Infuse 2 Fully Redesigned for iOS 7 - Now Available

[firecore]

Infuse 2 for iOS has been redesigned from top to bottom for iOS 7, and now features the ability to stream from other devices such as a Mac, PC or network drive.

Infuse 2 is free
We think Infuse 2 is amazing, and want to allow as many people as possible to enjoy it...so we've made Infuse 2 a FREE app. With the free version you can play everything the normal iOS player can, plus use additional features like drag-and-drop browser uploads, on-the-fly subtitle downloads, trakt scrobbling, and more. No ads, no gimmicks...just a great free app.

Infuse Pro
For those looking to get the most from their videos, we're introducing a new premium option dubbed Infuse Pro. Infuse Pro adds the ability to play additional video formats, stream from network devices, enable multi-format AirPlay and much, much more.

Infuse Pro is one-time In-App purchase, and is now available at an introductory price of $4.99. However as a way of saying thanks, Infuse Pro is a FREE upgrade for those who purchased Infuse 1.5 or earlier.

It's a nice app but badly needs a folder capability to organise videos.

It's a nice app but badly needs a folder capability to organise videos.

Speaking of this, any plans to introduce for example filename-based folder listing? With TV series, I'd prefer a way to see the season / series number right in the list, without my having to hunt down the particular file by tapping all the candidates to see their detailed view, including the filename.

Also, is it possible to make the new app compatible with OS versions prior to iOS7? 1.5 works great on iOS6 WRT for example native AirPlay playback and will strongly recommend that version to be run on old OS'es - nevetrheless, are you using iOS7+ only APIs in the new version, which would make it impossible to make it more compatible with prev. OS versions?

BTW, I'd too prefer folders...

One thing we are working on is a list view option, which could be selected in place of the poster view. I think this might help achieve what you're after.

Anything is possible, but porting iOS 7 specific changes to older versions is much easier said than done. It's not out of the question entirely yet, but probably not very likely.

Planned for an upcoming version.

I meant mostly new functionality (additional streaming and stuff), not necessarily the iOS7-like "clean" view.

We'd have to look into this. As far as I know, Apple requires the app to match the submitted screenshots, so I'm not sure we'd be able to have 2 different designs depending on the iOS version.

BTW, many other apps use iOS7 look-and-feel on earlier platforms; e.g., the new versions of AVPlayerHD.

I haven't played with converting my apps to the new look-and-feel yet so I don't really know about Apple's stance in this regard.

Right...it's not entirely out of the question, but since Infuse 2 was a total redesign it would have just pushed the release back substantially had we chosen to add support for older versions from the start.

Hey,

Infuse 2 looks really cool, I just have one problem. IT policies at work prohibit me from purchasing IAPs, so I can't upgrade to pro on my work-issued device even though I'm allowed to purchase 3rd party apps for personal use. Any plans to roll out a separate "Infuse Pro" paid app on the App Store? Thanks.

Hmm, not sure of a good way around that, and I don't think we're planning to release a separate Pro version. Sorry.

Will Infuse 2 Pro automatically deinterlace 1080i content? Also, can it Airplay a 1080i mpeg2 .ts file?

Thanks!

Not at this time. Sorry.
