We've had our nose to the grindstone over the past few weeks, and today we're pleased to finally share the fruits of our labor with you. Infuse 4.2 is a major update, and introduces a bunch of great features we know you're going to love! Read on for full details on what's new.
Library View (aka the new hotness)
Introducing our brand spankin’ new Library View which makes finding videos to watch quick and easy. Infuse will search deep within your folders to catalog every movie, TV show, and cat video it can find and group them all together in a slick new menu. Plus, with a set of all-new Smart Filters, you can browse by genre, rating, release date, age rating, and even get an overview of all unwatched or recently added items with just a few taps.
Favorites, tailored just for you
Not only is browsing super-easy when using Smart Filters, these can also be used to create Favorites that appear right on the Infuse home screen. Want quick access to kids movies? Done. How about unwatched TV shows? No problem. With just a few taps you can customize Infuse to ensure the content you want to enjoy is front and center for whenever you're ready to view it. Even better, adding custom artwork for your Favorites can now be done right from the Apple TV menus.
Trakt ratings sync
In addition to playback progress and watched history, trakt ratings now also stay in sync between all your devices. Rated items are now designated with a shiny set of distinctive orange stars that get updated from trakt automatically. Ratings can be easily posted to trakt from Infuse on iOS/tvOS or through trakt.tv.
Spotlight search
Now it's easy to quickly find videos on iOS while on the go. Videos selected from within Spotlight will instantly start playing, and Infuse will pick up right where you left off if you happened to already start that video on another device.
