Infuse sometimes does not see changes in the folder that shared by the Mac via SMB sharing, I have not manually remove and re-add the folder to favourite on the infuse app on Apple TV 4K.
Can this be fixed?
What kind of change are you talking about?
Deleting a file?
Adding a file?
Changing a file name?
Exchanging a file while keeping the same file name? Etc.
Have you tried clicking on the “Scan for Changes” button in the Library settings?
I mean that if I add a video file to a folder, which has been added to favourite. the added video file does not get scanned by infuse app on Apple TV 4K. I have to manually remove the folder from favourite and re-add the folder to favourite on the infuse app.
Also how long are you waiting for the scan to occur after you add the file?
I manually click the refresh icon on the Home Screen of the Apple TV 4K infuse app and click scan for changes in the library section of the Apple TV 4K infuse app. but the added video file does not get picked up by the infuse app. I have to manually remove the folder and readd the folder to favourite
When that happens have you tried re-starting (quit and open again) Infuse on the AppleTV?
Where are you looking to see if the video shows up? On the home page, or inside the favorite?
And again,
I look to see a new video file appears on the home page, which is the video file I have just added to the folder.
sometimes infuse app picks up the video file, sometimes it doesn’t pick up the video file
How long in minutes are you waiting?
If you go straight to the favorite the video was added and scroll through there does it show up there? After you do that does it show on the home page?

In my experience in very rare occasions Infuse will stop seeing changes in folders even after manually clicking the refresh icon on the Home Screen of Infuse. I’ve always put it down as some kind of weird bug going on and all I need to do to fix it is to re-start Infuse. YMMV.
the added video doesn’t show up on the home page and doesn’t show up in the folder added to the favourite on the infuse app on Apple TV 4K
there is a bug on the infuse app on Apple TV 4K. otherwise it will pick up files every time you add videos to the folder.

It’s obvious there’s a bug, I’ve already said so. In my case it happens once in a blue moon so it doesn’t really bother me as I only need to re-start Infuse to get it working again.
hope they sort it out considering how expensive the app charged yearly…
there are more even more bugs in the playback experience like when playing 4k video files you can’t skip forward for 10s, black screen on Mac infuse app when playing 4k with DV, infuse can’t load idx and sub format subtitle…
@londor
I notice infuse doesn’t see the changes when I remove the video file from the folder. it happens all the time if I remove the video file from the folder
@NC_Bullseye
Are you just moving the video file out of one folder into another? Could that other folder also be one that Infuse is looking at?
If you are actually deleting the file and not just moving it, here’s a test you should try.
Delete the file from your server and make sure it’s not just moved on the server to a hidden trash bin or Trash Folder.
Go to Infuse and go to Settings > Library
Note the number of TV Shows, Movies and Other
Click on “Scan for Changes”
Watch the messages on the left side of the screen below the count of movies and tv shows and others.
After it scans and syncs it will come to a message that says “Last Update: Today, xx:xx AM”
After you get that message, then go and check to see if that file still shows in Infuse and see if the totals on the Library page in settings is one less for the type of file you deleted.
I did delete the video file, but infuse still does not pick up the changes. it still shows that video file still there. I tried to do scan for changes but it doesn’t work.
Doesn’t work how???
I think this is a bug. I did delete the video file from the folder, but the change was not picked up by infuse. I did do a scan for changes but it still doesn’t work
please fix it in version 8
