Infuse 4.2 Released With New Library, Spotlight Search and Favorites
Just now, the Infuse team released version 4.2 of their iOS and tvOS apps and it comes with a bunch of new cool features!
The new Library is built on top of the deep folder scanning of the previous version. With all this data it’s able to filter your content and offer you Smart Filters to browse your library by genre, release date, age rating and best of all, a centralized view to see all newly added shows and unwatched episodes.
The team also added a Favorite feature that when added to shows or movies, places them right in front of you when you launch Infuse so you have access to your favorite show without the need to hunt down directories or multiple favorites.
Perhaps one of the most important change for people with multiple devices, the trakt data is now sync between your devices both ways. Therfore when an episode is viewed on your iPhone, when you open your Apple TV, it will be also marked as watched. This also covers the ratings you give shows and movies.
And on iOS, Infuse adds its data to Spotlight Search so when you swipe right and start typing the name of one of your show, it will appear and when taped it will start the playback right away.
There are also a number of smaller changes that are worth mentionning.
