VLC is a great way to work with AppleTV, if you are willing to trade a few more clicks and less meta data for being free. It is by far the gold standard of being able to play anything.
The file format issue, plus the simple interface (especially for older less technically inclined) makes infuse worth the $100 lifetime cost (especially with family sharing).
What hardware are you using for your LibreELEC? Pi 3,4,5? With an external drive?
Self-hosted is not a way to make things free. Just lower cost than subscriptions overall. Using the full *Arr suite, with Usenet, your own hardware, and client boxes gives the users better control of the content they watch, but requires a nominal input of users time (plus some technical expertise), as well as an investment of some money both one time and annually.
Infuse’s lifetime time cost, when viewed in light of the total reduction of subscription cost (and an improved control of content) is worth it. I would definitely not pay a monthly amount to infuse, although it’s possible.
So far as Jellyfin’s app… As its free, I have low expectations. They fact that the developers have paid Apple for the SDK and put it as a free app on Apple TV and iOS is incredibly kind of them. They have a fair amount of code to look after and open source developers rarely get enough love or money.
I realize most will say kodi or android TV, but I have to say that Apple TV with Infuse (or Jellyfin) is really simple and reliable. I say that with the assumption that you mean a client, not the server. I would definitely put it on a NAS at minimum.

In an April sit-down, former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg schooled Schulz and his co-hosts for believing in Trump’s promises.
I wanna see this.
Yes I do!
They are working towards requiring it for all travelers.
Why: Think of this as a trial working towards full automation. They aren’t there yet and are not probably legally allowed to do so, but the idea is that you can be fully tracked like the British, Chinese, and other biometric adopted countries.
Prevention: Reliability and legality. As I mentioned I don’t think they can force it in the US for travel yet as it’s not legally allowed, nor is biometrics entirely reliable as is apparent when facial recognition fails.
You mean like his own National Security advisor leaked information on previous operations?
As Hanlon’s razor goes:
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
Incompetence in the white house is easy to see.
This is the roll call of the motion to table the impeachment. It’s listed by alphabetical last name, but you can find your reps in there.
While I sympathize, I also have read enough history and law to know that the executive branch has many option and powers to leverage to make this happen.
The SAC, aka the third option is a prime example.
Further the executive has the ability to deploy forces for 90 days, but still must notify the speaker of the house within 48 hours of deployment.
These are just two examples.
But if Trump can’t even report within 48 hours, then they need to assert their power.
I hate this sort of post, not for what it’s saying but how it’s saying it. This is one news organization writing a story about another news organization poll, and no links to the data are evident. Links to the original news story which aired via a YouTube link, but there’s not even a transcript of it up as I check yet.
So, it’s great that there a backlash, but without context of the data it’s not worth citing.
Listen to the first half of this podcast as Chenoweth explains what the cavets are to this rule. She describes it more of as a descriptive rule not prescriptive rule, and suggests many other circumstances going on in addition to achieving this rule. Further régimes have adapted to this rule since it was first discovered and she’s still truing to see what that adaptation means.

She has become the Republican-appointed justice most likely to be in the majority in decisions that reach a liberal outcome, according to a new analysis of her record prepared for The New York Times. Her influence — measured by how often she is on the winning side — is rising. Along with the chief justice, a frequent voting partner, Justice Barrett could be one of the few people in the country to check the actions of the president.
Overall, her assumption of the seat once held by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has moved the court’s outcomes dramatically to the right and locked in conservative victories on gun rights, affirmative action and the power of federal agencies. But in Trump-related disputes, she is the member of the supermajority who has sided with him the least.
So not what they wanted, but not RBG. Still to much authoritarianism for me from the SCOTUS.

Fascinating idea and I look forward to reading the book. As someone who has never seen protests be that effective as compared to other constituency pressure mechanisms, it’s an interesting counter point.
The OP’s article indicates 3.5% of the population, which for the US at the moment would be around 340 million. 3.5% would be 11.9 million people.
Rough guesses are that the protest saw about 4-6 million people out yesterday.
I’m particularly curious about the paper’s coalition building concepts about tying immigration to other value such as worker rights, private sector interests such as agriculture, racial justice, etc.
Beyond this I wonder if the analysis from ten years ago takes into account the technological isolation, manipulation, and echo chambering of modern politics. I would venture to guess that the 3.5% might need to be higher in a population that doesn’t listen to ‘untrusted opinions’.
As an old IT guy I empathize with the control of data. I have my array of self-hosted servers and love my CLI.
With that said, the older I get the less patience I have for hacking it together and supporting it. I still prefer privacy, and indeed Firecore Infuse is “Private by design” by their own statement. It’s not open source and I am not clear if it’s audited, but for as long as it lasts I’m happy friends and family less technically inclined have a simple easy familiar interface which I don’t have to support.
I will say I’m impressed A Pi4 works so well for jellyfin streaming. I guess it’s not transcoding, so it’s just a database and file share.
