Really wish there was a way to shuffle all tv shows like native plex

Shuffle/loop is something we hope to look at for a future update.

In your case, would you like to shuffle episodes in a series, episodes in a season, play a random episode of any series...or all of the above?

All of the above to be honest.

I have little kids, and have about 10 different series of shows for them containing 300+ episodes, in native plex you can view “all” and then “shuffle”. Or you can open a particular show and shuffle episodes. Same with movies, you can shuffle all movie files so that it just continuously plays.

It happens randomly but I would open the app and none of my movies show in the library and I would have to refresh whole library. Anyone else having this issue?

Happened to me twice in the last fortnight. I put it down to being on beta software but maybe not.

The most likely cause of this is your device is running low on storage space, and tvOS is ‘helping’ by clearing up some disk space for other apps. We see this sometimes when a lot of apps are installed, or if the apps you are using are caching a lot of data (IPTV apps, games, etc...).

One of the big things we're working on for Infuse 6 is an all-new iCloud implementation which will greatly assist in cases where the Apple TV does remove Infuse data, as Infuse will be able to quickly download this info from iCloud instead of having to scan all your files again.

We expect to have Infuse 6 available in early 2019, so please keep an eye out for updates. In the meantime, you may look at removing apps you don't find yourself using, to avoid tvOS from having to clear out your data quite as often.

I guess it’s possible. I downloaded an app which checks storage and I’m sitting at just over 9gb free though. I’m on the beta so just put it down to glitches with that.

Hi, As you are working on a shuffle mode, would it be possible to perhaps look at adding a music video section? Would be great to have a library of music videos and press shuffle...

Great program

I've been uploading videos to Google Drive and streaming from there. It works, although the initial directory scan is rather slow. I'm having issues with sorting though. List view works as it should, but thumbnail/cover art view splurges files into one massive unsorted list. It's an odd one, as I have some of my directory folders as I should, but most are exploded into the root.

The new 5.9.2 release has a number of speed improvements for Google Drive, so you may try updating if you haven't already.

With regard to sorting, it may be best to drop us a note with a few more details about what you are seeing so we can help troubleshoot further. https://firecore.com/contact

Some movies will stop and get an error randomly then when I go back to the main menu and play them again they work. Any reason for the random errors?

A great app and I hate to keep asking but is there any update on Atmos support or are Apple keeping it locked down?
