Infuse • Video Player

Why would I want to pay to watch videos that I added to my device??

Infuse is a great alternative to buying an expensive playback device but for some reason the developers do not listen to what their customers want making it less convenient to use. One area this apparent is with " Recently Added" feature. Infuse ignores the date the video was actually added and uses alpabetical instead. This is totally useless and when you try to find the show you just added - forget about using \"recently added" to find it. Why the developers insist on upsetting current and future users is beyond me.

This company uses FFMPeg, and open source engine. Then they charge a monthly fee, or one time giant purchase, for this. I’m here to tell you I did this, this genuinely awful person changed his app and decided to charge me again. Disgusting behavior.

Overall it’s not a bad player. You have to pay for it to play virtually anything. I’m okay with that but there are some serious shortcomings. First, there is no way to rename anything within the app. Even the most basic players have this ability. Although you can create folders it is not intuitive. You cannot have subfolders which, again, basic stuff. So let’s say you have a show with ten seasons. You cannot have the seasons in separate sub folders. Loading files is relatively easy. However, the PC interface is flawed. If you open a folder you have to navigate completely out and then back into the interface. Certainly not worth paying for given its shortcomings and the fact that they are on version 8.0.8. There are better options for the money.

First of all I’ll start with the pros which are many but let’s go through them. I love it have compatibility with DV & all of the other HDR formats so I never worry if my file is going to be able to play the same applies to Atmos & higher audio signals. Next you can connect almost every type of cloud storage service to directly play in your library so you don’t have to worry about if you will have enough storage space. For any file you have it will let you watch the trailer for it without having to download it or open you tube which is nice. It has excellent subtitle support and different options to add more if your file doesn’t have any already available. If you ever need help their customer support team is very helpful it does take them a little longer than I’d hope to respond but at least they will respond every time you need them. I also love that having paid for a year subscription I’m guaranteed to get all major app updates including new functionality not offered before without having to pay more even if they raise the subscription I still will get it without paying extra while I’m still a premium member. The last pro I’ll mention is that for an entire year the subscription is only $10 which is more than reasonable for what you get. There are only a few cons and really aren’t big more of an inconvenience. No offline playback unless you have already downloaded the file to your hard drive which for my iPad is only 256gb so I have to plan ahead to watch something if there may not be WiFi available. Next if I download a full 4k DV 7.1 audio Blu-ray movie at 90 gigs and a bit rate of like 70 mb/s it will play but when it starts it kinda stutters for 10 or 15 seconds but then it’s perfect after so I don’t really know what that’s about. Then like for 24 hours every few months the entire app won’t play anything just gives an error message that says something like muxing failure or I don’t know but I’ve tried closing it and starting it again, force close it, delete the app and download again, delete google drive and download again, reset my WiFi, reboot my tablet factory reset my tablet but nothing has ever solved it except just waiting but like I said it’s never been more than 24 hours before it fixes itself. The last con and I’m not sure if this is an app problem or maybe it’s a setting that I can’t fix but in the library it shows all my movies and tv shows but there is no artwork shown just a grey icon but once I click on that then it will show the backgro

Honestly, I’d love to use a native Jellyfin app (see Swiftin, I think it’s called). But their apps are a buggy, non-feature complete mess. Infuse on the other hand is mature, stable, and feature-complete for my use cases. I use Infuse to stream movies and TV shows I have hosted locally on Jellyfin to my phone, iPad, MacBook, and Apple TV. Progress syncing is—quite literally—instantaneous, somehow (that might be Jellyfin). I stop watching one device, pick up on another, and I’m right where I left off. I’m in love with the left vs. right screen up/down swipe gestures in the video player which allow you to quickly and precisely change the brightness and audio. Although, sometimes—to my poor iPhone/iPad speaker’s detriment—I forget which side is which when I’m trying to crank the brightness :P Infuse is a well-made, mature video player. I highly recommend it!

Plex completely fails to play videos. Sound cuts out. Subtitles don’t work (can’t download, offset). With Infuse it all just works. One problem, for which I have to deduct 1 star: it doesn’t handle sub-accounts in Plex. I set my mother up with Infuse but it uses my main Plex account, which means we are constantly stepping over each other’s "watched" status. That is a huge problem for me. I will gladly upgrade to 5 stars when this feature is implemented.
