Infuse, the popular iOS media streaming app from FireCore, was given a big update today in the form of version 2.3, which adds support for several new streaming services, gesture-driven playback controls, continuous playback mode, and more.

The biggest new feature in this update is support for UPNP/DLNA streaming, which allows Infuse to connect to XBMC, PS3 Media Server, Plex, Windows Media Center, and other similar services and stream content from them to your device.

A new playback control scheme has also been added, which enables users to pause, play, rewind, or fast-forward a video or adjust settings such as volume with a quick gesture. The final big addition to this update is a new continuous-playback mode. With this turned on, a new video will start as soon as the previous one has finished—perfect for binge-watching TV shows.

A few smallers changes have also been made, including interface tweaks across the app, improved display of folders with one movie, download progress indicators, the ability to manually add artwork for your videos, and a lot more, as listed below in the change notes.

You can get the 2.3 update to Infuse for free on the App Store. Some of the new features require an in-app purchase of Infuse Pro.

 

We’ve been hard at work over the past 2 months, and are proud to announce the release of Infuse 2.3 – one of our biggest updates ever!
