Infuse Video Player Update Brings iCloud Drive Streaming, User Profiles, and More.

Infuse video player has been updated with iCloud Drive streaming support, user profiles on Apple TV, and AI upscaling features. The update also brings Metacritic ratings for content in your library. Infuse 8.2 is now available for download from the Infuse website, providing users with more options for streaming and organizing their video content.

Infuse, a popular video player for Apple platforms, has recently received a significant update with the release of version 8.2. This update introduces several new features that enhance the user experience, including iCloud Drive streaming support, user profiles on Apple TV, and AI upscaling capabilities. Additionally, the update brings Metacritic ratings for content in the user's library.

One of the standout features in Infuse 8.2 is the support for user profiles on Apple TV. This allows each family member to enjoy a personalized setup, complete with custom home screen layouts, network shares, watched history, ratings, parental controls, and Trakt accounts. Profiles can also be linked to individual iCloud accounts, making it easier to keep things in sync across devices. This feature is particularly timely as it aligns with the upcoming tvOS 26, which will introduce a streamlined experience with an optional profile selection prompt when the Apple TV wakes from sleep [1].

Another notable addition is the ability to stream content directly from iCloud Drive. This feature allows users to play videos without first downloading them to their device, thereby conserving local storage. However, it is important to note that Apple currently does not allow browsing iCloud Drive files on Apple TV. Instead, direct links to iCloud Drive files can be added to the 'Links' section in Infuse, making them accessible on other devices, including Apple TV [1].

Infuse 8.2 also introduces Metacritic ratings for movies and TV shows in the user's library. These ratings provide critical consensus from a diverse group of highly respected critics, offering users additional insight when choosing titles for movie night. This feature is available for all PRO users [2].

In terms of visual enhancements, the update includes an expanded set of AI upscaling features, including limited support for current Apple TV 4K models. These features leverage Apple’s hardware to deliver sharper, clearer images when playing lower-resolution videos on larger screens. The full suite of features requires an A16 chip or newer, with potential improvements expected with the next-generation Apple TV model [2].

Infuse 8.2 is now available for download from the Infuse website, providing users with more options for streaming and organizing their video content. The update is part of Infuse’s ongoing commitment to integrating exciting new features that align with upcoming Apple operating system updates [2].
