Are You Still Watching? Please get rid of this

Not really sure how this annoying popup is consider a feature but i find it so annoying that i will stop paying for infuse Pro on Apple TV 4k.

Please add a option to turn this off or i will move to another player. I use Jellyfin and do not use any data to stream.

Settings > Playback > Wake me up > Off

And yes the name will be changed soon. :wink:

I did see that in the settings but thought it was for something else. I will give it a try.

Thanks

I have to admit, I’ve been kinda furious about this the last few days. It’s caused a lot of confusion. We use Infuse to play playlists of background noise overnight for sleep & have been awakened more times than I can count. But because the pop-up doesn’t remain visible after a short time, didn’t see it because it had already gone away. So, I was troubleshooting everything I could think to try to figure out why playback was stopping so many times. I posted (then deleted) a bug report because I thought it was an issue with Playlists coming back but when I tested it, it worked fine. It was only due to a bout of insomnia last night that I happened to be awake when the playback stopped & I finally saw the pop up leading me to check the settings for something new.

Look, I absolutely LOVE that Infuse is continually working hard to add features and add more value to the app. It’s why I support development with the paid Pro version. I believe in the Infuse app & team and it offers features that aren’t available any where else, especially on ATV.

Having said that, when AppleTV is set to automatically update apps, the user doesn’t even know that a new version has been installed since it’s a transparent process. I’d respectfully like to suggest, when there is a new feature that alters the Infuse Pro experience as much as the new “Wake Me Up” feature does, please either add a pop-up when the app first launches after the update describing the new feature that’s been added & letting people know it’s been enabled automatically, or, better yet… please do not enable it automatically!! It really didn’t need to be. As other posters have said, a lot of Infuse users don’t use internet bandwidth at all making it a nice feature to have but certainly not mandatory to have forced enabled.

Also, while I know from the earlier post that they are changing the name which is very welcome, having a more descriptive name from the start would help a great deal. In this case something like, “Are you still watching prompt” (off/on) might be an option.

Having said that, for our use case, the “Wake me up” descriptor turned out to be surprisingly accurate since we were awakened by it a number of times. :frowning:

Sorry for the confusion here.

We’ll be setting this to disabled by default for the next update. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the update!
