Infuse video player

“I use it in Infuse, which is a third-party app that supports it, even with its own framework.”

“I've got nothing but good things to say about Jellyfin, Infuse in Apple's ecosystem”

“Now it works pretty dang well, even remotely. One big irritation though is the subtitles are always on by default”

“It supports direct play of pretty much every possible video thx to its built-in codecs.”

“Honestly Infuse may be one of my best app purchases of these past 10 years”

“it's specific to only certain shows (probably those with properly-titled chapters)”

“it plays everything I throw at it without any buffering or transcoding issues”

“In terms of the UX, Infuse isn't very good, but it does the job okay.”

“Works like a charm, and coupled with Tailscale I can access everything on my Nas everywhere”

“Thanks to Jellyfin + Infuse (on AppleTV), even family and visitors have no trouble using my”

“streaming video to Infuse on three Apple TV boxes and music to a Kodi installation on a Raspberry Pi with no issues”

“they really nail the "it just works" of playback”

“it cannot search by tags, nor can it search for words in the description of movies”

“the browsing UI is terrible and offline downloads are really buggy”

“Infuse also supports some codecs on Apple TV that the official Plex client doesn't.”

“Infuse is a nice way to get these features on Apple TV and iOS devices while simply sharing files via SMB.”

“it does not use the media server's transcoding service, so it can work poorly trying to stream remotely”

“Definitely worth it if you have a large variety of media and frequently watch on the Apple TV specifically.”

“Apple TV + Infuse + SMB share made something pretty bulletproof and kid friendly even before.”

“AppleTV with Infuse is what I use now for Jellyfin and video content.”

“I run Infuse connected to Jellyfin on all of our Apple TVs and it's a wonderful experience.”

“the best way (arguably) to experience Jellyfin, Emby or possibly even Plex on any Apple product is the Infuse app”

“Infuse is a better Plex app than Plex is; and it supports Jellyfin and a bunch of other data sources.”

“It's a much better client than Jellyfin's but can connect to Jellyfin server no problem.”

“I also find Infuse to work better on AppleTV devices than the plex app itself for accessing plex libraries.”

“Infuse is popular for Jellyfin users because it is well maintained and allows you to direct stream content without transcoding as often as possible.”

“Infuse does a fantastic job of transcoding higher bitrate 1080 content over LAN and WAN”

“Highly recommend Infuse on Apple TV. Since I was running Plex on my NAS it would often be very buggy and slow with buffering.”

“just buy Infuse because it can play so many titles the Plex player cannot”

“NAS + Apple TV with Infuse app installed = Better than Netflix (and others) imho.”

“There are some apps that get this right. Infuse recently added support for this.”

“Being annual and pretty cheap I really don't mind throwing them some money to continue development, it's worth it to me for the experience.”

“the Infuse UI was unusably show for me, likely due to the library size”

“AppleTV with InFuse handles all/most codecs. Best media player in the market bar none.”

“I have no trouble playing any of my alternatively sourced media, 4K Dolby Vision included, using an app called Infuse”

“for my library, I had frequent issues with codec support on native client vs 0 times on Infuse”

“Infuse has better codec support than any other Apple TV (and possible also macOS) app.”

“Infuse seems to do everything for shows/movies with the sorting, categorizing, posters, descriptions, actor info, search, release dates, etc already”

“AppleTV with Infuse can direct stream and software decode AV1 at 4K 24fps”

“you can use apps like Infuse on the Apple TV for playing your own media files over the network”
