Hello! I set up my Jellyfin server earlier this year purchased Infuse Pro (lifetime) for my house and my family, so now our AppleTV, iPad, and Phones all have access to the server and it's been going as well as I could hope. Zero complaints. I even use a Tailscale tunnel on my phone to connect in and launch up anything I want.

I want to share the wealth and told my best friend about what I have and offered him to a spot. I still have free spots on the Tailscale so I got him hooked up and got him on the free version of Infuse but he's been having a hard time connecting to my server, despite setting it up the same. The good news is Tailscale is working just fine, if he goes to the Jellyfin web interface that plays correctly, but it's Infuse itself that is not connecting. The last time he was over we restarted everything, *locally* hooked everything up from scratch on the Jellyfin user account I made him and it seemed to be okay, but a few days later it stopped working. I'm grasping at straws here, is this potentially a Pro vs Free issue?

So I purchased infuse pro lifetime instead of the yearly subscription now everyone that I was family sharing the app with lost access to the app is there anyway to get family sharing back without doing the yearly subscription

My setup is as follows:

Bravia 9 - AppleTV 4K - Sonos Arc Ultra + Sub 3 + Era 300s.

The past 2-3 weeks, anytime I play a movie or TV show with DD+ Atmos, after 30 mins or so, the audio will dropout or skip for a second every 10 or so seconds. If I restart the app or the AppleTV it’ll stop but start again in 20-30 mins. This behavior is extremely consistent and strange.

I have a Panasonic UB820 player and have no problem with TrueHD Atmos from discs.

I know the most common answer is the HDMI cable but it’s a pain to replace with the tv wall mounted and hidden cabling behind the console and shelves. It’s been working fine these past couple of years but it’s consistent the past month or so.

Is it my AppleTV issue? I changed my settings to keep match frame rate off, I changed the setting down to 4:2:0 from 4:4:4 but that hasn’t helped either. I have the continuous audio connection off.

I’ve also unplugged all the Sonos speakers as well as the AppleTV but it’s made no difference.

I use Infuse Pro for almost all of my tv and movie watching from my plex server so this is issue has been driving me nuts.

Anyone else faced the same issue have found a solution?

Hello is there a way I can have my stremio library on infuse I am new to infuse any help will be appreciated thanks

Playing on Apple TV. Disc 1 is fine and the file even says it's 4 hours and 14 minutes but it only plays the first 2 hours from disc 1. I have the files labeled correctly because Plex is showing it correctly.

Edit: why is everyone being a dick on here? I just asked for some help.

Can’t praise enough how awesome infuse is, especially the one feature. I really love the most is the ambient feature, so freakin cool makes it even more immersive than ever. To all the devs that made this possible I thank you. It has come a long way with updates, big love to the app.

Hi there – I recently got the TP link Deco BE63. There is a USB 3.0 port that I can use to connect a media drive. Has anyone tried creating an SMB directly from the Deco? If so how are the read and write speed? I’m planning to just have it hooked up to my Deco and then use my Windows PC to transfer media to it. FYI the Deco is in access point mode using a wired ethernet backhaul but my Apple TV is connected over Wi-Fi where I’ll use Infuse

Sometimes new media won’t show up in the “latest” category.

Is there a solution to this? I’d really like it to display these things so everyone can see what’s new without asking or manually browsing the folders.

Perhaps an issue with how the media is tagged or an issue with metadata? I can’t seem to find the cause.

I’ve been trying to find the easiest way to watch my favourite movies in the best quality possible, while still using my Apple TV for playback/color handling.

I ended up getting Infuse (an Apple TV media player that can play MKV/REMUX files from network or cloud storage).

I currently have MKV 4K Blu-ray REMUXes of 2–3 of my favourite movies, and once everything is set up, the experience is pretty much exactly what I want.

Initially I tried SMB from my Mac → Infuse, but I didn’t really like it. I had to keep my Mac running whenever I wanted to watch something, and even then I experienced some lag/buffering.

I then tried putting the files on Google Drive and connecting Google Drive to Infuse, and honestly I found this much simpler and more reliable.

The problem is the process of actually getting movies into my Drive.

Right now it basically goes:

Find movie → navigate download site/ads → download 50–80GB REMUX to Mac (2–3 hours) → upload it to Google Drive (another 2–2.5 hours) → finally watch through Infuse

It works, but doing this for every movie is becoming incredibly time-consuming.

My eventual goal is simple: open Infuse on my Apple TV, have a large library of my favourite movies with artwork/metadata, scroll through it, choose something and immediately start watching it in the highest quality available.

My absolute dream scenario would be some kind of legal paid service/account with a huge library of full-quality movie files already hosted remotely. It doesn’t necessarily have to be Google Drive. If there were a service where I could pay for access to the movies and simply connect the storage/library to Infuse and stream them, that would be amazing. Does anything like this actually exist?

If not, my second option would be buying movies/getting authorized REMUX-quality files elsewhere and finding a way to transfer them directly from the source to Google Drive, without routing 50–80GB through my Mac first.

Basically:

Source → Google Drive → Infuse

instead of:

Source → download to Mac → upload from Mac → Google Drive → Infuse

I’m completely fine paying for the movies, storage and/or a subscription. My priority is maximum video quality + convenience. I just want to eliminate the hours of downloading and re-uploading every movie.

Has anyone built a setup like this? What would you recommend?

I would like it to let me choose a version to watch when i have multiple versions. Like if i have a 1080p copy and a 4K copy. Right now when i have both they are separate episodes with the same numbering. I think if it was all combined into something where you can actually choose on the episode itself so it works better, it would be great.

Hi all – I’ve been trying to troubleshoot my windows SMB connection to the Apple TV Infuse. I’m using a wired connection on the windows desktop with a 2.5 gb adapter. Ookla speedtest on the desktop shows download speed of 2.2 GB, this is where all my media is and Apple TV is connected over Wi-Fi. On the Speedtest I’m getting about 700 Mbps on Ookla speedtest on the Apple TV.

When I do the SMB Speedtest on using a movie the Windows SMB maximum I’m getting is about average speed of 130 Mbps.

I plugged my media drive into the router and then I was getting around 650 Mbps. Clearly the Apple TV over Wi-Fi can transmit at that higher speed but when I’m doing it over the windows SMB I can’t cross 130. I know that that is still a very good speed but now I’m curious as to why I’m not getting similar performance from the windows SMB. I’ve tried the different SMB protocols.

Out of curiosity I also created an SMB from my MacBook and got pretty much consistent results at 130 Mbps.

Has anyone else run into a similar situation and is there any solution?

I store my media on my pc which is connected via Ethernet but my Apple TV is on WiFi. I get 100-140 Mbps on SMB with this setup and 800-900 Mbps with emby as the server. Is there any quality difference or it the same as playing it via SMB but just faster?

I've been watching on Infuse using my WebDAV from torbox and my monthly usage shot up like crazy. It was in the 600-800gb range. Past few days I watched Yellowstone Seasons 1,2,3, and 4 with each episode ranging from 5-10gb and now it's at 2.26tb. I tried checking if the math on that was right but even if every episode was 10gb that would equal 400gb from 40 episodes. Not the 1.4tb increase that happened. Anyone know why this is happening? I tried talking to torbox but they said for stuff like this asking the community would be better help. Thanks in advance.

So I have infuse connected to my WebDAV on phone and tv one it’s saying 306 movies that the tv and phone say 304 I don’t know why I rechecked everything refresh everything even counted the movie individually and even it’s the same I don’t know who is right or what going on
