Neither system's installation instructions has this in it. You'd have to deep dive when you realize it doesn't work for one of them

Bruh.
I can't any more. That's the worst take I have heard yet.

Yes, if it works automagically it's great. But if it aint, you just need to follow instructions. One just can't duct tape everything together

If I rename all my shit, I am a) duplicating lots of downloads on my system because I need to keep the original in order to seed, or b) not able to seed and lose my ability to gain more content in the first place.

Are you unable to hard link?

You can say what you want about my "take". All I'm saying is, I have to do work with one system, and I don't with the other one. If all other things were identical, which one would you choose, bruh??

I know about hard links and have used them before, they are fine. But it's still work I need to do in one system where it needn't be done in the other.

Is this so hard to understand for you? Leave me alone if so.

Get this: more work takes more time; less work, less time. I have little time, and I need to keep the file names intact, period.

I get that the instructions are there. There's instructions for Plex too that I've gone and read.

That's not the point.

It's not an opinion to have 😆 I have to do more work vs no work. You can't "disagree" with that. It's just a fact. Nothing to opine about.
