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!
