Not following symlinks

I've been fiddling with this for a while without success, so I'm throwing this out here in case it rings a bell to anyone.

 

All of my media files (songs, tv episodes, movies) I added to Media Browser are symlinks. The folders themselves are actual folder, but all files inside them are symlinks. The weird thing is Media Browser doesn't seem to follow them (or see them at all). All documentation I could find about Mono says that it should follow symlinks, but in my case it's not doing so.

 

Anyone has any ideas?

I don't know if this is an option for you but instead have you tried simply mounting your media folders into MediaBrowser?

 

Or is there some reason it needs to be symlinked?

It's just a personal preference, I use SnapRAID to pool all my drives together into one folder, and it does so with creating a symlink for each file under each drive. I think I'm gonna go with your tip though, having something that works is even better :)

 

Thanks for the tip!
