A faster personal streaming library built for Infuse on Apple TV.
No NAS. No shared servers. Just a clean WebDAV backend optimized for high-bitrate playback.
Most shared streaming libraries weren’t designed for Infuse
If you’ve used Infuse with large shared catalogs, you’ve probably felt these pain points.
Large catalogs slow Infuse updates.
Providers fail under load.
Hard to find favorites fast.
Your library stays small and fast by design
Instead of exposing a massive shared catalog, the system builds a lightweight personal library based on what you select. This keeps scanning fast and navigation responsive inside Infuse.
Personal selection
You decide what shows up. The backend generates a clean folder tree tailored for quick Infuse navigation.
Player-first constraints
Design choices prioritize predictable scanning behavior and a responsive browsing experience on Apple TV.
Infuse optimization, not generic WebDAV
The goal is a backend that feels like a NAS replacement—without running a NAS.
Fast library scanning
Keep the directory tree intentionally small so Infuse scans faster and stays responsive in day-to-day browsing.
Stable playback flow
Playback is designed to be predictable for clients, especially under high-bitrate streaming setups.
How playback availability works
Instead of relying on a single storage backend, playback availability is resolved dynamically through multiple providers. Popular titles are prepared automatically while less common content becomes available on demand.
Availability layer
Playback can be satisfied by different providers, with provider fallback when needed.
On-demand resolution
Common content is made ready proactively; long-tail content is resolved when you try to play it.
Provider fallback diagram (quick mental model)
Request → availability → playback
Infuse requests a file → the availability layer resolves a playable source → playback proceeds with fallback when needed.
Works with your existing setup
WebDAV is a standard protocol, so you can use it across devices with compatible players.

Why not Plex or Emby?
Traditional media servers expose massive shared libraries. This system focuses on a smaller personal catalog designed specifically for fast Infuse navigation and stable playback.
Shared-library overhead
Big catalogs and heavy server features aren’t always a win for Infuse scanning and day-to-day browsing.
Personal, fast, predictable
A clean WebDAV backend plus an availability layer is a simpler, more focused path for Infuse-first setups.
Limited trial tokens for Infuse users
Trial tokens are released gradually while the system is being tested with real Infuse playback environments. Access currently focuses on Apple TV users.
Tokens reviewed daily for stability and Infuse performance.
Slots limited, first-come-first-reviewed. Apple TV Infuse users prioritized.
