Apple TV won't shuffle homemade music videos?

I've got a number of homemade videos (things downloaded from YouTube, etc.) I've set as music videos. Apple TV sees them just fine, and will play them just fine, but it WON'T shuffle them. It only seems to shuffle videos purchased from iTunes.
Has anybody run into this before?
Thanks.

Choose a video in iTunes, right click on it and GetInfo.
Under options tab ,skip when shuffling, is probably selected - change it for all affected videos and you should be ok.

  • ITunes won't sync some music videos to iPhone?

    Hey gang-
    I have lots of iTunes purchased music videos in iTunes that I also sync and enjoy on my iPhone 3gs. But I also have some music videos that I made myself from video I shot. They display and play fine in iTunes on my Mac.
    But the weird thing is the ones I made will NOT sync to my iPhone. Now- I recall learning something about this a few years ago. I seem to recall iPod and iPhone are much more "fussy" than Desktop iTunes about what they consider to be a Music Video. Something to do with Metatags, but it was very specific about which ones?
    Here's what I do know:
    1) Both my types of music videos appear in the Music Videos Smart playlist in iTunes on my Mac.
    2) When I Get Info, both types of Music Videos show Media Kind of "Music Video" on the Options tab.
    3) Both play Audio and Video perfectly in iTunes on my Desktop Mac
    4) But the ones I made will NOT sync to my iPhone, even though the playlist they are in is selected and "Include Music Videos" is selected in the iTunes Sync Music tab.
    Can anyone remember what the "magic" is to getting iPhone to get on the same page with iTunes on Music Videos? Running iTunes 10.2.1 and Snow Leopard 10.6.6 and iOS 4.2.1 on iPhone 3gs
    Thanks gang!

    Select the videos that won't sync and use the iTunes Advanced menu > Create iPod or iPhone Version. iTunes will create a version for your iPhone while leaving the original in place, which you may retain or delete at your option.

    Okay, next time I promise to at least challenge you a little bit LOL!
    Yes, that fixed it instantly. Many thanks!

  • IPod won't show bought music video

    Hello, I recently bought a music video (first time) but it won't show up in my video list. I found it in my song list but it only shows the album cover, not the video. I played around with iTunes but I can't get the music video to appear under 'Music Videos,' a playlist that had already been created on my iPod before I added my music. Can someone help me?

    Hey there,
    Does the music video play OK in iTunes? If so, try removing the video from your iPod and then resyncing it to see if that helps. It may just not have synced properly from iTunes to your iPod.

  • 10.5 iTunes IOS5= iT won't add Purchased, music videos, more duplicates from 8200 to over 12945, i think 80% more than i had before, freeze, purchased items from iTunes should be downloaded again from purchased page in the Store, so reinstalling All my Ap

    Hi,
    After installing iOS5 on iTunes and iPhone, everything went almost smoothly, except activation, which i finally fixed it.
    The issues i am now experiencing are for the most after iOS5 and iTunes 10.5
    No direct connection to Wifi Spot at HOME, ( i don't have a Carrier contract) I have to be really 2 metres near the router to connect, but not with iPad which i didn't update to OS5 yet, My Library problem is everyday i have to upload all my music from my computer, from nearly 2000 songs to really 12945 now!!! most of them duplicates, duplicates!!! Enormous , songs, music videos, and movies, all duplicated !!!
    I bought a software for fixing this problem, but unfortunately not working at all.I stop this way and buy no more softwares.
    I don't really see most of my Apps in iTunes Store=purchased, even though i have to download them everyday, i mean right now 93 are being on download platform, and tomorrow morning, i am not sure to have the 90 Apps on my Library, that in total should be near 600 or more than that.So my kid will ask for one game to play, and i will really have a hard time to find it(iPhone freezes when looking for App Store+update+ Purchased then ALL or Not in the iPhone, it freezes excessively, and when you got one app and push download then you go to iPhone 3, 4 or 5 th page, then rolling back to App Store etc,,,,
    Something is wrong, but i don't know it comes from.
    Back in 2002/3 first i bought the second generation of iPod, i never saw a duplicate song or file, but now it is different.It becomes sort of a challenge to open your iTunes on your Laptop, and you figure out that your Library is Empty, you have to look for Folders, and no Purchased icon under iTunes Store, No Music Videos either!!!
    Somebody has to sort this out Hopefully
    Best Regards

    I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.
    What brand of PC do you have? Sony VIAO is notoriuous for having some software which corrupts the iTunes library.
    If you are routinely generating more and more duplicates in your library then you are adding media in the wrong way. Simply scanning the entire media folder over & over again is a likely cause of problems, particularly if this is a different folder from the one currently set as the iTunes Media folder. Use a tool like iTunes Folder Watch which can scan your media folders, add new files and remove missing ones.

