I'm trying to wrap my head around the newer 4/4K model, TV app, and Up Next feature. From those with experience in these things...

Is there an app that would allow me to integrate, let's say a 'folder' of personal library shows from a networked drive, into the TV app Up Next? Or would the folder/queue be distinct from Up Next?

I've been looking at the Infuse and Plex apps, but am not entirely sure how they integrate.

Thanks for sharing your experience/info.

The TV app only draws from certain apps
the chosen apps kinda scroll across the bottom of this page
https://www.apple.com/tv-app/

infuse and plex do not go into it.
nor are they searchable in global search.

i don't use the TV app at all, mostly plex (record a lot of my own shows), and HBO & showtime standalone apps

the couple of times i've tried to use the TV app, for me, it doesn't really work well, new shows tend to take a while to show up, so Shameless is on at 9pm, i can go directly there in the showtime app at 9, but it doesn't show up in TV app till the next day.
