Both for simplicity and portability, I am a very happy user of https://firecore.com/infuse.

I guess it's less full featured as Plex or Jellyfin (it still more than covers the bases for video: format support, different video/audio/subtitle tracks, tv series recognition, skip intros, Trakt.tv etc.); but then again all it requires is any online storage, and the Infuse app (either on iDevice or AppleTV).

Yeaah, second that! I use it on the AppleTV and across the rest of my devices! Works like a charm, and coupled with Tailscale I can access everything on my Nas everywhere :) I have it configured to use Jellyfin as the source, runing on said nas

You should try this: https://neptuneplayer.com/

Does it do bitstream DTS and DV on Apple TV? If so maybe I’ll have to try. Also am I going old or is the whole join our discord to see what it’s about/download is the new norm on the web? My click through rate on that is about 0.

Oh my, this immediately looks so much better UX-wise than Swiftfin!

Looks good...but having to join Discord to try it is one step too many, if I have to be honest.

It's still in beta unfortunately but this is Hacker News and it's okay to share software before it hits prod. People want to be ahead of the curve and it looks promising.

Absolutely, I never said it's not :) I'm just not a fan of the Discord distribution channel - but the reply above you said it's on AppleTV, and I might try that!

FYI: it is GA for Apple TV (so no Discord required) - it’s only iOS/iPad that’s still in public beta.

(Source: was in the Neptune tvOS beta, still am for iOS - it is a fun squad though)

Thanks for the heads up, I'll give it a try on the tv!
