I just spent some time this weekend setting up movie versions to follow the Jellyfin naming conventions and get them consolidated into a single entry in the library.
Now I can’t play the UHD version for most of my movies inside Infuse.
EDIT: Well, it seems they might still be playing the UHD version, even if Infuse lists the HD filename as being selected.
Regarding infuse (whether it is 6pro or 7 the same situation), after connecting to EMBY, it is impossible to distinguish between different versions. Hope it can be resolved.
As shown in the screenshot below, my EMBY has two versions, one is MP4 and the other is the normal version. But helpless infuse can only recognize one version. Hope that later updates can be improved.
What would be even better is if Infuse can supercede version selection from each share, and consolidate media across all shares into a single title selection (ie. exactly 1 movie poster and 1 tv show poster displaying in the library - regardless of the number of shares or file versions)
ie. - theoretical example:
Step 1. Click on Avatar (movie)
Step 1. see versions (in a popup) as follows
Jellyfin 1A (with file information displayed beside each)
Jellyfin 1B (selection in same library - as shown in your post)
Jellyfin 2
Plex 1
Emby 1
Emby 2
Step 3. Click selection to play from the popup
[The above should also be applicable for tv show titles/posters]
In my opinion, this change would essentially make Infuse the only legitimate media solution on the market.
I came by this Apple TV 4k app http://squireapp.com/ and what i like is, they have an option to select server to play the file.
Example:
1). All movies and TV Shows are there together from all servers combine, when you click a file to watch, it ask you from witch server to watch from. It tells you wich server have that file and dislays resolution.
Would you add this option to infuse as well.
Thanks
I’m aware of those threads. James has explicitly said he’s hoping to introduce this feature in 7.5, so I’m asking for an update on that statement. Thanks though…
It has never been referenced on the threads you linked, and yet James has said it will hopefully be included in 7.5. Maybe we’ll see if he can give us an update, instead of guessing
I am running a Jellyfin server and for the most part everything works great.
But Jellyfin and Infuse both use different methods of discerning versions of the same movie.
Jellyfin’s solution is to add ’ - ’ followed by user determined tag (ex: ’ - 1080p’, ’ - Director’s Cut’, etc.) This doesn’t work via Infuse.
Using Infuse’s method of ‘{edition-1080p}’ works on Infuse, but doesn’t work via Jellyfin’s WebUI. I’ve tried various ways of trying to combine the two to see if I can make it work somehow, but to no avail. Funny enough, when dealing with 1080p/2160p versions and having the smart grouping setting set to select the highest quality, Infuse does seem to default to 2160p content when streaming, even though the actual metadata on the Infuse app depicts the 1080p version. This, however, does not apply to bitrate, where both versions are the same resolution and one is a lower bitrate than the other. During my testing, Infuse will just read the first nfo listed in the directory and go with that.
Does anyone have a working solution for this - or am I stuck with picking one over the other? Any future plans to make this work somehow?
It’s still not implemented, and from the planning topic (Upcoming Features (updated 7/8/23)), there is no sign about any implementation.
Is it still planned ? Could we have and ETA maybe if it’s still planned ?
