Today we are excited to announce the release of Infuse 8 for iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac...and Vision!

Infuse 8 features an all-new app for Apple Vision Pro, fresh new designs for all devices, revamped app internals, new player controls, and many other exciting new changes.

Apple Vision Pro​

Infuse 8 includes a brand-new, fully native app for Apple Vision Pro! Vision users can now enjoy the full array of Infuse powerful features available on other devices on a massive virtual screen. Additional Vision-specific features such as 3D video and immersive environments are in progress and will be available soon.

Refreshed layout and designs​

Fresh new designs are now available on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac. These updates blend an inspiring new layout with the minimalistic nature of Infuse that you have come to know and love for a great balance of style and usability. Note: On Apple TV, the New layout can be enabled by adjusting the ‘Details View’ option found in Infuse > Settings > General.

All-new modern infrastructure​

Lots of things have changed since Infuse was first released in 2013. Libraries which used to consist of only a handful of small files can now easily extend to tens of thousands of massive 4K videos. We took a big step towards handling these larger libraries with the addition of Direct Mode earlier this year and 8.0 builds on that same focus with an entirely revamped browsing infrastructure. This provides significantly better app performance and faster loading of lists and items on the home screen - especially for those with larger libraries or multiple servers.

New player controls​

The new playback overlay features a contemporary design and has been fine-tuned to provide easy access to commonly used options such as audio/subtitle track selection, volume boost, and playback speed.

Optimized for the latest devices​

Along with improvements for the latest versions of Apple’s software, optimizations for the newest devices - such as the new iPhone 16 models - have also been added. This allows your library and artwork to appear beautifully just like you have come to expect from Infuse.

Upgrade for free! 🎉​

Infuse 8 is a free automatic update for all Infuse 7 users - and is waiting for you in the App Store right now!

The all-new Vision app is available as a free download on the Vision App Store and all active Pro subscriptions can be used and shared with family members without having to make any additional purchases. 🙌

Those running older legacy versions (Infuse v4, v5, and v6) can get a free year of Infuse Pro when upgrading to Infuse 8.

Thanks!​

We’re super-excited about the release of Infuse 8 and we really hope you enjoy using it as much as we do.

Thanks so much for using Infuse! 🧡

Tried to install the testflight version but got lost.

Had Infuse Pro running on my Mac.
Logged into Trak on my Mac.
  1. Log into the same Trakt account in Infuse on Apple Vision Pro
How do I do that? Don't see where to do it.

Also I can't seem to connect to Plex. I sign in on the redirected Plex page in Safari which says "You have successfully signed in". Infuse just stays on the "Sign in using Web Browser" page. I cancel the Infuse page and it just says "requesting authorization code".

You can either open the Settings > Sync menu or click the round Trakt logo up near the top in the main Infuse Settings screen.

This is a bug in the current version. The workaround for now is to first install the iPad version from the App Store, use that to connect to Plex, and then install the TestFlight AVP version (which will replace the iPad app).

I love Infuse! This app alone made the AppleTV worth buying for me. Was struggling using other clients before, they would either not run the video codec at all or start stuttering halfway through. After trying Infuse many many years ago I decided that is what I want in a set up box so I bought the Apple TV, and it has been running flawlessly ever since.

I’ve been trying the AVP app via Testflight for the past months and it is exactly what I hoped it would be. Amazing UI, ease of use, it just plays everything I throw at it.

No brainer purchase imo, highly recommended App.

This is making my Plex setup look a little lacklustre, especially considering they don’t have plans for the Vision Pro…

Infuse supports connecting and streaming from Plex. 🙂
