Once you put each movie in its own folder, modify your script to symlink the folder instead of the file.

As I stated, Jellyfin will follow symlinks for folders and will ignore symlinks for files.

Hello, sorry I missed out on it yesterday, as I didn't check the playback. I did check the permissions and everything is good. Also Jellyfin detects everything correctly when it comes to Symlinks in terms of library update and metadata but the playback doesn't work I get the below error, while the symlinks does play via filemanager

I also checked the permissions and attaching it here

-rwxrwsr-x 1 aarsh users 2634890489 May  4 14:28 'Vash (2023) WEBDL-1080p.mp4'

While Jellyfin does play the file directly, only symlinks give me the errors

I guess the issue is from inside the Jellyfin container, symlinks linking to actual path doesn't work.
