MacOS alias compatible with Linux?

I tried hardlinks and relative symlinks. The hardlinks did what I needed and only took deleting -s from one line. The hardlink is done by using ln instead of ln -s. The relative symlink may not have built properly in my script so they might work but would take more coding work. Since the hardlinks are working I will stick with them.

I understand to pros and cons of the different links. I was able to recode my scripts to either do hard links or relative symlink. What really ended up being the problem was the program I was using to read those links. Kodi 18.2 on both linux and android both try to scrape the original file name instead of using the file name of the link. So they would work with a hard link but not either of the symlinks. I have never upgraded Kodi to 18.2 on my Mac so I don't know if that would be a problem there also. My fix was to down grade back to 15.2 like I have on my Mac and all works well. Even though the absolute symlinks are on a shared volume Kodi can follow them. In contrast the linux desktop can only follow the relative symlinks not the absolute symlinks. This process was frustrating but I learned more so all is good.

After doing a little more research it looks like I am using absolute symlinks and I need to use relative symlinks. I have also looked into using hardlinks. For some reason my script is doing other weird things when I try these other two links so more investigation is needed. At least now I understand why things were not working and have an idea how to fix the problem.

Sorry, I should have been more explicit. I am using symlinks. The line in my apple script is:

do shell script "ln -s" & space & mpgpath & space & fileName

mpgpath and fileName are quoted forms of their POSIX path. The files and the symlinks all reside on the same volume just in different folders.

I have tried asking questions on the rapberry pi and kodi forums but I have not had much luck there either. This must be a more unique situation than I expected. I would have thought some one else would have tried sharing a MacOS volume containing aliases or symlinks with a computer running a different operating system.

So this sounds like it is possible to do. It sounds like I need to mount the whole volume on my remote system then point Kodi, the application I want to find these files, to the folder containing the symlinks in the mounted shared volume. I think previously I either pointed Kodi to the network path to the symlink folder or the mounted symlink folder.

Also you can see below how I have generated the symlinks. I don't think my symlinks look exactly like you suggested. Are they doing what what they need to do? I am assuming since Kodi could find the episodes when pointed to the Tv DB folder that it could handle the spaces in the path names. If spaces in the paths are going to be a problem then I need to do some more coding.

Set Fpath to container of (thisLocation as alias) as alias --thisLocation is the location of the recording returned from the application  EyeTV
Set mpgname to the quoted form of the POSIX path of Fpath & "/*.mpg" --this gives path to the mpg file in the recording container

Then I work on the symlink name

set symlink to Martha:TV DB:Blue Bloods:Season 10:EpisodeName
set symlink to the quoted form of the POSIX path of symlink
do shell script "ln -s" & space & mpgname & space & symlink

The original file is located in Martha/EyeTV Archive

The symlink is in Martha/TV DB/Show Name/Season #/Episode Name

Martha is the name of the volume in which these folders exist.
