• Ask HN: How many of you are consciously downsizing your devices/going retro?

  Not downsizing exactly, but I 'm still on my iPhone 12 mini. Partly because I prefer the smaller screen but also because its still very fast and reliable. I had previous had a Gen 1 iPhone SE which I only gave up on due to accidental damage. My Roku TV has wifi disabled and I rely on an older Apple TV for subscriptions (Netflix, PBS, Disney+). The main use-case for AppleTV though is the Infuse Pro app which I use... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Best media player for 4K ATMOS stuff?

  You should try out Infuse on the Apple TV if you haven’t already. You can use your existing stuff and will play Atmos. Source: 5 months ago

• A case for moving away from the cloud and embracing local storage solutions

  Infuse [0] is very nice (subscription, but the price is reasonable). [0]: https://firecore.com/infuse. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family

  > The Apple TV app is slow and sometimes doesn't play sound. The main usage for me is via Apple TV… You can try Infuse an an alternative client to Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin: https://firecore.com/infuse. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• A Call for Developers – Jellyfin

  Infuse media player[0][1] has an awesome Apple TV / iOS / macOS client. It even integrates with Jellyfin. [0] https://firecore.com/infuse [1] https://jellyfin.org/posts/client-infuse/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Plex announced to block instances on German hosting provider Hetzner

  A setup that I can now heartily recommend (after using it for 6 months) is Apple TV 4k and the Infuse media app[0] It's able to find your movies and series on Samba shares (and probably other types of locations, too) and categorize, find subtitles, adjust audio and so on. This assumes you've already got your media somewhere of course (like a file server on your LAN), but I bet 99% of the HN crowd has a home server... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Plex to block all servers hosted at Hetzner

  If you have an Apple TV, use https://firecore.com/infuse. To be fair, it's not exactly the same as Plex. But it covers many of my use cases; - Organizes your media on the fly - Does not do useless transcoding (it was a huge issue back in ~ 2016 for Plex). - Can directly connect to SMB shares, my Synology NAS. - Does not require anything running on the server, so it. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Good app to automatically find and download subtitles for shows?

  I use Infuse. I'm aware is not a dedicated app just for subtitles but I think is better this way as mismatches can happen. Source: 9 months ago

• Is SMB and Windows File Sharing a potential security risk?

  I want to stream movies from my Mac to my Apple TV. I found infuse to be very good, it has a really good Apple TV app. To stream from my Mac, according to their guide I have to enable SMB and Windows File Sharing. Source: 9 months ago

• What device can I use with my to "smartify" my TV?

  I use an Apple TV that runs the Infuse app, going to my HD projector. It's pretty great: I just point it at the movies directory of my home server (a Mac Mini running Arch, fileserving via SMB) and it pulls down all the metadata (covers, subtitles, etc.) and gives me a nice, simple interface. I know I could do it for free with Plex, etc., but frankly it's not worth my time — I'd rather spend that time on... Source: 11 months ago

• My friend set quality to original but it's still transcoding. Why?

  If you go down this route, also check out the Firecore Infuse Pro app for Apple TV. It supports everything and is the most stable, user-friendly, and full-featured Plex client I've found. Source: 11 months ago

• Need help with getting Dolby Vision

  Infuse Pro supports Dolby Vision, but only profiles 5 & 8 (https://firecore.com/infuse, scroll down to the orange section). The profile on 4K discs is profile 7 with cross compatibility ID 6. That's the dvhe.07.06 above. If you want to know more about the profiles, look here: https://professionalsupport.dolby.com/s/article/What-is-Dolby-Vision-Profile?language=en_US.

  If you mean the video player, yes too https://firecore.com/infuse. Source: 12 months ago

• I'm trying to build a free alternative to Syncler and Weyd

  Some back story here: A month ago, I bought an Apple TV to replace my old Mi Box S. I cannot use Stremio+Torrentio anymore so I looked for alternatives. I found Infuse https://firecore.com/infuse which could play anything I throw at it, and support for Dolby Vision was eye candy. I thought that Real Debrid adn Infuse could use some automation so I built Debrid Media Manager for that purpose. Source: about 1 year ago

• Streaming movies and tv shows on Apple TV using Real Debrid and Infuse

  Infuse is a iOS/tvOS/macOS app that allows you to watch videos of any format and has efficient hardware decoding for h264 and h265. It supports Dolby Vision, HDR, HDR10+. It also allows you to stream content from remote sources via Google Drive/Dropbox/WebDAV/FTP/SFTP/etc. It identifies your files as it automatically fetches movie metadata based from the filename. In my opinion, the best video player in the Apple... Source: about 1 year ago

• Which app do you use to view your Plex/Jellyfin media on Apple TV ?

  I'm sure, its advertised in their websitehttps://firecore.com/infuse. Source: about 1 year ago

• Has anyone ripped their DVDs (specifically a TV show) and watched them through your Apple TV? How’d you do it? Was it worth it?

  For AppleTV I can highly recommend Infuse.. It can browse and play videos stored on a Mac, PC, NAS, media servers like Plex, Emby, Jellyfin, or cloud service like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box, MEGA, and others. Plus, videos from multiple sources can all be displayed neatly together in one central library. Source: about 1 year ago

• Which app do you use to view your Plex/Jellyfin media on Apple TV ?

  You don't need to pay to use infuse with Jellyfin. Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin integration is a standard feature. If you want to use files with high-res audio codecs or Dolby Vision then you would need to pay. See here for a list of standard and pro features: https://firecore.com/infuse.

• Hands-on: Apple planning redesigned TV app for Mac with sidebar for navigation

  I’ve recently discovered Infuse and quite like it. Linked it to my Plex account and use it mostly on my Mac or iPad. Source: about 1 year ago

• Paramount plus movies in 4k look great, hope they bring UCL games in 4k

  Plex and other similar apps (Infuse for example is more popular in the AppleTV world) only play local media, which means you’ll need to have a computer or NAS powered on to host the media files. You can source (high-quality) local media mostly in two ways: buying Blu-rays and ripping them, or 🏴‍☠️. Source: about 1 year ago

• Infuse alternative self hosted and web based

  I want to add a network share (SMB) and play my contents directly without any type of transcoding, just like Infuse. Source: about 1 year ago
