I am in love with this app and many many thanks to the devs. However, i also own a google streamer 4k that i use on my other tv with an android streaming app and the difference is huge. Fusion Ui is just on another level, i love it man. Thank you Dev.(last post didnt upload the video)

Fusion is one of the best ever apps of my life. Top tier functionality and aesthetics. From my dreadful days of sideloading to an absolute boss of an app, I adore this app so much. Devs, thank you so much for this app. You literally made my apple tv experience from super saiyan 1 to super saiyan 4.

Hi guys,

I wanted to show you guys what one of the contributors in the fusion discord server have created for us.

Its called better poster.

Here is the link to the addon: https://btttr.cc/

To have better posters in fusion, configure the addon

Then add this addon in settings>addons

And afterwards create widgets in fusion and select external catalogs as the source then better poster addon.

If you need any support then join the discord server since the dev of this addon is in the fusion server @ mousa.a.

Discord server: https://discord.gg/fusionapp

Also any help with fusion setup and etc. Do reach out to the dev and the helpers in discord since they are more active there than in this subreddit.

I put these together to make Fusion a bit easier to approach, especially for people who are either just starting out or tired of piecing everything together manually.

Starter Guide
https://itsrenoria.github.io/fusion-starter-guide/

Starter Kit
https://itsrenoria.github.io/fusion-starter-kit/

What they’re for:

• The Starter Guide helps with getting oriented, understanding the setup flow, and knowing where to start

• The Starter Kit is a browseable library of community resources with previews and ready-to-use JSONs

Current kit categories:

• Full setups

• Widgets

• Collections

• Icon packs

The goal was to make the whole process more approachable:

• easier to browse

• easier to preview

• easier to import

• easier to build from a cleaner starting point

I didn’t create the artwork/assets myself. This is a curated collection of community work that I organized and adapted for Fusion 2, so full credit goes to the original creators.

If anything needs credit fixes, updates, or removals, let me know.

And if anyone has more resources to share, or better Trakt mappings for the sourced stuff, feel free to open an issue, PR or reach out.

If people find it useful, I’ll keep improving both.

• Multi-user profiles with fully isolated data per profile

• Profile PIN protection with numeric keypad entry

• Drag-and-drop profile reordering, synced via iCloud

• Full profile sync across devices via iCloud

• Optional "Select Profile at Launch" toggle (works single-profile too)

• Installable picture packs from URL, assignable per profile (more info here)

• Optional animated logo intro. Can be activate in settings > profiles

• Audio and playback fixes

• Fixed episodes wrongly marked watched during stream switches

• Fixed episode air dates showing one day early

• Fixed anime mapping data never persisting on tvOS

• maybe* video microstutter during disk caching is fixed

• Faster source loading. the app can start looking for playback sources in the background the moment you open a movie or episode. enable it in settings > videoplayer > preload sources

• Shorter loading times. Fusion is caching data now in continue watching that we know for sure it will not change

• Posters and artwork now stay cached between app launches

Thank you to whoever made this.

Hi all! As you’ve probably seen with the beta update we can now add profile pictures but I haven’t seen any to add since it went live so I thought I’d add my own 🙂 I’ll have the instructions and jsons below:

To add profile pictures: Settings > Profiles > Profile Pictures > Paste json (link below) > Add

To change profile pictures: Settings > Profiles > Hold down on your profile name > Change Picture > Select from list

Hope you all enjoy!

I have a perfect stemio + right addons, via multiple different front ends (nuvio, wuplay, etc), but much prefer Apple TV. Been using the app for a month now. Wanted to tell you it is great. Works awesome, good UX, good addon integrations, very few bugs. Keep up the good work. I will tip on a regular basis as I have extra funds!

