So, I might be losing my mind here, because digging through the megathreads, fmhy and Awesome-Jellyfin hasn’t turned up anything like what I’m looking for, but I could swear I read about an *arr tool once before that would watch a download folder for files, and create properly named symlinks to the file in your library folder. Looking around, the closest I’ve found is Fixarr, but that’s definitely not it. I’m super confused. Is my memory just playing tricks on me?
Edit: It was just Radarr and Sonarr I was thinking of. Thank for your help, everyone.
Cool, I don’t feel as dumb now because that’s how I thought it worked. How do I create a hard link instead of copying in Linux though? The space saving is my main goal because space is finite on my box and there’s no reason to have it on there twice.
The reason I ask is because a specific show my wife and I want to watch doesn’t pull correctly in Jellyseer but I’m almost certain I could just manually download the season I need. I just don’t know how to do what the arrs are doing on the backend.
Edit: Gave her a goog and it looks pretty easy actually. If anyone else is interested in how to make hard links in Linux.
