Plex is nice, but it has limitations. For example you MUST run the Plex server on another device, like a Mac or PC. Infuse is a bit more flexible in the sense you can just take your videos and go.
A number of additional feature such as streaming, enhanced AirPlay, wifi uploads and more are also currently in the works.
Tell you what would be a winning feature - wireless storage support - like the seagate wireless plus for example. Much easier than transferring videos to my 32gb iPad that never seems to have much space left! And it would support file formats that the storage devices native apps never do.
Since Firecore is working on a streaming option, it would be great if VOB folders are supported as they are in atv flash. That combined with airplay would appease me because I would be able to use my atv3 and not just the atv2.
Just wanted to add my vote, I would love to have HD streaming, like AirVideo/QuickIO/etc …
I don’t mind to run a server on my mac or windows machine, they are always on, and for those that have NAS Servers at home, would be really good as well, so we don’t need to sync/copy to iPad witch many of us bought the 16Gb version and there’s no space left for videos :$
I’m buying the app, only to support Firecore, I don’t think I will use that often while AirPlay or HD Streaming is available.
The absolutely necessary feature would be the ability to stream videos from a NAS - I am glad that you’re working on it, hope to see it in the next release! I bought the app as incentive
Would be great if NAS/SMB support worked just like ATV, so all the media folders people have set up for their ATV would show up the same way on Infuse.
I have a 64gig 1st-gen iPad. Can anyone comment on how well a 1st-gen iPad performs with Infuse? Not looking for anything overly technical - I’m just wondering if this might push the old beast a little harder than it can keep up with…
Infuse is specifically tuned for each device, so it should work just fine on the iPad 1. However, you may need to temper your expectations for the type of videos it will support, as things like 1080p are out of the question, unfortunately.
