It doesn't support object based audio (so Atmos or DTS:X) but it does support decoding the TrueHD or DTS HD-MA streams into lossless PCM. So your receiver may not say "Dolby" or "DTS" but it will be sending out lossless audio still.

Happy to help.
Pro is available via 2 ways, as an In-App Purchase or standalone paid app. Which you choose is mainly a personal preference, and a bit more info on the differences can be found here. https://firecore.com/forum/topic/13168
With regard to Dropbox, you are correct. You would first set up the Dropbox connection on iOS. Once this is done, the saved connection will sync over to Apple TV via iCloud and be available for streaming there as well. Some general info on iCloud and Trakt syncing in Infuse can be found here. https://support.firecore.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000070773-iCloud-Trakt-Syncing
Hello, I would like to setup 2 libraries ... One from my local hard drive and one from One Drive. Currently using Plex but need to switch back and forth between libraries.
I downloaded Infuse 5 on my Apple TV 4K and have setup up the local library but how do I setup the One Drive library?

Infuse can play just about anything, including 4K HDR videos.
Of course, if you run into trouble with a particular video we'd be more than happy to look into it.
Cloud services will first need to be set up in Infuse for iOS. Once that is done, this saved cloud connection will sync over to the Apple TV via iCloud where it can be used for streaming.
I want that Infuse automatically download subtitles in 3 languages. Is it possible?
Every movie/show i add, i want that it downloads subs in english, spanish and french, so this way i can automatically change it in movie/show settings.
Another thing: is it possible to hide my shares from favorites? I only want there library folders (recently added and all movies). I don’t want my trashy folders there.
Sounds to me like you'd be better off looking into 'Sickrage', the non echelon version... it'll auto download epsiodes when ready at your desired quality... and also subtitles. Then you point Infuse at your library.
No, i don't want sick rage.
I just want that Infuse give me the option to automatically download more than 1 subtitle language.
And hide my shares from Favorites because that folders are a mess.
Not at this time, but I'll pass along the idea.
You can hide folders from the home screen by long-pressing on them and selecting 'hide favorite'.
Is this a limitation of the AppleTV or can it be added in an update?
I can get Dolby Atmos from Kodi on my Nvidia Sheild from the same source.
I would think it should just pass the bitstream and the receiver would pick it up.
Stealth fixes.

It's a limitation of the Apple TV right now. Apple has hinted that they could support things like Atmos in the future, but unfortunately there's no ETA right now.

Ahh, thanks. That is what I thought. It looks like AppleTV wants to send out everything as LPCM.
Here is hoping Apple keeps its promise of Dolby Atmos support.
In general, LPCM is a good format. It's uncompressed, and will result in no loss of quality when playing Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA.
The one thing that gets left behind though is the extra metadata required for object based formats like Atmos and DTS:X, as the Apple TV simply doesn't have a way to pass this to your receiver right now.
As of late, Apple has seemed pretty receptive to user feedback on the Apple TV (they recently added automatic frame rate and dynamic range matching, which is something we've wanted to see for quite some time) so I'm optimistic they'll follow through on support for high end audio formats.
Still no sign of an update that can fix the bug reported here:

The Fall Creators Update for Windows 10-64 bit (PC) is incompatible with Infuse for Apple TV 4, versions Pro 4.3.6 and the last one, 5.6.6 (tvOS) released 2017-12-20.
The result of this bug is that we can't add (not even manually - the credentials are inserted, but we can't save them) this PC to the app.
It's very odd that no one else is complaining. Guess I'll have to do a format and never install this mess of an update. Micro$oft is again screwing its users.
This is another reason I have to do this format:

And in the meantime VLC for the Apple TV is recognizing the contents of my PC... even with this Fall Creators.
Micro$oft messes things here, yet only for @firecore apps. I paid for both the iOS/ATV versions and can't use them.

Windows streaming support should improve once we roll out our new SMB implementation in early 2018. This will support the latest SMB3 protocol, and provide much better streaming for SMB1 and SMB2 as well.Still no sign of an update that can fix the bug reported here:

We're working to resolve issues with a few reported video/TV combos, and will have more news available soon. Thanks!

No issues on my end. I'm using windows 10 as well.
Here's an update: contrary to what I said Infuse for both iOS and Apple TV 4 can add my Windows 10-64 bit using the Fall Creators Update, if I enter manually the credentials and save them. Previously I was only able to do this using iOS, but now the ATV seems to be working and the "SAVE" button can be used. Perhaps some data was not entered when I tried.
The credentials are:
Name of the computer
Workgroup (leave blank)
IP (for my PC it's 192.168.8.144. Router's gateway is 192.168.8.1, and the .44 IP is permanent, assigned by the gigabit router)
Login (from Windows)
Password (from Windows)

When I finally managed to solve this after having give up a long time ago.
Right now Infuse Pro 4.3.7 for iOS and ATV 4 can read the contents from my Hard Drive, I don't have a 5.X subscription, but it's safe to assume it works there, too.
Despite this workaround the bug still remains for both iOS and ATV 4, since the 192.168.8.144 IP is not detected automatically, and other apps (for iOS, and VLC for ATV) can detect it right away. I believe there's something interfering with this recognition, other apps while scanning my network can see the PC in it.
As for the wake on LAN bug in the iOS version (mentioned in the iOS thread) I have no idea what caused it.
What I am going to do is format the PC and reinstall Windows 10 (hopefully without that Fall Creators Update). After that I think this detection problem will be solved for good.

You may try one of these tips to see if they help.Tried AirPlay today with local 1080p videos but couldn’t get it to work. Apple TV tried to load, black screen, rotating wheel then it went back to home screen.
Edit:
Ironically it worked with ChromeCast.

Let us know how it goes.
Yes, both ISO and BD folders are supported.
Is there a way to download a whole season, or the unwatched episodes in a season on iOS? I travel a lot and having a way to quickly download episodes before I go would be great!
Not currently, but that's a great idea for a future version.
What you can do in the current version is browse files via Settings > Add Files and tap the download icon that appears next to each video to quickly queue up multiple downloads.
