There's locally stored music options, which you have with iTunes. I can easily convert my large files to much smaller files(Plex Sync) to be stored locally on a phone or iPad, which is great for the kids and not needing to have a WiFi connection to watch things remotely. Plex has recently added in it's own player, which is now allowing direct play to Apple devices without having to do on the fly transcoding. Add in the ability to watch and record local OTA channels with an HDHomerun and it starts checking more boxes for me. With Plex I can add content to a directory, it will download all the metadata, add it to the proper location and allow me to watch it on any device Apple or not. I chose Plex for ease of use and additional features available. As soon as the ATV 4 was announce and Plex had an app available I jumped all over it.
My original setup was using an AppleTV 3, using PlexConnet to hijack the trailers app to be able to watch locally stored content. I personally was looking for a one stop shop to drop content into, be able to watch it on the Apple ecosystem and not have to go back and re-encode a bunch of content. I think if I had spent the time to learn the software, curate my default settings and spend the time transcoding I would be in the same boat aka Team iTunes.
In the beginning I went down the road of iTunes and Handbrake, but didn't refine my settings as much as westrock2000 has. I believe a lot of it comes down to what folks have gotten used to.

I know we are talking about Infuse Pro here, but wanted to drop in my experience as a Plex fan. I also have Plex running on my Mac in order to feed our Roku TV's in the house as well as to watch movies away from home, and Plex is totally inferior to iTunes (in my experience.Plex fans feel free to rebut). The HTPC and other stuff will give you freedom to do whatever, but at the expense of not being as streamlined. But in order to do all that it does, you have to supply it with consistency. I then use Subler and combine the original video stream from the file and replace the original audio with the transcoded audio (a 2channel AAC stream and a 5.1 Dolby Digital stream). Again though, you will have to at the very least transcode the audio into 640Kb/s 5.1 Dolby Digital or you can keep E-AC3 if the file has it.which is rare.

You MUST curate your library.Īpple TV will play h265 4K content that you may find online. But you aren't going to be able to just dump whatever media you want into iTunes and it just work. So it's not an issue for me and I'm used to it. I have a collection of about 1400 movies on a iTunes server and have a pretty good work flow for ripping movies or sourcing online. I use Subler on a Mac to do this since it's specifically designed to do this job, not sure what a Windows equivalent would be. If you get movies from online sources than you will need to repackage the video from AVI to M4V. If you rip your own movies, you will want to use Handbrake.

Videos must be in MP4 format with either AAC stereo or Dolby Digital (or both). The interface is sooo smooth and responsive.īut if you aren't willing to use the ecosystem (like having an iTunes server) then you might not find it that enjoyable. Can airplay easily (like if you want to show someone a picture or YouTube video). Phones automatically trigger search boxes when you go to search. Apple TV is great if you have an Apple Ecosystem.
