Well, the same applies to granting access to your Plex, Emby or Jellyfin server with illegally obtained content with someone. Firecore is not liable for how people use their product, it’s up to the customer to use their product responsibly.
The thing with the products you described is that sharing is done from the server which is not an App Store download (the client is but it doesn’t facilitate the sharing). I can see apple not liking apps on its store that directly share video content. Similar to how apple doesn’t allow torrent clients (or clients that connect to a torrent server) on the appstore
I don’t think private sharing of copyrighted material violates any copyright laws. Like showing your mom a movie you purchased.
That’s completely dependent on one’s legal jurisdiction.
In the US, transmitting copyrighted material you don’t own the copyright to, nor a license to transmit, most assuredly is against the law.
My stolen car doesn’t become any more or less stolen if I let a friend ride shotgun.
The US also likes to argue the definition of private. Not much of anything is private anymore. For example: Mail is still private. Email is not. $5 to whoever can tell me why.
Hey,
It seems to be a popular service generally supported by browser add-on or other hacky methods; but wondered if it would be possible to support natively?
I could see iCloud being a possibility - though unsure how latency stable iCloud updates are for this kind of thing.
I realise the only reliable way of doing this may be you guys running a webservice, which would eat into funds, perhaps additional tier and/or perk for lifetime members?
Alternatively, self-hosting could be another way to do it.
Anyway, in short, multiple clients able to play the same content in-sync (1s or less); with perhaps the ability for one/many to control play/pause.
Cheers
This is the only downside of Infuse. Everything else is best among all but this feature is a must.
I just cancelled my plan just because this feature is not there.
As soon as it drops, i’ll come back!
Good luck then. I hope you realize such a feature, with each user having their own different library, would be vastly different from, and more complex, than SharePlay for a streaming service with a central library shared by all users.
Nah I was just playing, changed my mind.
Infuse gives more quality with audio and video than the jellyfin web interface.
Anyways, how do i join/get beta program?
Hey guys I know this has been suggest years ago but I’m putting it back in.
One of the great joys is watching shows together and in the Apple. Vision Pro this has been bringing people together and apps that are supporting SharePlay is killing it people are not using apps that don’t support it becasue things have become more social
So again I ask why hasn’t SharePlay been incorporated into Infuse.
Infuse is the best video app on the Apple Eco system but for some reason this keeps getting pushed away. I would like to know why… thank you
Lifetime Pro Infuse sere here
I’m surprised this still isn’t a feature in the new Infuse 8
My wife and I both travel a lot separately for work, province to province within Canada. Would absolutely love a ‘Watch Together’ or ‘SharePlay’ sort of feature.
The Plex app itself has it incorporated but we both don’t like the plex app much.
So please, incorporate user accounts with this feature, it’d be awesome!
With Plex discontinuing Watch Together in their upcoming “experience” this would be a much appreciated feature to be implemented in a future Infuse version. The only time I resort to the buggy mess that is the tvOS Plex app over Infuse is when watching TV shows with a friend.
Doesn’t necessarily have to be Plex. Jellyfin or some sort of native Infuse implementation would be great too.
This would be great. 
Adding a comment here for this too – i’d love to see it.

Bump.
Synced playback is currently the #1 most glaring omission from Infuse, by far. If I could only ask for one feature to be added, it would be that.
I am probably in the minority here and we have a household with two Apple vision pros but it would be amazing if the team at Infuse could enable a SharePlay facility. The Theatre app has as it so it is possible.
Many thanks 
I moved your post to an already running suggestion for this feature.

I would like to add that this feature is currently compatible with the Vision Pro. Spatial Sharing (Share apps and experiences with people nearby on Apple Vision Pro - Apple Support) enables this functionality, but it does not work in immersive environments.
