So, I might be losing my mind here, because digging through the megathreads, fmhy and Awesome-Jellyfin hasn’t turned up anything like what I’m looking for, but I could swear I read about an *arr tool once before that would watch a download folder for files, and create properly named symlinks to the file in your library folder. Looking around, the closest I’ve found is Fixarr, but that’s definitely not it. I’m super confused. Is my memory just playing tricks on me?
Edit: It was just Radarr and Sonarr I was thinking of. Thank for your help, everyone.
- Sonarr for television
- Radarr for movies
- Readarr for ebooks and audiobooks

And Lidarr for music. But the option is hard links, not symlinks.
Sounds like you are conflating symlinks with hardlinks. Arrs have an option to do hard links.
That is indeed what I was thinking of.
The only one I know is Filebot, but it’s not FOSS and it’s paid.
It works great, but for my needs I’ve been just relying on Sonarr’s and Radarr’s Hardlink functionality.
