I have been using Infuse for several years now, and have the Infuse Pro subscription plan.
I do not use Metadata (online or local) and do not plan to do so.
I just need Infuse to play video files from my NAS in file browser mode.
On my NAS (SMBv1 share) I have the following folder and file structure:
\HD-TRAILERS-ULTIMATE
[…]
→ !!Aktuell
[…]
----> Prehistoric Planet
------> Prehistoric Planet - Ein Planet vor unserer Zeit (Sneak Peek) [1080p] [Deutsch_English].mkv
------> Prehistoric Planet - Ein Planet vor unserer Zeit (Trailer) [1080p] [Deutsch_English].mkv
[…]
----> Star Trek_ Strange New Worlds
------> Star Trek_ Strange New Worlds (Teaser) [1080p].mp4
------> Star Trek_ Strange New Worlds (Trailer) [1080p].mp4
[…]
----> Star Wars_ Obi-Wan Kenobi
------> Deutsch
--------> Star Wars_ Obi-Wan Kenobi (Teaser) [1080p] [Deutsch].mp4
--------> Star Wars_ Obi-Wan Kenobi (Trailer) [1080p] [Deutsch].mp4
------> English
--------> Star Wars_ Obi-Wan Kenobi (Teaser) [1080p].mp4
--------> Star Wars_ Obi-Wan Kenobi (Trailer) [1080p].mp4
[…]
Infuse (macOS, iPad OS, tvOS) however only shows me the following folders and files:
\HD-TRAILERS-ULTIMATE
[…]
→ !!Aktuell
[…]
----> Prehistoric Planet - Ein Planet vor unserer Zeit (Sneak Peek) [1080p] [Deutsch_English].mkv
[…]
----> Star Trek_ Strange New Worlds (Teaser) [1080p].mp4
[…]
----> Star Wars_ Obi-Wan Kenobi
------> Star Wars_ Obi-Wan Kenobi (Teaser) [1080p] [Deutsch].mp4
------> Star Wars_ Obi-Wan Kenobi (Teaser) [1080p].mp4
[…]
So four of the files are missing and the sub-folders containing the video files are not showing up at all.
If I rename the videos the following way, all of the folders and files are shown correctly in Infuse:
\HD-TRAILERS-ULTIMATE
[…]
→ !!Aktuell
[…]
----> Prehistoric Planet
------> 1.mkv
------> 2.mkv
[…]
----> Star Trek_ Strange New Worlds
------> 1.mp4
------> 2.mp4
[…]
----> Star Wars_ Obi-Wan Kenobi
------> Deutsch
--------> 1.mp4
--------> 2.mp4
------> English
--------> 1.mp4
--------> 2.mp4
[…]
So it’s clear to me, that Infuse has issues with the filenames, but I do not understand, how.
The issue does not occur with VLC or MrMC, but these Apps have other disadvantages and Infuse as a media player is superior in every other way.
How can this be fixed?
Thanks in advance!
