mine takes 3 seconds to start a movie. I can deal with that since I only do it once for each movie. Rew/FF performance is more critical since I can rev/FF multiple times in a movie. currently 10-second rew/FF performance is so slow (5-6seconds) that I don't want to use it.
Got a tip for us?

Just paid $10 for Infuse and downloaded it. It found my media library quickly and I was in business...however according to my receiver I'm only getting stereo on all my DTS encoded blu-Ray rips.
When I use Plex I'm at least getting PCM surround
What am I doing wrong?
Oh. The video is stuttering with Infuse as well. Doesn't do that with Plex...

For a number of us it take a number of seconds to start playing and also after FF/REW takes a while to re-start playing. My videos are about 7gb Mpeg2 Recordings and take between 10-15 seconds to start in both cases. What is your experience? And what kind of videos are you playing.
I have Denon receiver, and both DD and DTS passthrough work. but I saw a few people have issue with Denon and other receivers.
Movie also starts within 3 seconds for me while other people experience much longer and/or stuttering. I myself experienced buffering and freezing on a few movies.
I tried to eliminate devices that can cause it (switch) but no luck.

I'm playing mkv files I've created from my dvd and BD collection.
Plays jerky on 2 different ATV4s. One in the living room and one in the bedroom...
I have a Pioneer Elite amp. No idea why it's only showing stereo.
Will stick with Plex. I just hope they can bring DTS And DolbyHD to the platform sooner rather than later.
We're working through a few performance issues that have been reported, and plan to have these resolved in the upcoming 4.0.2 update which we hope to have out before the holiday.
I figured out why I wasn't getting DTS pass thru. Seems you need to turn on pass thru in the apps settings. Works now...
Still getting stuttering though. Good to know it's being worked on...
Great! Glad to hear you're up and running.
4.0.2 will provide noticeable playback improvements. Stay tuned.
I found since updating to 4.01 and clearing my metadata and starting the metadata fetch from scratch has totally broken the app. Now either no metadata is collected or the wrong data is used meaning i have to manually edit each file.
Whilst the fetching was slower on 4.0, it was accurate.
Does anyone else have this issue now?

4.0.1 puts more emphasis on the file naming style, which in most cases results in much faster fetching times. More info on naming styles can be found here. http://support.firecore.com/hc/en-us/articles/215090947-Metadata-101
If you prefer to go back to the fetching logic of 4.0, you can simply enable the Embedded Metadata option found in the Settings menu. Enabling this will slow things down a bit, but it will still be quicker than 4.0.
So just tried it a bit, seems all good on the playback!
I disabled the metadata, it's good to have the option, but then it would be great to have this list view
I am not sure, but it looks like disabling metadata makes it impossible to find subtitles online from the app? If it's true it would be good to change it. I had an old media center (boxee box) and it could search for subtitles even from files not indexed, just from the file name

Infuse will use the IMDb title number to search for subtitles on OpenSubtitles. This number is gathered only with metadata fetching turned on, and there's no way to search without this...at least for now. Sorry.So just tried it a bit, seems all good on the playback!

Am I missing something here? I updated to the latest version 4.0.1 but even if I have only one movie file under every folder in the main movies folder the icons still show up as the "folder icon" rather than the poster. Is deep scanning supported so that we can get a library view in of folder view?

Just curious. Did you create a favorite of the main movie folder or are you navigating down. Maybe try the Favorites route.
I think I got where I was going wrong. The favourite share was from the DLNA (Twonky) protocol rather than the SMB. After creating favourites via SMB am I able to see the library view
I love this app but I want to make a small suggestion regarding metadata. Currently, some of my TV-shows are in folders as this:
Masters.Of.Sex.S02.1080p.Bluray -->
Masters.Of.Sex.S02E01.1080p.Bluray
etc
etc
Infuse then fails to load metadata for the first folder; Masters.Of.Sex.S02.1080p.Bluray since the files are in separate subfolders under the main folder. Could you make it so that this structure works with metadata? It would make me love this app even more
Anyone have a solution for this?
Infuse doesn't currently support this naming style for folders, but a workaround for now is to add your own folder images
This is easily done by inserting a 'folder.png' or 'folder.jpg' image into the folder you wish to display the image on. Infuse will pick up the new image automatically.
I have my movies this type of folder
/Movies/A/Avata.1080p.5.1.mp4
And so on...
/Movies/B/Brave.1080p.5.1.mp4
And so on...
Every time I go in favorites I see folders instead of all my movies and way to fix that?
/Movies/A/Avata.1080p.5.1.mp4
And so on...
/Movies/B/Brave.1080p.5.1.mp4
And so on...

Are there any other files/folders in the A, B folders?
Infuse will recognize single video folders as playable items, but if other content is present inside it will treat these items as normal folders.
