Is it possible to have separate library based on language?

[fedonr]

In your source folder each movie needs to be in its own folder, which is what our documentation states is the recommended folder and file structure anyway.

https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/movies/

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

Code:

I also checked the permissions and attaching it here 

Code:

total 4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 aarsh users 61 Jun 22 21:44 'Vash (2023) WEBDL-1080p.mp4' -> '/drive1t/media/movies/Vash (2023)/Vash (2023) WEBDL-1080p.mp4'
silent@omv:~$ sudo ls -l "/drive1t/media/movies/Vash (2023)/"

-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.

Code:

As in Jellyfin Voulme binding is  /drive1t/media/ to /data in Jellyfin, so when symlinks see /drive1t/media/ it might not detect the file
