It’s been nearly 8 years since the first post suggesting this, so there’s still hope… Also, as I mentioned before, this has always been one of the most requested features. It’s puzzling why the focus hasn’t shifted to this highly requested feature instead of less popular ones. If implementing it isn’t the intention, why ask for suggestions and have an upvote system? It seems pointless to have such a system if it serves no purpose.

I think implementing this one might be difficult due to Apple’s tvOS leaving apps very little reservable space in persistent storage. Each user would presumably want their own libraries and settings and that would more than double the space Infuse would need to use (given additional overhead for managing the multiple profiles) and to date they’ve barely had enough space for a single user — library databases get erased all the time by iOS wherever it feels space is running short for users to install new apps apple wants to sell you.
Hello @james ,
unfortunately there is still no multi-user support like in my picture on Plex.
Switching users on the Apple TV is not the most convenient solution as you then also have all other apps disconnected.
Why does nobody react to the requests of the users?

It’s really sad that this is ignored when there is so much interest.
We are all fans of Infuse, but please wake up.
**@James we love you and your Infuse, but
PLEASE LISTEN TO YOUR COMMUNITY AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

This is still planned, and something we are hoping to look into sometime after the release of 8.0.

I’m a little disappointed that you put niche hardware like the Apple Vision pro before an eternal desire of your customers. This multi-user feature would be used by far more paying customers than something for which you need an end device costing at least 3500 dollars and which almost nobody here has.

Not anymore. Going mighty cheap on ebay and the like, I’ve heard.
Still need this, I believe any Apple TV user urgently needs this multi-user function, convenient and recommended approach is similar to that of Netflix. When you turn on the infuse TV, it prompts you to select your own profile, with each profile corresponding to its own media library sources. Switching to an adult profile would require a PIN, and each profile would maintain separate viewing histories and media libraries through iCloud.
This technically works but there are several downsides. One of which seems to be that when you use the search feature it’s kind of random which users share it finds a match in. I have 4 users setup (myself and my 3 kids) and when you run a search it gives results seemingly randomly from one of the four shares setup.
On top of that there’s not PIN or other type of protection on the various shares to the kids have full access to my share including R rated content even though their profiles have been limited on the server side (Jellyfin).
I greatly appreciate your response as it allowed me to get something going for now, but it’s definitely a hacky workaround. Firecore needs to implement this properly.

More than likely most of the devs have one, which is why it suddenly became more important.
I agree, it just sucks. If infuse had multi user profiles I would use it full time. And would be nice for it to request remote server like Plex or jellyfin to transcode.
I put up with Plex app because I need kids accounts separated. I now only use infuse with my projector where I know the kids don’t know how to turn it on yet.
Echoing others that need this sooner rather than later. I love Infuse but am seriously considering ending my subscription if this is another year away.

I understand the need for this feature but don’t forget that if you let your subscription lapse and the subscription price goes up you’ll end up paying more. As long as you keep your sub current the price is locked in.

6 posts were split to a new topic: Multiple users on single Plex server
This is also a top priority for me.
If it is not included in updates before my pro subscription runs off I will most probably cancel my account and move to another app like Plex, which already supports multi-user.
Plex supports multiple users. I watch guy films and my wife watches - well, whatever she watches - Desperate Housewives or whatever… This is a critical feature for us as it allows us to separate our viewing experiences appropriately.
Does Infuse support this? If not is there any plan to? Without the multi-user support, Infuse is not usable by us and I have to assume there is a large number of users in the same situation.
Thanks!
Not yet but I moved your post to a currently running suggestion thread requesting this feature.

I use Infuse Pro with my Apple TV 4k and Jellyfin server, do you will add a feature to handle multiple user created on jellyfin? there is any solution to handle this?

Another major Infuse version without a major feature requested so long ago.
Apple introduced multi users in tvOS 13 and we are now on tvOS 18.
This was back in 2019 when we were still on Infuse 6. We are now on Infuse 8.
It is ridiculous how long it is taking to implement such a major feature requested by so many.
