas
There are plans to add support for other media centres and provide additional information by analysing the video files in more detail:
