I migrated to Jellyfin from Plex several months ago and I’ve been struggling to get a good experience on my my Apple TV which is where I watch most of my content. I’ve been using the native Swiftfin app and I’m sorry but it’s awful. Lots of serious usability issues and there hasn’t been a release in over 4 months. I can’t anymore with it.
Gave infuse a try and it seems a lot more polished but it’s a subscription model and I don’t do software subscriptions, especially for something that’s accessing my local data. Not opposed to buying outright but it’s a bit steep at $94. I’ll gladly spend that if it’s worth it, but has anyone noticed any serious issues with Infuse that should make me steer away?
It’s totally worth it. I’ve been using Infuse for a few years now and I use it daily on multiple devices (2 Apple TVs, iPhone, iPad and MacBook).
It plays everything reliably. They fix bugs quickly and make regular improvements. The only feature missing is transcoding (in case of bandwidth issues) support - at least on Plex - but since you play local I don’t think that’ll be an issue for you.
