Interesting, I'm curious how it helps. Maybe with non-video content or something? So far Infuse seems to do everything for shows/movies with the sorting, categorizing, posters, descriptions, actor info, search, release dates, etc already so long as you point it to where the video files are and name them based on the TVDB naming. I even set it up so my parents TV has access to it and they use it more than Netflix now. I don't have any non-video content though, so I'm not sure whether Infuse covers that part well (or at all).
- bombcar 10mo agoI seem to recall the main issue was it finding new/moved/renamed content without forcing a full rescan (which would take forever).
- zamadatix 10mo agoAh, that makes sense. I only have just the media files (no metadata) stored flat in a single SSD based mount and the background autoscan seems to pick up changes/additions consistently for that snappy (especially since I only add new content but once a week or so) but if I were constantly adding things I wanted to watch on demand, used a more complicated directory structure, stored any metadata locally, had a bit more latency in the storage, or had multiple sources I'm sure that would turn into a bit of a sync mess real quick. I also found Infuse's scanning performance to be absolute dog shit over even clean 5 GHz Wi-Fi. I solved that with a wire, but it sounds like middleware would have skipped that problem as well.