  • Apple TV won't send sound from video (via AirPlay) to Sabrent WiFi Audio Adapter

    Hello All.
    First, my basic setup is:
    Apple TV, connected to projector via HDMI, also connected to 2.4gHz wifi network
    Sabrent WiFi audio receiver (model WF-RADU), connected to 2.4gHz wifi network
    MacBook Air (2013), connected to 5.0gHz wifi network (specifying the wifi spectrum as having the macbook and Apple TV on same spectrum had previously led to significant lag)
    In the Apple TV settings, I've selected the Sabrent device as the AirPlay speaker. This will work for streaming audio if I play music directly from the Apple TV (such as streaming an iTunes album I'd purchased). However, when I connect the MacBook to the Apple TV (via AirPlay), the audio comes out the projector speaker, NOT the Sabrent device. My goal of course is for the video from the Apple TV to be sent to the projector, and the audio to be sent to the Sabrent device (plugged into a standard speaker).
    Seriously flummoxed here, as I expected this to work seamlessly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    No, do not have micro usb cable. if it is a big deal, I can get, although have restored back to factory settings which 'appeared' to be successful. Although did not solve issue

  • Can't shuffle mp4 music videos

    I ripped a video dvd of mine into 20 seperate mp4 files with Handbrake. I then added them to iTunes. Each plays fine but they stop at the end of the song. I'd like to get them to shuffle to the next song. Any hints?

    If you're set to Shuffle, do Get Info on the video files. They are probably set to Skip when Shuffling. (I believe that's under the options tab in Get Info.

  • Apple tv won't play my music

    I just bought an IMac today.  My apple tv will play my movies on my IMac but my music comes out sounding garbled.  I have an apple tv in my bedroom far away from the other applet tv and the music plays just fine.  I can't figure it out because all the settings should be the same.  I hooked up my old PC and checked to see if the movies and music will play and they play just fine.  Anyone have any thoughts?

  • Apple tv won't load apps including videos from my library

    So after this newest update 7.0.2. my apple tv has trouble accessing any of my apps, mainly netflix, hulu, and my home videos that are retrieved from my mac are the main ones I use. The spinning circle of death just keeps spinning and says accessing netflix or accessing hulu and while playing one of the videos on my mac (not through mirror-play that works just fine, directly through the "computers" app) it will constantly just stop playing and the disc will rotate again and this goes on for 10 minutes or more and it will just start playing the movie again after I wait it out. I tried restarting it several times and then I even did a full restore, which logging back in to all my apps was a complete pain. Please help me fix this! Oh additionally I have an apple tv in my bedroom that I have not updated and it works flawlessly. iTunes has the newest update and I am running yosemite and I have restarted my computer several times. Thanks for any help

    Section 8 seems to be most applicable.
    8. Cannot access my library when my computer is asleep
    For Apple TV to access your library while the host computer is asleep, "Wake for network access" must be turned on.
    Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and select (enable) the "Wake for network access" option.
    In addition, the network that the host computer and the Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation) is connected to must support Wake on Demand feature. This works by partnering with a service running on your AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule called Bonjour Sleep Proxy.

  • Music Video shuffle taken away with iOS5?

    So I made the mistake of updating my iPad software to 5.01, and now I can no longer shuffle my music videos from my playlists?  I can only see the video by going into videos, selecting a video, watching, going back, selecting another one, etc?  I was able to shuffle them from my music video playlist before the upgrade.  Why take away that functionality?  I'm keeping my Touch at the current OS since that still works, but a shame the larger iPad won't shuffle music videos.  Why make it harder on end users to enjoy their content they purchased? 

    Your observations are all correct. The ipod touch cannot shuffle music videos.You can shuffle songs and etc but not music videos. It would be a great feature i recommend you leave feedback at the link below. I happen to have 22 music videos that i enjoy watching and a shuffle feature would be nice.

  • Unable to shuffle music videos in IOS5

    Hi, I just downloaded IOS5 to my iPhone and all my music videos were put into a new folder called "Videos", but there is no shuffle function, so now I can't shuffle my music videos like I used to do and once and they won't automatically go onto the next song either, so I have to keep picking a new song.  Very frustrating.  Apple.... please make shuffling available in videos, otherwise I don't like it.  I am now going to try and restore my phone back to the previous version.  Argh!!!

    If the iPad works the same way as the iPhone, I found a workaround, created a playlist in my music (instead of videos), added my videos to this playlist then play everything off the 'Music' app rather than the 'Videos' on my iPhone. Works perfectly for me, can shuffle, loop...

  • Shuffle music videos?

    Is there no function that makes it possible to shuffle the music videos purchased? Its annoying to press play everytime a video is finished, it would be nice to be able to shuffle the videos like the songs....

    No, and it's a very frustrating omission.

  • Can't play music videos in sequence

    I have about 10 - 12 music videos on my iMac, all of which were downloaded from iTunes.
    I can only play one video on the AppleTV and then it stops. Is there a way to play iTunes music videos on my AppleTV in either shuffle or sequence? After one video plays it does not advance to the next video. I have syched the videos to my AppleTV.
    Thank you.

    If Apple would fix this so the music videos would all play one after another, this would be such a much needed enhancement, as I have really enjoyed this device. Keeping my fingers crossed for 2008...
