Control Synology FileBot with MacOS FileBot?
Posted: 31 Jul 2022, 07:46
Hello,
I've been trying to figure out how to create hard links so that I can rename and redo the directory structures of files from torrents without touching the originals, so that I can continue to seed yet also have Plex properly see the structure. This is a common problem and FileBot seems perfect for handling all steps of that process. Thank you for your work on it!
I use MacOS but have Plex and the files hosted on my Synology NAS. I first tried to use FileBot on Mac, accessing and outputting the files on the NAS connected via SMB, but it threw an error message. This isn't overly surprising, given what I've read about hard links (what little I understand, anyway). I have FileBot set up on the NAS and have been able to use it, but the GUI does not have quite as many options and does not seem as user-friendly as the MacOS instance. It got me thinking... is there a way to have FileBot on MacOS direct the instance of FileBot (or I suppose technically it would be the Node service) on Synology?
