ShowShark vs Infiniteer Interactive Fiction

Your media library should be easy to enjoy—not another catalog you scroll through and abandon. ShowShark turns the movies, TV shows, music, photos, and videos you already own into a private streaming service made for Apple devices. Browse anything on demand, get recommendations, or turn your collection into custom 24/7 channels and watch what is already playing. ShowShark has two parts: this player app and ShowShark Server for Mac. STOP SCROLLING. START WATCHING. A large library can create a new problem: too many choices. ShowShark brings back channel surfing with your own media. Create a channel for action movies, classic sitcoms, cartoons, science fiction, family videos, or any mix you want. ShowShark builds the schedule and a live programming guide. Open a channel and join what is playing. YOUR MEDIA, ORGANIZED Install ShowShark Server on a Mac, then add folders, external drives, and SMB or NAS shares. The Server indexes files in place and adds artwork, descriptions, cast details, genres, and other useful metadata. Search by title, actor, artist, album, genre, year, mood, and more. Browse recent additions, continue where you stopped, rediscover old favorites, or play any item directly. Channels are an option, not a restriction. WATCH AT HOME, AWAY, OR OFFLINE Use native ShowShark apps on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Mac, Apple Watch, and Apple Vision Pro. Stream over your home network or use built-in remote access when you travel. You do not need router port forwarding or a separate VPN. Download movies, episodes, complete TV seasons, YouTube videos, albums, and tracks for offline playback. ShowShark can adjust video quality for the connection and device. Compatible files can use Original playback to preserve source video, HDR, and supported audio. MORE THAN A MOVIE SERVER Bring more of your media life into one app: • Movies, TV shows, home videos, music, and photos • Podcast subscriptions and Internet Radio • YouTube channels and live broadcasts • IPTV playlists and program guides • Embedded and external subtitles • Profiles, history, favorites, playlists, and recommendations • Skip Intro, AirPlay, and Picture in Picture PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your personal library stays on hardware you control. ShowShark has no ads and no tracking. Core playback does not require a hosted media library or cloud account. HOW TO START 1. Install this ShowShark player app on your Apple devices. 2. Download ShowShark Server from ShowShark.app on a Mac running macOS 14 or later. 3. Add your media folders or NAS shares. 4. Connect, press play, and enjoy your library again.

Infiniteer is an experience. Action. Adventure. Romance. Usually together! Places and worlds that persist with incredible detail. Characters that truly feel and remember. An AI that doesn't lose track of the plot, ever. Infiniteer is for stories we want to be in, not merely play. Each carefully crafted by adult authors for mature audiences. So join us and welcome aboard, Infiniteer! One of our inaugural titles is, appropriately enough, a reimagining of Will Crowthers' 1976 Colossal Cave Adventure, still considered to be one of the grandaddy's of all computer games—maybe even AI itself. Infiniteer's version, Colossal: The New Adventure, is now here 50 years later in the age of AI. Suffice to say, Infiniteers can have a lot more fun than dodging axes! There is a real unexpected story to be told that only our lifelike characters can help tell. We're building towards 100+ human-designed stories ranging from adventure, contemporary, science-fiction, drama, mystery, romance, supernatural, horror—and everything in between. There's even meta-stories where you can craft your tales. And of course, not one playthrough experience will ever be the same! This all occurs under the strongest security privacy possible: all your private playthrough information and everything you type or select is stored only on your device. No "game-state" information is stored for later examination by us or our AI datacenters. We use non-identifiable user-id's for purchase and holding balances. However, some Infiniteers (maybe even you) want share their experiences with others anonymously in good fun. Take a look how they spun a story up, and even jump in anywhere to create your own branching story line!
