    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?
    Jellyfin 10.10.7 (Docker)
    Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS w/HWE
    Intel i3 12100
    Intel Arc A380
    OS drive - SK Hynix P41 1TB
    Storage
        4x WD Red Pro 6TB CMR in RAIDZ1
