I was looking for an alternative media player on my Apple TV for the Computers app so I would not have to have my laptop on and open all the time. So I installed the latest version of Infuse. However I'm having some trouble figuring out how to make this thing work the way I think it ought to.
The two biggest problems I'm having are the conflict between embedded and downloaded metadata, and getting Infuse to put TV Shows into the actual TV Show category.
The TV shows I've got ripped are all from DVDs I own, and I spent hours meticulously making sure all the metadata was correct. However, Infuse, when it scans the folders I add invariably puts the TV Shows in the Other category in Libraries. It also doesn't read all the embedded metadata, which is odd to me. The same for Movies.
I have tried various combos of allowing downloading metadata and reading metadata but nothing really works right for me. I've been able to get the metadata the way I want it by using .xml files for movies, but that method doesn't seem to work for TV Shows.
Anywhoo, I would appreciate an hints, tips and best practices from the community.
TIA
