I can access my NAS based media by forwarding the SMB port (445) to my NAS in my router settings. Once you have done that then you can point inFuse at the external address of your router to access files on your NAS and it will functon just as it would on your local network. If you do not have a fixed external address for your router then you might need to look at using a dynamic DNS service (such as dyndns.org or something similar).
In terms of the ATV2, there is no concept of a ‘pro’ version of inFuse. There is merely the ATV Flash (black) product which include inFuse for the ATV2. This is a different (and more expensive) product to the one that runs on iPhones/iPads.
Same wish here, forwarded port 445 to my Synology NAS. Still can only enter it on my home wifi network. Other than that I can approach and open all items on the NAS, open and watch all movies on dsvideoon any network, but as it is ofcourse a far inferior player than infuse 2 I would like to do that with Infuse2. Love the app.
I think that your application can connect without that port. Like some kind of VPN or through a different port. So you think it is open. To be sure check the port here: http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and try to find out if your ISP blocks the port.
Has anyone had any issues streaming from an FTP share? It’ll browse and pickup the thumbnails fine but when playing back any content the following pops up “an error occurred loading this content”. Over samba it’s fine.

I simply use SFTP. At home, my file server runs Samba so I use SMB. But I use SSH to remote from outside, and since SFTP is essentially built-in to the SSH server, it’s very simple for me to just add a new share to Infuse for SFTP, and I don’t need to forward any additional ports beyond the standard port 22 TCP that SSH uses.
