I spend hours downloading, extracting, renaming and copying files to my Plex Server.
What would same me a lot of time and hassle would be having a handy auto-rename and store function.
Essentially All you would have to do is copy a file, with all the appropriate information in its name, into a folder, or into a drop section on Plex/Web, and Plex deals with the rest.

The entire reason the files need to be renamed is so that Plex (or, more to the point, the scanning-agent destinations) can recognize the files correctly. It seems to me that if it was smart enough to know what they were -- for sure -- it would not need them to be renamed.
I understand what you are asking, but there is a great tool that already does that: couchpotato. It will handle the renaming very effectively in a way that will make Plex happy. It will make directories, list missing episodes and anything else you can imagine.
Plex is very clever, but it should not have to rename your files for you when there are tools out there that handle that very effectively.
