Library with linked folders is empty

[Davide 9]

I've created a second library for a second user, this contains links to some files in the first library.

 

Structure of my folders:

 

Movie      <-- Contains all the movies, visible only by User1

/Title 1/file1.ext

/Title 2/file2.ext

/Title 3/file3.ext

...

 

Movie 2   <-- Movies visible by User2

/Title 2/file2.ext   <-- Folder linked to Movie/Title 2/file2.ext (So User2 can only see "Title 2")

 

By doing a scan, however, the "Movie 2" library is empty. Emby does not recognize the links?

I would not like to copy the files, to avoid taking more space

Linked in what way?

Use junction points instead.

 

Or, you can use physical organization to accomplish it (three folders - one for user 1 one for user 2 one shared by both).

Linked in what way?

Right-click, new, shortcut ... and choose the original folder

 

Use junction points instead.

How?

I actually recommend the physical organization approach though.

Use the MKLINK command.  https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226/complete-guide-to-symbolic-links-symlinks-on-windows-or-linux/ appears to have an overview.

I solved by installing "Link Shell Extension", thanks
