Plex Plugin and symlinks

[da_da]

Is there a way to use symlinks for files in folders rather than duplicating the files?

All files are on a large dataset, however, I'd like to share only particular files only. As an example there may be thousands of videos in various folders. What I like to do is to only place a handful on the Plex. I'd prefer not to duplicate the files by copying them into another folder.

it seems like ln -s x y is not really working... are there any solutions.

Not sure symlinks are the answer your looking for. You can add a mount to only the folders you want in the plex jail. You can use the command iocage fstab -a yourjailname "/pathA/example /pathB/example nullfs rw 0 0" where
PathA is the files on your dataset ex: /yourdataset/Movies
PathB is the folder inside the jail you want the files to be mounted at. ex: /media/Movies
