    The thing I liked about Plex over Jellyfin (or even Infuse) on AppleTV was the layout decisions they made that promoted a sense of place. From any screen, I know exactly where I am, and can jump to the right to scroll big libraries alphabetically, or jump left to move to a different folder. It makes perfect sense to my brain in a way other design choices do not. These changes make me a bit nervous.

    One tip I’d offer is that for Infuse, pointing it to the raw NAS media folder is annoying as AppleTV doesn’t protect local image caches from being purged so Infuse has to recreate all the thumbnails from time to time and it is dog slow.

    Instead, you can point Infuse at your Plex library file directly and all your artwork etc will persist instead of needing to be regenerated every so often.
