Multiple versions of a movie

@james
I know this thread has been directed to another thread but this one is specifically for those of us who do not use Plex and have no plan of implementing a Plex server and want the option to select individual versions of shows we have multiple different copies of solely with Infuse.

This thread was labeled as pending but lost that when the version selection for Plex users was implemented. Can we get back on the board as least?

Ditto

Thanks for representing the Infuse users who don’t wish to use Plex with this feature request NC Bullseye

Hello,
I’m testing the Google drive integration where i have a folder for the regular resolution and an other for 4K. In the Movies view, i have multiple version for a same movie displayed. Is there some limitation for cloud storage ?

Thanks

Seeing multiples of the same movie is the limitation of Infuse, not the cloud service. This thread is suggesting that a movie only be shown once even with multiple copies at different resolutions or versions with the ability to have a choice of which resolution or version to show when selected to play.

Please do the +1 on the first post in the thread referenced in post one of this thread.

Hey NC Bullseye,
I noticed that around a month ago you asked a question on the forum as to what Firecore’s plans were for this feature given that it was planned, tagged as pending and then mysteriously dropped.
I also noticed that your question and that entire thread was deleted. Given that multiple versions is not even represented in the upcoming features but was planned and confirmed by Firecore, was it unreasonable to ask what happened?

Not unreasonable at all. That particular feature turned out to be far more involved for the Plex version than they had anticipated and the non plex version would be even more complicated so the resources are being directed to other more pressing issues for now. It’s still on their radar so We can keep on asking for others to up vote the first post in the thread to move it up the list.

It would be nice if v6 of Infuse had this planned for its upcoming features list :slight_smile:

This would be good for multi servers also to avoid having duplicate entries within the library

+1

Between this thread and the other thread there are clearly a lot of people who are hanging out for this feature – more than some of the other features that have been implemented or are on the roadmap. For something that was raised almost 2 years ago and announced for 5.7.4 it’s frustrating that this still isn’t even on the roadmap anymore. James, can we please have an update on this feature?

+1

Please add this feature onto the backlog for upcoming enhancements. Many users are looking for this capability without having to use a Plex Server.

As much as I appreciate (and agree with) your support on this, Firecore has modified the first post requesting that support for this be voiced in the link added to the first post under the Mod edit. This is to make it easier to tally support in one place instead of trying to combine multiple threads and then remove duplicate up votes.

Now when ever you feel you want to reiterate your support that’s probably the best place to do that. :wink:

I truly do appreciate the support. Thank you!

I have issues with a great Collections feature. Sometimes different versions of the same movie (ie. open matte in 1080p and regular in 4k) are wrapped in the Collection sometimes don’t.
For example Doctor Strange files wrapped fine while Fury didn’t with the same naming patterns.
Metadata seems to work fine as I see while “editing” it, there is a correct cover on both.

Can I fix it on my side somehow (naming pattern?) or how should I report? Thanks!

P.S. Movies are stored on Apple TC A1470, ATV 4K (2021), Infuse Pro.

Just wanted to pull up this topic: trying to do some library cleanup I realized I have several cases where I have either multiple version based on quality (i.e. 4K and 1080) or multiple version based on different cut/edition. There should be a way to group them together and display them as one single entry in the library with the possibility to play the version you want.

I have both 1080 and 2160 Apple TVs in my house, as such, I have copies of the same movie to play on both types for TVs. It would be nice to be able to have these combined in the movie listings so I don’t have duplicates show up. And id like to be able to tell which is which without leaving on filenames to distinguish. (I also have some very old 480p/720p files that it would be nice to be able to distinguish resolution without a folder structure to accommodate).

I’m thinking of an auto select for the video when playing, but also a selection choice too. Kind of like how youtube chooses the best resolution based on streaming/but allows you to override that choice if you want.

+1 would love this

Many of the movies in my library are available in 4k remux and 1080p. In home theater mode, I usually play the 4k remux version, but when I’m using cellular data, I choose to play the 1080p version. But in infuse, this produces a poster for both.

Is it possible to add a resolution selection feature like the emby client?
