It is just incredible how good @infuse is for local network media playback. Highly recommended.
@mattiem Insightful question! Probably not much more if I stop and think about it… I like the centralized metadata Plex gives me, and it actually precedes Infuse for me so I went straight for the integration, and occasionally I still need Plex to transcode to a TV without a LAN port nearby (though transcoding requires the Plex app, which is garbage).
Most likely I’d be just fine doing the same thing you’re doing
