I changed a movie file name and in the next run Kodi asked to delete the old one that I clicked which "didn't exist". I clicked yes. Then I clicked on "update library" and Kodi didn't entered the file with the updated name. I then clicked "clean library" in the system, still kodi didn't entered the file again. So, if you rename a movie ...you lose it!
Unless there is some method, other than clearing all library data and reinstalling Kodi.
Windows 7 x64,
Kodi v 15.2,

Hi, so renamed the movie from what to what?
What is the content of your Debug_Log after running a library update?
Also a Kodi Log with Debug enabled could help here too.

I have a feeling whatever you renamed it to, it did not scrape properly. Simple as that.

Yup - what they said. I've renamed movies, moved them, re-filed them - yes, the old name no longer works and needs to be purged from the library - but yes, you can then simply re-scrape the new 'version'. It will show as a new entry, and you'll lose any watched status or similar, but they're easy to re-insert into the library.
