We’re excited to announce that Infuse 8.5 is available today, bringing new streaming options, better media server support, and a handful of thoughtful refinements to iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, and Vision Pro. This release introduces transcoding options for Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin, along with imp…

Sorry, I should’ve been more specific. Long pressing Play on an entire TV series starts playing at S01E01. I no longer get the context menu to shuffle. However drilling down to an individual season, I am able to long press and shuffle, but only that one season. Thanks!

Great that this new Transcoding option has been added as I used to have to revert to Plex itself when WiFi is slow when I am away. Just curious, does it offer any benefit/difference than using Plex to do the same? Also for some reason subtitles are not being “transcoded” into the stream and also can…

Does this fix or help with the issue iOS has had with no longer being able to airplay certain formats that used to play fine?

@james Hi I’m not sure if you are aware but on TVOS you cannot skip forwards, or backwards if ‘skip mode’ is set to ‘videos’. Why would you add a much needed feature, if it removes an equally needed feature, it defeats the whole purpose of adding the feature in the first place?!

I agree, although I’d really like to have a small divider between cast and crew, or at least between director and the rest of the cast and crew.

Confirmed on Infuse 8.5 for Apple TV. The issue occurs only when browsing the SMB share through File Browser. The same episodes display their correct individual titles in Library mode. In File Browser, every episode card instead shows the matched series title, while the selected episode’s header sti…
