No complex setup or advanced technical knowledge is required, making it accessible to beginners and advanced users alike.
When using direct mounts for media files with debrid services, tools like NFS and rclone often do not support inotify. This limitation requires additional tools, such as autoscan, or frequent manual scans in Jellyfin for new media to appear in your library. CineSync resolves this issue with its Real-Time Monitoring (RTM) feature.
By creating symbolic links (symlinks) for all media files, CineSync makes the files appear as part of the local filesystem. This allows Jellyfin's RTM feature to automatically detect and update the library with new files seamlessly.
Learn more about RTM and troubleshooting on Jellyfin's official documentation.
CineSync now enables Instant Real-Time Updates for Plex, ensuring that your library is automatically updated as soon as new media files are created. This integration eliminates the need for manual library rescans or additional tools like autoscan. With CineSync, you can seamlessly sync your media, including files from debrid services, to Plex in real-time. For this to work, you need to update the environment variables with your plex server details (URL & TOKEN).
CineSync features a comprehensive web interface for complete media library management:
Professional-grade file management with advanced navigation, search, and organization tools.
Browse your collection with beautiful poster views and rich metadata display.


Access comprehensive movie and TV show details with integrated TMDb metadata.
CineSync ensures all symbolic links maintain full read/write access, which is especially useful for systems requiring direct manipulation of media files. This feature allows seamless integration with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby, ensuring maximum compatibility and flexibility.
CineSync automates the entire library organization process, categorizing TV shows, movies, and extras based on customizable rules. Its integration with TMDb/IMDb ensures accurate metadata matching, making manual corrections a thing of the past.
Unlike traditional tools that slow down with large libraries, CineSync is optimized for speed. Its efficient scanning mechanism minimizes bottlenecks and ensures consistent performance, even with thousands of files.
Whether you're running Linux, macOS, Windows, or Docker, CineSync is designed to work seamlessly across all platforms. This versatility ensures that CineSync can adapt to any setup, no matter how complex.
