A few hours later I come back and I enter Infuse and get “An Error Occurred.” I hit Menu and have to go up to Comedies again. Then I click the Home button and go to Apple TV’s main page. I can be in /Library/Videos/TVShows/Comedies/TheRedGreenShow and I stop watching videos with Menu. There is one other issue and I can put that in another topic, but since I wonder if this is related to caching, I think it could be related. If I start counting seconds (1001, 1002…), I can get to 30 from my first click until I can watch the show. I FINALLY get to the episode and can watch it. I’m in the 2nd season, so as I navigate down through about 30 episodes to get to my current one, I have to deal with Infuse freezing up 2-3 times as I navigate down the list. (Note above - while I haven’t timed it, I can do a fair amount while waiting for that folder to load.) Now I’m FINALLY looking at the episode list for this show. Sometimes I wait there as long as I wait for the SF&F folder to load. I start navigating down the list and have to deal with 2-3 freeze-ups for anywhere from 3-6 seconds before I get down to the Space1999 folder. Then my 3 folders (Comedy, Drama, SF&F) load. I navigate down, within that folder to TVShows and click on it and wait. Due to Infuse’s issue of losing its place in the Samba share directory structure, I may go to Infuse and find it’s in /Library/Video. That’s 48 episodes, so it’s not like I’m trying to load every episode of The Simpsons. Right now I have been rewatching Space: 1999. I can go into a folder to try to find a particular episode of a show and, with fewer than 50 episodes, it can still take a long time with the spinning circle, before I can do anything else. I can press “Play” on a folder and it can delay various lengths of times before I get a menu. I can click on a folder, then open a desk drawer, pull out a bag of pistachios, reach over and get two bowls, put them near me, and pour nuts into one and start eating them, all while waiting on Infuse. This delay has gotten so long that once I see it, I shift to something else while waiting. I have had times where I can click on a folder, get the rotating grey circle/wheel going around. Sometimes this is only a folder with subfolders, sometimes it’s a folder with video files. The second type of delay gets longer and longer and I’m wondering if there’s a caching issue or if I have too many shows with metadata on my drive. These delays are the shorter kind, but can last up to 10 seconds and, in going through a list of a couple dozen folders, it can do this several times. I’ll use my Apple remote and start moving down the list of episodes and Infuse will just stop and freeze. For instance, I’d go into Comedies and I have at least a couple dozen folders in there. The first type of delay that showed up was just freezing during movement and selection of folders and files. I do have several terabytes of files, plus, under /Library/Audio, a lot of old time radio shows and music files in ALAC.įor a long time I didn’t have any issues at all, but now I’m dealing with two kinds of delays that are getting longer and longer, to the point where Infuse is almost unusable. So, mainly, I’m using /Library/Video/TVShows for everything at this point. ±->(lots of folders with an entire series of episodes in each folder) (I’m in a rural area, so I don’t have normal internet and am trying to reduce my bandwidth usage in whatever ways I can.) My share has a structure like this: My media server runs on Debian Linux and I access it as a Samba share (although I do have MiniDLA running on it, but never seem to access it that way). (Also, possibly related, is that Infuse loses its place on a Samba Share - wondering if it’s all tied into caching or something similar.) ![]() I’m having severe delays and freezing issues. The suggestion was to update to Infuse Pro 6.5. I wrote in with this problem and, at the time, had not checked my version. I’m using Infuse Pro 6.5.8 (3407) on Apple TV.
