What Am I Enjoying? Infuse!

Don’t worry — this isn’t a sponsorship or an ad or what-have-you. I just legit love this app.

Infuse is a video library/player app for a variety of platforms. Basically, you load up movies, TV shows, home videos, whatever — any sort of video content — on a network-connected drive and then you can watch that stuff through Infuse anywhere on your network.

Since there’s an AppleTV app, this means that I have access to the hundreds of DVDs I ripped and stashed on a self-made NAS-sort-of-thing (a Raspberry Pi with a hard drive and a network connection, basically) that lives out of the way in my basement. Every movie and TV show I own, along with home movies and such, all available on every device in the house…and, crucially, all of the TVs.

Infuse is free, but there are some additional features you can pay for. I haven’t bothered — the free version does everything I need and has done so for years.

I just love this app.
