Collection NFO support & Extras

[jsc1205]

As a new user coming over from Plex, would like to request implementation of the following for Infuse. Not sure if these are in the works or being considered, but I’m sure others would greatly appreciate them being added:

1. Support collections NFO for custom collections. Example, TMDB breaks down MCU titles by character but does not support custom MCU collections. Also enable Infuse to pull over all the poster, logo, etc for the custom collection as well.
2. Why does Infuse not support movie Extras??? This is a no brainer…needs support!

Thanks!

I believe this is covered in this currently running thread in the suggestions forum.

View Plex collections when browsing Plex libraries

Thank you for the introduction of Plex collections, this is a great addition. And they keep the advanced options set in Plex (sort order and collection mode)!! It seems however that they are only visible in Infuse’s Library. On my Plex Server, I have several Plex libraries : “Movies”, “Movies for kids”, “TV Shows”, “TV Shows for kids”…, which I favorite in Infuse, so that I can access them directly. Unfortunately, collections do not appear when I browse these favorites. Would be great if they …

Also enable Infuse to pull over all the poster, logo, etc for the custom collection as well.

Already running here so you can add your support there.

Change Collection Cover (Artwork)

Being able to add custom collections is nice, but it’s slightly limited by the lack of ability to choose artwork for the collection. It would be great to be able to choose artwork for any collection.

This is also requested in a currently running suggestion thread here.

Extra Movie features

Plex has the ability to recognize extra features like deleted scenes, featurettes, behind the scenes, trailers, and others by using specific directory names under the root directory for the movie. The extra features show up on the movie detail page. This prevents the application from treating it like it is another movie file and applying the wrong metadata. Is there any plan to implement a way for Infuse for the 4th gen Apple TV to handle extra features?

Just FYI for future posts in the suggestions, it helps Firecore gauge interest in specific ideas when it’s kept to one suggestion per thread.

That makes it easier for other users to show their support for specific ideas.

I believe this is covered in this currently running thread in the suggestions forum.

Technically, these are two different requests — Plex collections vs. .nfo Collections.

One need not use Plex to add a “Collections” tag to a local .nfo metadata file.

Infuse currently offers limited support for local .nfo tags, most recently adding recognition of cast tags, but this does not extend to the collections tag, as yet. This sample file includes all the tags currently supported.

However, I’ll note that using local .nfo files since the addition of support for cast and crew override is problematic, to say the least, and I’ve had to refrain from doing so.
