I am waiting to see if the new player will improve anything, once available for everybody, but no HiRes audio is a no go to me. I tried few times to use Plex on my ATV but the experience was really much inferior. And then I use it if I’d like to watch something (ripped at 1080p otherwise forget it with my CPU) in my kitchen’s Fire TV. I use it mostly for automatically downloading the subtitles (via a plugin) since the connection in Infuse with OpenSubtitles was driving me mad in the past. Personally I have a Plex server alive in my MacBook Pro. I may have forgotten something, but those should be the most important for both. Skipping back and forth was usually immediate the few times I have run it in my Apple TV

It actually seems to perform better at streaming.

Compatibility with at most any TV Box or mobile device in the house.

Obviously Plex has its own merits as well:

The license works with all Apple devices for your Apple ID - Although I suppose the Plex pass does the same for all devices.

When a relevant bug is reported it gets fixed usually in the next release.

HiRes to LPCM audio support - Plex is stuck at DD+ I believe (and it had some horrible bugs in the past - scratching or no audio at all).

You can download the subtitles while watching

You can switch audio track and subtitles on the fly (but that must have been added in Plex new player I suppose)ģa.

You don’t need to run a second server as for Plex (especially useful if your library is stored in a NAS).

With Plex (in both Android TV and ATV) I spent hours if not days (in total) watching a spinning gear, eventually getting a transcoding (or else) error at the end.

It plays all HEVC 4K HDR files I give it in input (.mkv.

Well, there are various benefits using Infuse:

So what would the benefits of running Infuse instead of Plex on the Apple TV 4K
