Avoid adding symlink media - aroger - 2025-03-25
Hello
I'm looking how to avoid Jellyfin to add symlink media file, it keep adding movies in double because of symlink for {app we don't talk about - TDP}
Even when the symlink file folder contain a .ignore file in it...
How can I process to avoid jellyfin addind symlink media to the library ?
Thanks

Jellyfin will not follow symlinks for files. But you cannot prevent Jellyfin from following symlinks for folders.
Why does Jellyfin have access to both the original folder and the in-progress folder in the same library?
