New to Infuse and finding my way around it. I have infuse setup to use my plex libary with infuse libary mode off. I would like to see my movie and tv shows on the infuse home screen so I can access them easily. I have noticed that '‘See All’ is to the far right of the screen and you have to scroll all the way to the right to see all the items in those libary’s. Is there a better way? I have created a plex ‘playlist’ for films and tv shows and for films that works as I can click that and all my films show in a list but if I do the same thing for tv shows it shows them by every singles episode instead of by tv show? Any ideas, I have messed with the plex filters before creating the playlist but cant seem to get it to work.
A show all at the LEFT hand side would be far more convienient from an infuse point of view in my opionion.
Before anyone asks, I use infuse with plex as using the plex client on ATV or nvidia shield causes micro stutters in the playback, using infuse it’s absolutely flawless.
great product apart from the strange placement of ‘show all’.
I don’t know whether you are using a TV or a mobile phone. As far as mobile phones are concerned, most people are right-handed. It seems more reasonable to view them all on the right side.
If you are using TV, you can add the plex media library category to the homepage, so that you can directly view all the videos in the category from the homepage, while those categories on the homepage only display the latest updated videos.
You can add two types of items to the Home Screen: favorites and lists.
Favorites are icons that would appear in the Favorites row, and these can be links to specific Plex libraries. These can be added by browsing the Plex share, long-pressing on the Library you want to add, and choosing the ‘Add to Favorites’ option.
Lists are rows of content that are based on lists that are created by the server. For Plex, this can be things like Smart Lists any other lists that have been pinned to your home screen in the Plex web UI. These can be managed by selecting the Lists icon in the upper right corner of the home screen.
I also recommend just giving library mode a shot. I find the momentary delay of refreshing the artwork on every page to be a dealbreaker with direct mode. Library mode will use space on your ATV to cache the artwork, which can be slow at first depending on the size of your Plex library, but afterward everything is snappy and instant like it is on the official Plex client.
Depending on how long you’ve had the Apple TV, you it may be wise to factory reset the Apple TV to fully clear all the cruft that can be leftover by other apps in the storage system, freeing up space for Infuse metadata. I have a 32GB ATV and my Plex library has over 1000 movies and over 5500 TV episodes, and the cache takes about 6 GB. There’s plenty of room there if you keep other apps to a minimum. There are (free) ATV apps you can download that show you system storage usage too.
