It’s not new new, but in the context of this 7-year discussion, it’s a newer development
7 posts were split to a new topic: Should Firecore Develope Their Own Server?
I feel like basic features like Extras/Bonus Material for movies and tv shows should be prioritized over extremely niche use cases like Vision Pro support (which is on the decline already). The streaming servers already support extras (and movie/show versions), so it’s simply a matter of implementing it on Infuse’s side—direct play should make this even easier.
At least on Jellyfin, Infuse is the best way to connect to a JF server on Apple TV, but ironically has less features than if you pull up the web player on mobile.

This.
Would also like to see this. Having ability to group these features in with the movie is a big step towards recreating the menu experience of a disc without the disc or menu support.
We’re fourth highest when it comes to likes in the Suggestions forum, so we’re being exposed! Unfortunately all the other high liked suggestions also seems to go ignored for years…
Dolby Vision, multiple versions of movies, and trailers were three “recently” added top user requests
Those are some good ones! Thanks for the perspective.
Regarding your above use of sarcasm quotes:
Trailers and Smart Grouping were introduced in Infuse 7.5; released March 2023 (15 months ago).
Dolby Vision support was first introduced in Infuse 6.4.1; released July of 2019 (nearly 5 years ago).
Also waiting for this feature – currently my workaround is to browse my “favorites” folder directly, to navigate to the video files that aren’t exposed to Infuse.
But there’s an extra wrinkle – any folder with the name “Featurettes” or “Extras” is hidden! In fact, subfolders don’t get shown at all, it shows the TV show seasons instead. Which I understand, is so that the files don’t pollute the main media listing with a ton of stuff that would go in “Other”.
So I have to rename the folder to something else using my Mac, just so that it will appear in Infuse’s folder navigation. And then of course the files get interpreted bizarrely trying to match them up to TMDB metadata…
So @james even if this feature doesn’t get implemented “properly”, it would still be a big improvement to be able to navigate using the folder structure within the Favorites folders, and at least play them from there, even if they’re in a folder named “Featurettes” or “Extras”.
I am contemplating switching completely back to Plex’s own client, simply to get access to all my bonus material. I think I’ve waited enough years for this to happen, and it doesn’t seem that Firecore’s developers think it in any way important. I have so much bonus material indexed through Plex, but no way to access it with Infuse, without jumping through hoops.
