Apps Infuse for Apple TV Released

Yes I have all my A movies in the A folder and B movies in the B folder and so on...

Got it.

Right now Infuse will display the actual folder structure you have in place (with the exception of single movie folders as described earlier).

A library view option will be available in an upcoming version, which will allow Infuse to display all movies in a single view, no matter how they are organized.

Please keep an eye on our site for updates.

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.

Okay. Thanks. I will adjust my folder structure to work with infuse.
 
Is Firecore adding any support in Infuse for 2000ms audio delay when using airplay speakers on ATV4?

My Shares (NAS Server) isn't listed on the possible shares, why is that? I'm running my movies from Plex and I can use the Infuse over iPhone from NAS, I would like to really teste it before buying the app pro if needed

Yes, it's something we're looking into.

For streaming from Plex, you will want to ensure the DLNA option is enabled.

My problem isn't streaming with Plex, let me try to give you a better explanation:

1 - I can now see movies in my Samsung TV, Sony TV, iPhone and apple TV stored on my NAD, using PLEX;
2 - I can also see my shares from NAS on my iPhone, using Infuse;

My problem is, why can't I any shares in my apple TV? I'm sure it is connected to the same network as NAS (otherwise point 1 wouldn't work), I'm sure that the NAS allows it (otherwise point 2 wouldn't work), so what is happening? :\

Hmm, that is a bit strange.

It may be best to open a support ticket on this so we can look into it a bit deeper.

I am intrested why my picture shutter if I play video file from my Synology DS214play over Asus AC87U (5Ghz) Wifi on perfekt signal with 870Mbps connection.
I aslo checked with another HDMI cable but the same problem?

Is this too heavy for Apple TV 4 to decode for smooth play?

Sorry about that, we'll take a look. If you have a second to send in a quick note with a few details about the affected videos/subtitles it may help. http://firecore.com/contact

We've been looking into a few cases of this, and the upcoming 4.0.2 update will have a number of playback related improvements. Stay tuned. ;)
 
Just bought an ATV 4 today, impressed by how fast Infuse is compared to the app on My iPhone 6. I have a Synology NAS with my DVD rips which took forever for Infuse to show on my phone, only took a few seconds for the Apple TV to start showing all the titles.
 
Thanks for reply "firecore". But what is most intrested is that i cant not play smooth this two video files (captured with iPhone 6s Plus Full HD 60FPS):
http://1drv.ms/1NH3uA5

Tell me please if You know. Is this not enough strong hardware (Apple TV) or not fully optimized software?
 
I installed Infuse today and immediately had trouble to enable the share on the Mac Mini I use as file server. Infuse did see it under shares but I was only able to connect to it after I turned on the option file sharing using SMB on the Mac Mini. It took me some Googling and it turned out that the lack of AFP support is an old Infuse 'flaw'.

Then I was able to view my files, well not exactly as I only see very large icons instead of the file list I was used to when using the Apple TV 2 and Infuse. This is unworkable to me unfortunately, Firecore can you please reinstall the traditional file view? I don't need to see preview icons of the files, the file name will do.
 
So I bought infuse pro and a few thoughts.

Works very well. My setup is a WD HDD connected to my AirPort Extreme.

My only issues are :

When I re open the app and click on my favourites it takes a long time to load and at times stops all together. Eg if i select my movies folder once I re open the app it doesn't work, but strangely if I then select the tv folder and go back to movies it loads the content.

Any fix for that?

Also, artwork. It's way too slow to load and at times doesn't load at all for the movies and tv shows I have. Is there no way to have it saved as every time I open the app it reloads the content so I see a lot of white boxes.

I am reviewing Infuse Pro, NAStify and MrMC and none support AFP. I love the UI of Infuse except that for me it has performance problems which I hope will be fixed in next release. For you, the NAStify may be the UI you are looking for. Or maybe MrMC. But NAStify is pretty cheap and maybe exactly what you want so I recommend you try that.

The 4.0.2 update should resolve the issues with the 2 files you posted specs for. We'll take a look at your other 2 samples.

A list view option is in the works for an upcoming version. Stay tuned. ;)

A handful of improvements that may help are coming in 4.0.2.

In the meantime, one thing to check is to see if the 'embedded metadata' option is enabled in the Infuse Settings menu. This is disabled by default, and enabling it changes how Infuse fetches metadata and will slow things down quite a bit.

4.0.2 should provide a number of all-around improvements with regard to playback and streaming - hang in there. ;)

Ive followed this link http://support.firecore.com/hc/en-us/articles/215090897-Enable-File-Sharing-on-a-Mac-PC to add a single folder to display movies in, but it links my entire computers HD drive. work documents and all. can anyone explain like I'm 5 what I'm doing wrong? tried emailing firecore but haven't received a response.

Once a share has been added, you'll be prompted to add a Favorite, which is like a bookmark, to appear in the main menu. This will limit to what is browsable on the Apple TV.

If you prefer Infuse to have a hard limit (so folders in other areas can't be seen or added at all) you can set up a share manually and add a folder path after the address. Keep in mind, you will still need to select a favorite to display in the main menu, so I'd recommend adding a path one level below the folder that contains your videos.

E.G if your movies reside at: My-Mac.local/Videos/Movies then set up a share for: My-Mac.local/Videos

Hope this helps.
