symlink - ototos - 2025-11-13
i everyone, I’m installing the latest version of Jellyfin on a Windows server and I’d like to use symlinks with rclone, so I can reorganize the server structure a bit without having to modify the entire cloud, which would be really complicated for me—almost impossible.
Additionally, I prefer to have a local file structure.
In the past, I remember trying this, and it worked perfectly; it was even the only media player that supported it, while Plex couldn’t.
Now I’m trying again, but I can’t get it to work: Jellyfin doesn’t recognize any symlinks. I’m really desperate because this feature solved 101% of my remote access problems.
Thanks!

10.11.2 has issues with symlinks. There are symlinks changes for 10.11.3, which should be released this weekend.

Thanks, I didn’t know that.
I hope it also works for discovering new content, not just for the already scanned items.
Is the release coming this weekend? On the GitHub link you sent me, there was no mention of this.
Thanks!
