FireCore Releases Infuse 7.5 Media Player for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV

FireCore has announced the release of Infuse 7.5 for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. This update brings access to over 250,000 movie and TV show trailers, a new Smart Groups feature, expanded support for Dolby Vision, and more.

Play trailers for movies and shows
Video trailers have arrived! You can now access a massive catalog of 250,000+ movie and TV show trailers and stream them with a simple tap directly within the app. Trailers are a great way to preview videos in your library for yourself or friends and family, allowing everyone to get a quick overview of the movie to see if it's the right vibe. Trailers are available to all current Pro subscribers at no additional cost.




Organize movies into Smart Groups
The new Smart Groups feature is a great way to group different versions of the same title together in your Library. This could be things like different resolutions (1080p, 4K etc...), different releases (Director's Cut, Theatrical Cut, etc...), videos spread across multiple files/discs (Part 1, Part 2, etc...), duplicates of the same file you have stored in different locations, or any combination of these you happen to have. When multiple versions are present, Infuse will automatically add tags for each — and you can add your own custom tags, if you wish.



Even more Dolby Vision
Dolby Vision comes in many different flavors, and today we're adding expanded support for Dolby Vision Profile 8. Profile 8 is a unique format, as it includes both a Dolby Vision layer and an HDR layer. It has been used by Apple for many of their screensaver videos, and now more of these videos can be played natively in Infuse in full Dolby Vision. By default, the best video playback option will automatically be selected based on the video file and the device you are using, and you can change how this works by adjusting the Extended Dolby Vision option found in Infuse > Settings > Playback.




Playback core improvements
Our primary goal with Infuse has always been to deliver excellent picture and sound when you press play — with every single video. In this update, we've revamped a hefty chunk of the playback internals, and modernized a number of areas to allow us to continue providing unparalleled playback performance and accuracy across all Apple platforms. These changes also include improved error correction for files which may be a little bit wonky (due to encoding and/or mastering issues) allowing these to now play beautifully — just like you'd expect.
