How CineSync Works ?
CineSync creates symbolic links from source directories to destination directories, organizing them according to your preferences and metadata from TMDb/IMDb/TVDB. This approach allows you to maintain a well-structured library without physically moving or duplicating files, preserving disk space while enabling advanced organization features.