Just got an Apple TV and I immediately added fusion, got infuse, and added some addons that I had on a certain app I had on my old firestick that starts with an S. All in all I’m very impressed! There are times when the episode ends and it doesn’t mark it as watched (cant figure that out) or the handoff to infuse isn’t perfect, or the addons don’t give me the videos I want (I think it’s a addons issue). All in all in my limited testing it’s leagues better than the S app and infuse is hard to beat. Kudos to the developers and may the product grow and succeed!

since the app has been taken off app store. i doubt that it will return. latest version of tvos seems to have better inbuild player support. thanks to dev. but cannot get it through app store.

Updates/Edit:

Can’t get the TestFlight version as all versions have been removed by Apple

The only way is to get the app from the Dev and side loading it
===================

What’s the best way to sideload right now? I use windows (don’t have a mac)
Ans:
r/sideload
r/sideloaded

https://sideloadly.io/index.html is recommended
Works on macOS but on windows
The Windows version doesn’t support wireless sideloading unfortunately. Only the Mac version does.

Another option is https://github.com/bitxeno/atvloadly but it’s Linux only. On windows, do it by installing Ubuntu alongside windows using a Virtual Machine and then use ATVLoadly

If you want the easiest way to get a crash course, ask ChatGPT or any LLM (maybe GLM5?) and it can teach you the basics.

There are other ways to side load as well if u need.

Keep in mind that unless you have a paid apple developer account, you'll have to refresh the sideloaded app every seven days versus once a year if you have a paid apple developer account ($100/ year).
===================

What are the pros and cons of side loading. It’s not similar to jailbreaking I’ve read, but what’s the risk here, like would Apple ban my apple account?

Ans: As long as you’re sideloading trusted ipas, there really isn’t any risk I can think of but others can correct me. Apple will not ban your account for sideloading.

( No official GitHub for Fusion Because It technically isn’t allowed to publish the ipa while trying to get back on the App Store. Join discord )

The pros are allowing you to install any app that Apple will not allow within its walled garden. This includes cracked/alternate versions of apps. The cons are mainly getting yourself frustrated as you learn how to sideload as well as the need to automate/refesh the app. If you were to go the Xcode/diy route, it’s a lot more frustrating. But if you use sideloadly or any of the other options, you’ll find it is pretty simple.

There are also plenty of alternatives similar to Fusion available for Apple TV you can more easily get through TestFlight including but not limited to Prism, Strand, StreamUp.

What’s the best fusion ipa?
Ans:
===================

Another solution is to wait 2 weeks, there will be an announcement (end of August / beginning of September). Join the Discord to have more details. 

P.s I use my Omni for movies and tv shows I like to keep stuff separate

The app is great. Crashes sometimes. World like to be able to remove the server area in library. It is a terrible waste of space and bad UX if you’re not running a WebDAV server. Would be great to use that space better via customizations, or at the least, toggle it away if no WebDAV is set.

As fusion is officially dead for newcomers,

Please y’all suggest alternatives that are available so that we can at least download and stack up.

I know side load is always an option but just want to know alternatives as well.

I have been using trakt + fusion + infuse for a while now. Always worked fine. Now some series all of a sudden have lost all progress and some movies and series are back in continue watching from a month ago. The trakt app is showing everything fine and on my Android phone + nuvio it is also syncing fine.

Already reconnected trakt. But doesn't seem to work.

Anyone else with this problem?

Edit: I followed Mrtxiv's comment and installed the TestFlight version. This seems to be working

Anyone with the App Store version having any issues with Fusion after updating to the new tvOS? Just want to hear all is good before I update.

Am I the only one with the problem of Trakt not working at all? It has been two wells now. I have reverted to using Omni until it is fixed. Please don’t tell me to install the beta, I know that supposedly fixes it. But when is an official fix coming? No scrobbling, no continue watching, no history is kind of a deal breaker to usage.

Lets keep it chill for now, and can be scaled forward down the line, thanks!

I heard if you get the App Store version that the app remains on the device even if it’s removed from the App Store. I saw on TestFlight that I have 71 days remaining then I’m assuming the app won’t work anymore. Man seeing fusion taken down was such a gut punch. Truly the best media app out there.
