Infuse 8.5 - Smarter Streaming
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 refinements to iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, and Vision Pro. This release introduces transcoding options for Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin, along with improved search results, media server updates, and enhancements to WebDAV and media server connections. Together, these updates make Infuse even more flexible, reliable, and enjoyable to use with all your favorite videos. Transcoding options for Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin Infuse has long been known for its ability to directly play almost any video format, but there are times when streaming the original file isn’t ideal—especially when watching remotely, using a slower connection, or playing higher-bitrate videos away from home. With Infuse 8.5, new transcoding options are available for Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin. These options allow Infuse to request an optimized stream from your media server when needed, helping reduce buffering and improve playback reliability when bandwidth is limited. Direct Play remains the best option whenever possible, but these new controls provide added flexibility when a smaller, server-optimized stream makes more sense.
