I’m not willing to go that far; but they’re definitely standing still on the long-neglected issues and omissions with native Infuse that many of us have been waiting on appropriate fixes and updates for for literally years.
8.0 is currently slated for Vision Pro, Multi-User, and “Design Refreshes”.
We KNOW that no more than one of those things will actually make the initial release; and only at a very limited feature set which will need to be followed up with .1, .2, .3, .4 (etc.) releases.
I’m predicting 8.0 will be almost all Vision Pro and that Multi-User will once again be pushed back at least another 6 months beyond the eventual late 2024 release of 8.0 … so to Q2 of 2025 at the earliest … if ever. And even then, it will likely only work with Plex, because the tvOS volatile cache problem isn’t going anywhere.
I wonder whatever happened to Firecore’s announcing they were finally rewriting Infuse’s underlying UI and database elements such that programming features like additional per-category and folder sort-orders and the use of multiple filters concurrently could finally be added?
Those efforts have appeared to be scrapped in order that Firecore could pursue weaving two brand new, incredibly complex projects into the existing, and by Firecore’s own admission, long overgrown and functionally obsolete code base.
… But not longer than should have been expected, based on every previous precedent in Firecore’s entire history of development.
