Setting up Infuse with Unraid

[BigC55]

I'm trying to "map" my unraid server media share to Infuse in order to play videos without using plex server.  Does anyone know how to "point" Infuse to my Unraid media folder.

 

Thanks.

What have you tried and what Apple device types are you using?    If you have multiple Apple devices have you set inFuse to sync its settings between them via iCloud.   There should be no problem doing this as I use inFuse from my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV all accessing the media off my Unraid server.

I'm trying to set it up on an iPad.  I see the Unraid SMB, however I can put in an IP address or anything, it shows as Unraid.local.  When I put in my logon info (user name/password) it tells me that an error occurred trying to connect.  Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

 

Thanks.

I've had random SMB issues like this before, especially dealing with specific hardware / software combos. Can you try to make another unraid user with read access to the media share?

I'm running Infuse on an Apple TV, several iPhones and my MacBook Air with no trouble and iCloud sync is not required.  Infuse has an internal option to directly add an PLEX library and not connect to it via SMB. When you choose that the Infuse application will look at your network and see the PLEX server and offer it to connect to.  I did once try to attach via SMB and it was strange where it would display double icon's for one movie but using the direct PLEX option works perfectly.  By using this option you can also change posters and backgrounds of movies and it changes them in the PLEX database just like PLEX itself does. As you can see from the image the SMB shares are seen but I don't use them. The reason I moved to Infuse and away from the PLEX client is because the PLEX client can't pass Dolby Atmos on an Apple TV but Infuse Pro does. The Roku PLEX client on my TCL smart TV does pass Atmos but the video quality in 4k is crappy, I hate Roku.
