Lee 205 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 So... I've got a few boxing matches on my server, I'd like to be able to find a bout by the fighter without duplicating the video. Currently I have Sport/boxing/Marvin Hagler/ Hagler vs Hearns Hagler vs Leonard Etc.... I'd like a Sport/boxing/Sugar Ray Leonard Folder with links to the Sport/boxing/Marvin Hagler/Hagler vs Leonard fight ... Is this possible? Hopefully I've made that understandable!! It is in my head!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necker 24 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 You could use the metadata manager to add the boxers as a 'person' against each bout. Then when you search for the boxer you would get all the bouts they are attached to. Or you could use collections to create a collection for each boxer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14970 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I know folder shortcuts work because I use them. Single video ones may too but I honestly am not sure that has been tested lately since we've moved away from shortcuts for most things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14970 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 You have to make sure the shortcut is created with the exact same reference as the item in your library. That is UNC paths vs drive reference etc. I know mine work because that's how I make a subset of my media available to one of my friends and he's been watching those shows all week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
