Single file in multiple library's

[Outbound 1]

Looking for a way to have the same title in different locations without have multiple copies of that file. For example "Ghost in the Sell" would be in the specials(season 00) within the Stand Alone Complex series under the Anime library-- while also being in the Movies library as an singular title. Is there a current way to do this, if not can we get a way to do this?

I did some searching and did not find another topic that covers this so if there is please point me in that direction

Thanks

Use strm file that points to the original file.

search the forum for more examples.

Thanks for the advice!! 

so on my test bench this works, single pc with everything on the same drive.

on my actual server not so  much, RaspberryPi4 linked to nas.

the listing is there with all the meta, but when trying to play it just says no compataible streams.

Let's look at an example:

Thanks.

by example, your asking for logs?

 

embyserver.txt

[Luke 42085]

This is what your strm file points to?

Z:\Anime\G . . G\Ghost in the Shell 02 - Stand Alone Complex\Season 00\S00E01 - Ghost in the Shell Movie

That doesn't look like a video file.

yes that one doesnt have the .mp4 on the end, ive tried multiple varitions.

 "Z:" or ip addy, just trying diff stuff

all fail to play 

[Luke 42085]

Please try correcting the extension in the strm file and then re-evaluate. Thanks.

that is what i said in my previous post- i am trying lots of different stuff- im sorry that the log file i sent didnt have the file type.

embyserver (3).txt

[Luke 42085]

Is this the exact path to the file?

Z:\Anime\G . . G\Ghost in the Shell 02 - Stand Alone Complex\Season 00\S00E01 - Ghost in the Shell Movie.mp4

What kind of drive is the Z: drive?

Thank you for your time, as stated in op my everything is on a nas- so it needed the "/mnt/" directory through the Pi not Z: 

Its working now.

thanks again.

[Luke 42085]

Right OK. If the server is on a PI, there is no way a Z: path will work. That's a windows path.
