Have you tried Infuse as the playback app on AppleTV?

It’s one of the few apps I’m happy to pay the subscription cost for. Well worth it for a well made AP.

Not trying to make this sound like an ad. It’s just a legit good app.



I use it too and also pay the subscription. Though I only connect to a local synology SMB share with it. Am I missing out by not running jellyfin and hooking up Infuse to that?

Infuse is generally really good, but I wish it had a way to expose slightly more power user features such as: viewing detailed file info (codecs, resolutions, audio-video bitrates, stream info for all streams), ways to create arbitrary dynamic playlists/folders based on conditions, and viewing current stream debug info (MB/s, cache fill, ram usage, disk usage etc). Any debug info would be helpful when some files seem to kinda work but then crash Infuse. For example some 4k/6k/8k ProRes content at around 800Mb/s. Network/NAS isn’t the issue as it’s hardwired 1Gb/s. So then I don’t even know if some specific variation of ProRes (or every) is just unsupported on the appleTV and it goes into software decoding, or whether the AppleTV is oom-ing, or what exactly is wrong.
