Hi there. Been using Kodi with NFS shares since ever.
As I'm re-organizing my media, I wanted to centralize my .actors folder into only one. Idea is to have one folder containing Actor images and link this folder into every movie folder as .actors.
As I'm experimenting, I noticed that linked folders aren't recognized by kodi!
For instance:
/movies/MovieA
/movies/testdir/MovieB
/movies/testdir/MovieA (link to /movies/MovieA)
If I add /movies/testdir via Kodi, it adds the MovieB, but not MovieA, no matter if it's a relative link (../movieA) or a full link (/movies/movieA)
So it's not possible to symlink the centralizes Actors folder into the movie dirs, as it's not recognized then ;(
What works is to add a .actors folder into each movie folder and add the actor images as links!
So, linking folders doesn't work, but linking files!? Am I'm missing something?
I'm using kodi's NFS feature from "add sources"
Any idea on this?
The export is working well. kodi has full access, as I'm able to export to the share from media settings, too.
