MC for AppleTV

<< < (2/3) > >>

tyler69:
Thanks Jim. So I read "there will be no MC AppleTV", correct?

BartMan01:
Nothing is keeping MC off of AppleTV other than the lack of an app for it. It is not 'locked down' at all, someone just needs to write the app for it and it doesn't have to be JRiver. A single app would work with AppleTV, iPhone, and iPad and if written properly could cache content offline as well.

Manfred:
I totally agree with BartMan01 comment. Infuse App is an example to get it done to a certain extend.

I have the Apple TV 4K and I have also the Infuse App and integrated it with my MC based media server. I have not spend much effort and time in optimizing Infuse.

I have also parallel to the ATV an MC based Video Renderer in my Living room. Currently the ATV would not replace my MC based video renderer (Audio is played directly from MC server via Devialet AIR to my Devialet). What are the key differences:

- 29i BD mkv content is difficult to play through the ATV (the picture is kind of nervous) - and I have plenty of 29i content
- in all music concerts (29i content) I have, the movement of actors is significant slowed down in ATV compared to RO HQ (simply perfect)
- 23p works
- mp4 is also not a problem for movies
- a key disadvantage of using the ATV is that audio has to go through HDMI (AQ Carbon) to the TV and then via optical to my Devialet -> the sound quality of using MC as a video renderer and using Devialet Air as audio protocol is so much better regarding sound quality (richness, details, 3D dimension)
- it is not transparent in ATV which bit depth and sample frequency are processed
- the views concept in MC is much, much better then the folder concept used by Infuse
- The ATV UI with the remote is from a UX PoV top notch (also compared to my LG SMART TV) - I use the amazon prime app only from my ATV
- ATV has no DSP

-> but the ATV is not so far away compared to my MC based video renderer! And the video renderer cost 4 x the price of the ATV.

How did you integrate Infuse with MC?

i have used infuse as well.   it can only see MC via DLNA, of which there are numerous solutions for any iDevice.   that is the inly integration such as it is with MC

outside of that, infuse will mount smb shares so you could also just use the same shares you likely have set up for MC.

one drawback is that  infuse is video only.  on the plus side, it supports about every format you can throw at it even including dts-ma, truehd, mkv, mp4, and so on...

it will even read bluray folder rips and play the longest title or give you title menus, but not bluray menus sadly....
