I can’t thank you enough for putting me on to Infuse.. i had plex years ago but the whole server thing put me off… this app on the other side is amazingly simple and easy to use… all without a server!!

Rock Solid App. Lots of new features added on a regular basis. Great to see all your content show up across Iphone, Ipad, Apple TV, And Imac. Can handle all codecs I throw at it. Incredible App. Well worth paying for the full version.

That is my only grip with Apple, is not allowing bit streaming. Good video, been using Infuse for years, bought the app out right. I tend not to use it too much anymore. I basically run Apple tv through out my house, but in my main home theater area, I have a Shield and an Apple TV. I just use the Plex on my shield for casual movies & TV. I'm also playing with a Zappiti right now as well, and I typically use that for serious movie watching. Thus, the great home theater dilemma raises it's head again, too many source devices ( I'm the king in this department ).

Giving this a try as plex has a lip sync issue that sometimes shows itself on my Apple tv. No problems on Infuse so far, and full screen fan art on movie pages is awesome 👍

Infuse macOS client is Apple Silicon native while Plex is still not more than 2 years after the M1 came out! The audio limitation due to Apple TV is annoying but hopefully Apple removes this limitation so Atmos and DTS:X audio are possible. Right now as AFAIK the Nvidia Shield is the only device that allows Atmos and DTS:X 7.1 audio to pass through.

Thanks for doing this video and introducing us to some new options that maybe hasn’t been talked enough about. I’ve been a physical media guy ever since I gave up in ripping many many years ago but with some advancements in that front, I’m really considering doing so again. Will definitely be open to more options the better.

I love infuse. It does everything I need on the free version. But I would in a heartbeat buy the lifetime license if you had the ability for separate libraries.

[davidbarlee]

Infuse is very impressive. I have a very old server with only 256mb memory. When I play some large 4k movie files on my minix U22 android box using kodi the movie buffers every 5 seconds or so but there is no such problem with Infuse on the Apple 4k box.
Also my tv does not have Dolby vision, when I watch on kodi the colors are incorrect but infuse corrects them (not sure if it is running in HDR10) which is nice too.

Interesting video. At present I have all my old DVDs ripped into Plex. Might give this a try on my Apple TV in my theatre. Would like to get to a point where all my discs are ripped, but at present I don’t have a drive capable of doing it on a computer.

[joeygreear]

Would love to see a video on your whole ripping process and equipment setup from disc to available to watch on the infuse app.

[kjeksklaus]

This is exactly what i seem to have been looking for, just got the new Apple TV previously using VUZE as a media server to connect to smart TV. Going back to ripping due to studios adjusting and cutting old movies to fit current ideologies. I want a store of the originals and you can get batches of DVDs for £s now.

[antongrimm]

This is mind blowingly awesome! Way better than Plex as an Apple user. Thanks for the video!

[TheGeek]

I've been using Infuse for almost 2 years I think, I love it!

[yervandpapazyan]

If possible, can you please make a video showing step-by-step instructions on how to share content from one device to another? Right now, I use Infuse 8, and I have this app on my iPad and MacBook. However, I can not understand how to share all my movies from my Mac to my iPad, and I also want to buy the Apple 4K 128GB version. So, can you help me or people like me understand how to do that?

[johnpereira]

Apple TV - Huge limitation for lossless audio. Plex and Nvidia Shield handle this properly. I'm willing to forego some quality in relation to streaming shows/movies, but not for media on my local network. The Apple TV is a good streaming device, but a poor all-round media serving device. Nvidia Shield (with Plex) is a great media service device for local media, but a less competent streaming device. Local media should always be in the best quality form possible while streaming movies/shows has compromises with respect to quality - lossy audio offered on most streaming services and artifacts from compression and lower bit rates or downsampling, e.g. Netflix reducing the streaming quality curing the Covid 19 lockdown.

Make a video for setup because unless I download content to iPhone it’ll upload when the idea is supposed to stream from my cloud

[billielawrence-wiggins]

Hey I am a new subscriber I just wanted to thank you for this awesome video it helped me figure out how to stream my local video library from my Zidoo to my Apple TV it was so simple and works really well.

[DoooM]

Thank you for the beautiful and valuable explanation
I have a question: The internet is disconnected most of the time for about a minute. Does this affect Streaming ?

[markcollins]

Been using pro for quite awhile now. Love it so easy to use.
