Hello, still using your 5 pro app! Only one thing prevents me from buying 6… possibility to use it via LTE. It is impossible to direct play high bitrate movies even on some wifi… Now i see transcoding is planned, not in progress, not in dev… But isn’t it just a couple of commands you send to plex w…

This is now available in today’s 8.5 update. :slight_smile: [image] Infuse 8.5 - Smarter Streaming Releases We’re excited to announce that Infuse 8.5 is available today, bringing new streaming options, better media server support, and a handful of thoughtful r…

In practice, the mechanism may be more complex than it initially appears. For Jellyfin, Emby, and Plex, transcoding typically involves segmenting the video into smaller chunks, which are then delivered to the client over TLS. (I may not be entirely correct on the exact implementation details, but th…

i’m not sure that’s correct. in the case of jellyfin we’re talking about server side transcoding, not client side. so regardless of whether the stream received by Infuse is being direct played or transcoded the client is just receiving a video stream - it doesn’t know if i’s being transcoded or no…

I would suggest this app to all my family if it offered support for server side transcoding.

This says something: [image] :slight_smile: I’m with you CDubs… I’m with you.

lol… yeah I check back once and a while though it’s becoming less often.

Same.. I’m subscribed to this thread and check in when there are updates :blush:

Not sure how long ago I logged in, but I tend to only come back to check on this thread. This is the only missing feature that prevents Infuse becoming the only client I need. It’s frustrating to have had no engagement at all from the developers on this in the 6 years that this thread has been acti…

I will add my upvote here - not for client side transcoding, but supporting the streaming/transcoding endpoints of Jellyfin specifically. Makes no sense to have one set of clients for at home, and another when remote. Infuse works well at home, not at all remote. Native Jellyfin clients work well i…

It would be great if it’s get added. It would to only use Infuse as player (local ad remote). It will probably add more people to subcribe, like my family that are using the inferior Plex app to stream from my server

We wait for this feature to subscribe lifetime, and stop using other apps.
