Potential Features for Infuse 8: Enhancing Subtitle Management

With Infuse 8 coming this fall, I have a couple of suggestions that could significantly improve the user experience, especially regarding subtitle management:

Current Process for External Subtitles on macOS:

  1. Drop the subtitles in the player.
  2. Click ‘okay’.
  3. Click the gear icon.
  4. Go to advanced settings.
  5. Scroll down to subtitles.
  6. Click subtitles.
  7. Scroll down to imported.
  8. Click imported.
  9. Select the added subtitles.

This process is quite cumbersome. To streamline it, I’ve suggested an improvement here: Automatically match/associate imported subtitles.

Integrating Cloud Storage for Subtitles:

To further enhance usability, it would be convenient if users could upload subtitles to a cloud service (e.g., iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive) and have Infuse read from there. This aligns with another suggestion: Sync/unify imported subtitles across devices. Such integration would allow seamless access to subtitles across different devices without manual transfers.

Direct Subtitle Uploads Within Infuse:

Alternatively, Infuse could allow direct subtitle uploads within the app. Adding an “Upload Subtitles” option when right-clicking a show’s poster would simplify the process without needing third party cloud integration.

These features could make Infuse 8 an even better video player/media center by enhancing subtitle management and syncing across devices.

Sorry for the long post.

What happened to Apple TV multi user support? Is it still planned for 8.0?

It’s still planned, but apparently not for the 8.0 release. So it will probably return to the upcoming features list when they get past the initial release for some 8.x release.

It’s status still shows as planned.

Infuse already has visibility of the watched status from the Server when in direct mode. There just isn’t the option to filter the view.

Jellyfin, for example has the option to filter Unwatched. I can see the same Watched/Unwatched status in Infuse but can’t filter by it when using direct mode.

Will we ever be able to view our Apple TV purchased content through Infuse?

Maybe James could lobby that with the EU. They love to take on Apple right now.

So, to clarify, if we have a $9.99 yearly subscription now, we keep that locked in at that price point or purchase a lifetime subscription for $99.99, which will upgrade to 8x, 9.x, 10.x, etc.?

I’d rather spend $100 and forget about it than the mental “another sub” in the back of my mind. :melting_face:

Correct. As long as you don’t let your subscription lapse, the price will be maintained at $9.99/year. Or, you can buy the lifetime subscription, which will be good as long as infuse is around

Yup just as @munpip214 said, as long as you don’t let it lapse it will stay at the $9.99 per year through the life of Infuse. Now it doesn’t lock in the $99.99 lifetime price just because you have the annual so if you want to go the lifetime route it’s best to not count on that price being left at $99.99. It may go up if history holds any indication of what’s to come.

I’m with you, go lifetime and don’t have that weight hanging over you of “another” subscription. :+1:

I know that some also choose to go the subscription route so that there is a continuous revenue stream for the developer or that they want to give as long as they are using the product. Whatever you prefer.

@james for the next major update I would like to see a bunch of Firecore-made cool icons for the “favorites” - beside the more or less not so cool icons you already made (my opinion).

Why not this?

Hey James, I’ve been following the upcoming features thread… and noticed the * Refreshed app designs… does that include stuff like an updated Home Screen UI?

Yeah, at the moment I have my own icons, which I created on my own. But I’m not a professional graphic designer, so some cool, quality icons from Infuse would be cool.

Have you seen this thread? Some pretty amazing stuff. :+1:

With infuse 8, will icloud sync still be available between devices?

I don’t think that will change. Sync may not work with older versions, though
