Hello again. I have several movies saved on my NAS, and wanted to have them in one folder for easy searching while also having folders for specific genres.
I tried creating some symlinks on my Linux machine, but those aren’t visible on Windows or Android. I then tried creating shortcuts on a Windows machine, but those don’t work on Linux or Android.
Is there any hope for setting up universally recognized symlinks/shortcuts?
Yes, I’ve done that.
I wanted to be able to have all my movies in one folder while having shortcuts to those movies in genre-specific folders. All on the same NAS
I see now. As far as I now there isn’t a shortcut solution like you want. Though I do believe that Windows and Linux allow you to sort files by metadata like genre. Not sure about Android.
Why not host Jellyfin? Or point your OSs media player to the folder? You would be able to sort any way you please.
Lol. It actually gives me anxiety thinking about a single folder with hundreds of video files just sitting there unorganized. /shudders
