![]() ![]() How does Infuse advertise itself to the Plex server for purposes of Direct Play? Does it ask the server to transcode anything? Okay I understand that I can get a free week or month via signing up for a subscription.Ĭan anyone explain why, when I play the video back with Infuse I am seeing different performance and behavior then when I play it back with the Plex app and using the same back-end? It’s not clear to me if Infuse would also allow me to relegate this machine to the dust bin of history. I have an Intel NUC system that I use Kodi on that I used to bust out when I wanted to watch my full bit rate HD stuff as it can convert HD audio formats to PCM, etc. ![]() Before subscribing I want to better understand what I would be getting out of Infuse that Plex is not doing for me. How will Infuse help me out here, or will it? I tried setting up the Infuse App, pointed it to my existing Plex server and it immediately wanted me to do a subscription. I don’t observe these micro-stutters in other apps just the Plex app. These are tiny jumps in the picture, some users might not notice them, but I do. I am getting “micro stutters” during playback. When the bit rate is too high or the codec seems to be incompatible I will notice bad video stuttering, macro blocking, etc., and this is usually cured by one or more corrective actions such as limiting playback to 20mbps 1080P or disabling direct play in the Plex app. Normally my expectation is that these files get transcoded by the Plex server since the Apple TV can’t handle these codecs. None of my content is 4K so at most these would be 1080P BD rips where I ripped the full bit-rate Blu-ray using MakeMKV to an MKV file, these files might include VC-1 video codec, True-HD audio codec, etc. I am getting “bit rate choking” when playing higher bit-rate MKV files from my library. I noticed after this upgrade a couple of issues with the Plex app I recently upgraded my main viewing area and purchased a 77" LG OLED TV and an Apple TV 4K. Overall I’ve been pretty happy with the performance of Plex running on a Windows i7 based server back-end and feeding out Plex to the Plex app on my various devices, most of them now are 1080P Apple TVs. In the process of trying to debug some playback issues with Plex app on my Apple TV 4K it was recommended to try Infuse 6 and I’m trying to understand the advantages/disadvantages to this approach. Update 11/20: The second beta of Infuse 4 for Apple TV has been released! Change notes can be found here. ![]() Update 11/17: The first beta of Infuse 4 for Apple TV has been sent out to beta testers! Please share feedback in the beta thread in our discussion forum. While we still can't accommodate everyone, we can at least get it into the hands of a few more people. Update 11/10: Following Apple's announcement today that increases the TestFlight limit from 1,000 to 2,000 testers, we've sent out a second round of beta emails. ![]() Thanks again, and keep an eye on this space for updates. Infuse for Apple TV (beta)Įmails are being sent out today to all those who made it into the beta group (be sure to check your spam folder - just in case). The amount of interest we received for the Infuse beta was truly staggering, and unfortunately while we'd love to accommodate everyone, there are limits to how many beta testers TestFlight will allow us to have. If you don't get an email today, you can expect to use the official version of Infuse very soon. We're also happy to announce that Infuse 4 for Apple TV will be a free update for all current (v3) Infuse Pro users. We think what we've made is really great and we can't wait to share it with you very soon. As you can imagine, it's been a very busy fall here, to say the least. However, we're now (finally!) starting to see a beautiful bright light at the end of the tunnel, and that light is coming into form as Infuse 4 for Apple TV. ![]()
