Is there a benefit to using Infuse over NFS vs Infuse connecting to Plex? Wouldn't you lose Plex's ability to customize everything (naming, album art, collections, watchlist), not to mention syncing with other non Apple devices in the house.
The title of the movie is in the file name, I search what I want to watch and it comes up, what more would customization do for me? Sounds like a time sink.
I never had any desire to sync with a device. The movies are from the internet. I don’t want to deal with any hardware uptime or compatibility issues. When I see friends use each other’s Plex servers, half of the time the movie doesn’t play properly because it’s transcoding or something and they spend several minutes fiddling with settings (sometimes not succeeding). Never had this problem streaming from Google Drive with Infuse.
Infuse have similar customization, you mainly loose sync to nonapple devices and you cant do transcoding for slow internet connections. The advantage is that you dont need something that can host plex, just a dumb fileshare (or a cloud drive like icloud or google drive). Many routers can fx do the fileshare for you, so you dont need a server to host on.
