Some pretty amazing new things were announced today in Cupertino - Apple TV 4K, iPhone 8, iPhone X, and more! These new devices look fantastic, and we can't wait to get our hands on them to see what they can really do.

So what's new?

Among other things, the new Apple TV 4K and iPhone X will both support 4K resolution, HEVC video, High Dynamic Range (HDR) and Dolby Vision.

According to Apple...

“4K gives you a crisper picture using four times more pixels than standard HD. High Dynamic Range (HDR) delivers brighter, more realistic colors and greater detail. From the hottest new movie to your favorite TV show, everything is more lifelike than ever.”

It's been a busy summer so far here at Firecore HQ, and today we're proud to announce Infuse is graduating to version 5.5 and getting some pretty fantastic new features.

Drumroll please...

All-new Library (aka, the new-new hotness)

Last year we introduced our new Library option on Apple TV, and today we're making it available for iOS! Library is an awesome new way to browse, search, and discover your content. Items are automatically grouped into categories, and the Up Next list is prominently displayed on the new home screen - making it easy to find something new and fresh to start watching.

Today we're happy to release Infuse 5.4!

This update includes a mountain of changes for subtitles, some nice performance improvements for 10-bit videos, and many other really great things. The full story on what's new is below.

All-new subtitles engine

Subtitles have been entirely revamped, and we've made a ton of improvements in many areas. The result is an awesome new implementation that supports many more formats - including subtitles with fancy styling and animation effects (*pause for karaoke fans to rejoice*). Other changes include new color options, and support for subtitles in 3D videos (SBS & TAB).

Infuse 5.3 is here, and it's our biggest update of the year! Ok, maybe that's not saying much since 2017 still has a ways to go - but this update includes our awesome new playback core, parental controls, support for more formats, and a bunch of other great improvements which make it pretty amazing.

Here's all the deets on what's new...

New, ultra-high-performance playback core

The new, revamped Infuse playback core is now faster and better than ever before. We started at the very foundation, and worked our way through the entire playback pipeline, improving and optimizing almost everything along the way to deliver exceptional performance for nearly every video type.

Happy 2017! Today we're pleased to announce the first of many updates coming this year. 5.2 features some really great things, including support for more video types, iOS search, NFS streaming, better playback, and much, much more.

Here's the full scoop on everything that's new.

ISO, VIDEO_TS, and .dvdmedia - oh my!

DVD file support has been one of the top feature requests since we launched Infuse for Apple TV in late 2015. Now you can dust off that pile of old DVD backups and let Infuse work its magic to turn them into the makings of a great movie night. Just browse, play, and enjoy.

The latest version of Infuse for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV is here, and it brings with it some pretty awesome things we think you're going to love. Here's a quick rundown of what's new...

Movie collections

Infuse now automagically tidies up your Library by grouping sequels into collections. Can't remember the name of the second Fast and Furious movie, or the third Bond film with Sean Connery? Wonder no more - just search or browse for a collection and all titles will be grouped together and ordered by their release date. Boom! Collections are available in all existing Library categories, or through the new dedicated Collections section - which may come in handy if you're looking for a full series to binge on.

Infuse 5 is here! It's been many months in the making, and is the most ambitious update we've ever had. It has tons of new features, some really great playback improvements, and a whole host of thoughtful little changes to make your life better.

New home screen with 'Up Next' list

New for Apple TV is an awesome way to find something great to watch. The new Up Next list is made up of two sections - the first will show the items you're currently watching (in progress) and the second will show items that have been recently added.

The latest version of Infuse for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV is here and contains a number of things that we think you're really going to enjoy! :)

All-new list view

We've added a slick new list view option that provides quick access to video artwork and details. It has all the same great details as the standard poster view, and should allow you to feel right at home when you start using it. List View can be enabled in Infuse > Settings.

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.

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.
