Touch controls (Android) feel off, double tap conflicts between skip and play/pause

Hey everyone, I wanted to bring up something that's been bugging me with the touch controls on Android (think iOS has the same problems, but I use Android tablet), and I'm curious if others are experiencing the same thing.

The current double tap gesture setup feels really inconsistent. Double tapping to skip forward/backward and double tapping for play/pause constantly conflict with each other, and I find myself triggering the wrong action pretty much every other time. It honestly feels like ~80% of the screen is treated as the play/pause zone, so even when going for a quick skip, I end up pausing the video instead.

It would be great if the team could look into improving this. One approach would be to handle play/pause with a two finger tap, similar to how Infuse does it, which avoids the conflict entirely. Alternatively, shrinking the play/pause tap area to a smaller zone in the center of the screen would already make a big difference.

Anyone else running into this? Would love to know if it's a wider issue.

VidHub's HDR / DV is not as good as Infuse (16" MacBook Pro M2 Pro)

I have been using Infuse and VidHub alternatively for a while now and I am convinced that VidHub's DV/HDR is not as good as Infuses'.

You can see the difference clearly with "RRR" movie BDRemux.

Try to play it in both Infuse and VidHub and you will notice a difference in the first 5 seconds.

I am not sure if this is only MacOS problem. I have an Apple TV at home that I cannot test now as I am out of station and travelling.

What is your experience with high quality HDR / DV remuxes on VidHub?

Just Bought Lifetime - Need Help

Okay so I am coming from Infuse, my yearly is expiring and since it was the same cost as VidHub for a lifetime membership i went ahead and pulled the trigger.

I am using it with OMNI on IOS.

With Infuse, if i set that as my external player, if i watch something, close out of the apps, go back to OMNI -> Play -> Infuse will auto keep my position and resume playback where im at.

With VidHub,
OMNI -> Play -> VidHub will play but start from the beginning again....

Only if I open VidHub -> Press play it will resume from that position.

How can I get VidHub to resume the position where I left off when pressing playing on Omni?

Also noticing that when I am playing something from Omni, lets say Harry Potter.

Even if I watch 30 minutes of it, close out of the app, reopen VidHub, that file is not there anymore?

Infuse keeps any open links in the library, how can I get VidHub to do the same thing?

Fetcherr now supports TorBox

if you’re looking for a self-hosted (24/7 running server required) Stremio-like experience that is built to natively stream within Infuse and VidHub, i’ve added TorBox support for Fetcherr.

it monitors Trakt and MBDLists to fetch the best quality cached content currently available via Stremio Add-ons for new and existing media as it becomes available.

no Plex, Jellyfin, Rclone, or other mounting options required. deploy the docker container and point infuse directly to your local Fetcherr service and you can immediately begin media playback.

4K REMUX Stuttering + White Flashing on M1 Mac Across VLC, IINA, and Vidhub.

Running into a weird issue with a specific 4K REMUX file on my MacBook Pro M1.

  • MKV
  • ~72GB
  • HDR10 only (no DV profile)

The file has playback problems across multiple players:

What’s strange is:

  • the issues happen at the exact same timestamps in every player
  • after fully downloading the file locally, the problem still exists
  • other 4K HDR REMUX files play perfectly fine on this machine

Even stranger: multiple releases/remuxes of this same film from different groups all have the same issue.

Anyone run into this before with Apple Silicon or certain REMUX titles?
