Finally there is no change for the “Genre” screen.
So I hope that all these changes in the interface will not be too complex to implement because Infuse is really good news for macOS (after iOS and tvOS) !
This is the application that Apple should have developed instead of the ugly and bad TV app !
It is not by French speaking solidarity that I say that but your proposal is really Nice.
I love everything, I would just put the share button on right side… Just to be French and say something bad.
Great proposal and thanks for your time to propose it.
very good idea but I do not think that infuse does it even if, plex emby, squire proposes it (castings in photo, similar film, fanart not blurred), it will be more modern
Hi James,
Another suggestion I’ve forgotten yesterday : the possibility to scroll horizontally with trackpad on each line in the home screen…

Hi James,
I installed beta 5 and I am happy to see that we are approaching the version of my dreams.
To help you out, I worked on some new screen mockups.
On the Home Screen, reorganization of the side menu to eliminate redundancies.
Added functions to the horizontal toolbar. The idea of the Find menu to resume in the toolbar the main functions is borrowed from iOS is not such a good idea on macOS, because there is the side menu (it’s redundant). Finally, it’s not a good idea.
On this screen, modification of the side menu and the toolbar (add share menu, playlist, …).
The central screen is broken down into 8 areas:
the title
technical and genre distribution
technical characteristics
The synopsys
Action buttons (trailer, read add playlist, mark as seen)
The orange reading progress bar
The cast of actors
Films with these actors
So much for my new suggestions. I hope that many of these will see the light of day in the final version, as I plan to use Infuse as the player on my Mac, as well as on my TV and iPhone.
Regarding the metadata contents, we can imagine retrieving them from the Plex server (in case of sync with Plex, that’s my case!), or synchronizing on internet TMDB …
Regards,
Vincent
PS : Some of these remarks could be used to evolve the app on tvOS …
Hi,
I just downloaded Beta 7. I see and measure all the progress …
I still have some suggestions for the interface:
1 / allow the horizontal scroll for the first row
2 / transform the sidebar to give it more consistency. There are currently several duplicates and we do not understand the difference between Home and Bibliothèque…
These menus allow you to mark the media as seen / not seen, to rate them, to add them to a playlist, to add a file, or to launch the preferences of Infuse, or synchronize…
I hope that these proposals will be partly accepted or that they will serve as inspiration …
