The first major update for Infuse 4 has arrived! We didn't cut any corners here, and worked hard to add ton of great new things that we think you are going to love, including watched icons, dark mode, HD audio, background fetching, and much, much more. Read on for full details on what's new.
Pick up where you left off
With our all-new watched indicators finding something new to watch has never been easier. Both new and in-progress videos will have a colorful orange banner overlayed on top of the poster, with a small icon to indicate the status. Watched status icons are also visible on the video details page.
Turn down the lights
An all-new dark mode inspired by the iOS version is now available for tvOS. Dark room viewing has never been better!
Now playing: 24-bit HD audio
Hear every detail, and enjoy up to 7.1 channels of 24-bit lossless HD audio (DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD). HD audio provides a richer sound with much greater depth and dynamic range, and is the same audio film producers hear before a movie leaves the studio. Infuse will send HD audio to an AV receiver as uncompressed, multi-channel LPCM for the best possible experience. Full details on how the new options work can be found here.
Ready when you are
Now whenever you open Infuse it will automatically start scanning your favorites for new files, and work to pull down metadata and artwork for you in the background. This means your content will be ready and waiting whenever you are ready to enjoy it!
