  Please make PiP better!

  First off, I love this app and have been using it for forever. It’s my favorite media player by far. So thanks for the years of great product y’all. That said, I use PiP more than I thought I would but it doesn’t work very well. You can’t skip back and forward like you can with other apps’ PiP, it crashes a lot, and sometimes the button to initiate PiP mode just disappears on me and I have to force quit the app multiple times to get it back. Also, other apps don’t even make you press a button, it just turns into PiP when you change windows. Infuse has the best video controls of any video viewer by far. I often mention it as an example of excellent UX—I don’t understand why everyone hasn’t ripped you guys off. Netflix added the brightness slider recently, but y’all’s is still better. I just wish that same level of dedication were applied to this feature.

  So far…the best media player

  I will start by saying I wasn’t to thrilled about the subscription to enable certain features in the app. I like to pay once and be done, plus I have tons of other subscriptions and now I have another. However, I must admit once I really dove into this app and saw everything it can do I feeling like this app will be worth every cent every time I pay the renewal. The user interface is THE BEST I have ever seen. The metadata fetch is 97% spot on. Please ad a way to rename embedded metadata. The way it groups the tv show episodes under one cover and numbers each episode is simply amazing. I just wish the app had a built in web browser so I can access my sites to download files. I can’t get the TV app version to work with the iPad app. It would be nice to just quickly access my content through there instead of the iPad. Not sure what the issue is at this time.

  Almost perfect

  **update** I recently discovered while playing some files from my iPhone to TV the audio slowly gets out of sync. Stopping the video and starting again resets it but it will slowly go out of sync again. I moved the problem files to VLC and it played them with no issues so it’s definitely an in app issue. Love this app. Love the look the layout and the features. Especially the PiP support. Getting a large video library setup is a pain tho. And some metadata wasn’t updating properly. Some missing cover art as well. One complaint is I hate needing to pay a monthly subscription. Give me a one time purchase and this app would be perfect. Additionally you’d better hope you don’t need to contact customer service. I sent them an email about the audio sync issues and it took nearly a month for them to reply. And it was basically a canned response saying I should update the app and my iOS. Completely unhelpful 🙄

  Great player, missing a basic feature

  I use an iPad Pro 99% of the time. I download videos from various sources but they’re rarely ever major films or tv shows. I’d really like the ability to edit metadata myself so I can clean up my library. While there’s a button that says “edit metadata”, all it really is is a search field for check a database. If your file isn’t on there, well, you get to have crappy cover art and crappy filenames. I thought that with the addition of Files app support I could use the method for metadata that they recommend on their website, but that doesn’t work on an iPad for some reason. I really don’t see why it’s so difficult to allow me to edit all the data for the file including the cover art on my iPad Pro. Seems really silly. I paid for a subscription for 2 years now thinking they’re add it, but nope. Still looking at a messy library on my iPad. As a player, I love it. Probably the best I’ve used. I’m just sick of waiting for a feature that doesn’t seem like it’s going to be added.

  What my NAS library is missing

  This app is almost everything you could want for an iOS based device video player. It gives you a nice “streaming service” style interface with excellent metadata lookup capabilities. On mobile devices it features a pop-out player so you can watch while doing other things, and file download to play videos later. I love it. Totally worth what they ask for a lifetime license, and reasonable subscription license costs. One feature I wish they would add is the ability to update the actual file’s metadata (if the container type supports tags) for a show, season, or individual video. If you needed to reload your library or moved things it would make getting your metadata loaded much faster. Also, I just like having things complete. Maybe there is a way to do this and I haven’t found it yet.
