[QUOTE="Lehmden, post: 1260149, member: 109222"] Hi. I don't have issues with junctions in MP2. They are working pretty well since ages. But since some versions (probably after 2.1.3) MP2 did not import linked files as it did before. I also have my files on different physical drives and "collect" all movies or series in one central folder, one for movies and one for series. As my movies are in separate folders with all supporting files (.nfo, local fanart) I also use junctions normally to link the countless movie folders into the central media source folder... But there are many movies that are part of a series too (e.G. The first X-Files Movie is Season 00 Episode 01 of the X-Files series). To get those movies listed in Series and in movies without the need to have them twice laying around, I'm using Symbolic links to the file, not to a folder. If the file is not on the same partition you can't use anything else than symlinks... And since some time those symlinks are no longer recognized by MP2. (I had reported this at least twice already some time ago)... Earlier versions of MP2 had no issues to follow those links. Other HTPC tools like Kodi also can use symlinks easily... But for me this is a Server issue, not an issue of the client as the server is responsible for the import... Edit...
