Album Art via Video out

It is my understanding that only video will play via the video out, no album art. I have 150 music videos and 2500 mp3 all with cover art. I put my Iphone in the av dock which is connected to my AV receiver and hit shuffle. Music Videos will appear on the TV but not the album art although the music plays. The album art appears on the phone - but not via the video out. If this intentional, why? Major shortcoming. Any workarounds? It would be cool.

Can't be done at the present. However, you can do a video slide show of your pics with music.

IPod Classic display album art via TV-Out

Just purchased an iPod Classic 80Gb with the new Apple Dock. I am thinking about getting the new composive AV cable to display video etc. on my TV as well as playing tunes through my hi-fi. Does anyone know if the album will display on the TV when playing music?

I just got the Universal Dock and the Component A/V cable as an early Christmas present, and as stated before there's no album art. Initially I would have thought that the entire iPod UI would be visible on the television, but it is not. The only thing that shows are movies, tv shows, and photos. :/

Zen Not Displaying ANY Album Art via

Hello, I love my 8gb Zen and always use WMP to sync songs. Everything was fine untill a few weeks ago. I formatted my player via WMP then tried adding songs to it and none of them had album art after that WHY? So frustarting. I'v tried many times and still no art. When I use the Zen sync (offical creative software) it gives art but many mistakes and repeat album arts. Not good. I don't want to add individual album art via a program since it would take forever.
any help is greatly apprciated ?

This also happened to me. Though I did a sync over the weekend, to remove a few albums and add a couple of new ones, and some of the old albums were updated and they have album art but not all. I'm guessing it's something to do with WMP but I'm not sure, as long as the music plays fine I can li've without album art.

Changing album art for videos?

When I import video into my iTunes 6 library, the "album art" is generated automatically. It pulls a frame from the video & uses it as the art, but I'd much rather choose the art myself.
I have not yet figured out how to delete this album art or change it. Anybody know how?
It seems that with the addition of video to iTunes, Apple may need to rethink the software's approach to tags.

Find the frame that you want to use. Ctrl (right) click on the image in the small window at the bottom and choose "Set Poster Frame".
Done!

Local File Album Art Bug (Figured Out)

I recently posted about this bug, but I now believe I have figured out what is the cause of it happening. For summarize, there is a bug that appeared in the newest version of Spotify (1.0.5.186) that causes the album art to not show up on certain Local files. When playing a song with Album art that doesn't work, Spotify will instead show the album art of the song that was previously played still. (Clean reinstallation does not solve this) What I've found to be the cause is that certain symbols that can either be found in the tracks naming or in the main file itself for some reason causes this to happen. The two symbols I've found to mainly cause this is apostrophes and parenthesis (There might be more). Since it's not much of solution to remove all these symbols from the files' names (As it would take a long time and ruin the name of some songs), this bug still needs a fix, but I hope this can somehow contribute to making the problem easier to solve :smileyhappy:

Hey
Thanks for your post.
Are you still having trouble with this? If so, could you let us know the version of Spotify that you're running at current?
Also, could you let us know the version of OS you're using on your device?
We'd love to forward this onto our team here!
Thanks.

Did latest itunes update (10.6.1) now album art and video showing as white square

Friday night (30 March) had itunes update. I was adding music to my ipad at the time. Completed the update and finished transfering my music. When i opened the music app most of my album art was gon. Even art that was there before the update was now gone. I tapped on the artist and each album showed no artwork. I then went to video and all those were white boxes as well. They showed a screen shot previously. Anyone know why or better yet how to get the artwork back for music as well as video? This happened on both the original ipad and the new ipad.

Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.

Where did the album art display go?

In iTunes 10.6 for Windows, the album art display in the Library column is gone. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to put it back. For clarity's sake, I'm talking about the thumbnail at the bottom left corner, right under Playlists – the one that shows 'now-playing' album art or videos. What (hopefully simple) procedure am I missing, or otherwise doing wrong?
Thanks!

Video Out Features : Streaming Video

Asked this in my local Apple Store today - unfortunately they were no use ("we have no demo AV cables sir") so I thought I'd try on here.
I'm keen to understand what output I can see on the video out of my iTouch if I connect it to a monitor. I fully appreciate I will be ale to see both photos and videos stored on the iTouch. However, it's not clear to me whether it is possible to watch content streamed from the web (eg. youtube) via video out. Hopefully someone can help (my Apple Store rep could only guess "it might work", "but it's streaming so maybe not", "we can't demo it, sorry").
Thanks.

Thanks for the responses. This has helped me a lot. It's also meant my 'pet project' is now almost possible. I've wanted, for while to be able to access 'on demand' content via the web to my TV/monitor without having to have a computer/AppleTV/etc grinding away in the background. Seems my iTouch will allow this albeit with a limit to my screen size as the resolution will be limited. Soon the BBC iPlayer will stream TV shows to iTouch (fantastic!). My bet is the BBC already have the holy grail of the SDK and iPlayer will be one of the first apps out for a UK audience.

Shutdown function and view album art by Genre..

Is it only me that would find a Shutdown at end of album function useful? When your lying in bed listening to music, i don't want to have to get up and switch my machine off, i want an option in iTunes that will shutdown my machine at the end of the playlist or Album.. any one else think thats useful?
What about viewing Album art via Genre? When you select a Genre, then click on the scroll album art button it shows the whole of your library!?!?! how stupid! i only want the albums in that Genre!
Grr... how many times i've sent that to Apple as a feature request i have no idea... since itunes 5 i think!! C'MON!

Please add your computer info to your profile using the My Settings link on the right side of the page.
I don't know about Windows, but on a Mac, there is a scheduled sleep/shutdown option in the Energy Saver Preference pane.. There are also quite a few free and cheap options available for download that can do it. If you're on Windows, you might look around to see what options you have.
When you select a Genre, then click on the scroll album art button it shows the whole of your library!?!?! how stupid! i only want the albums in that Genre!
Not sure where you're selecting the Genre, but if you're talking about the Browse option (the eye icon), when you switch to CoverFlow view, you are no longer Browsing, you are in CoverFlow.
If you switch between the different views (List, AlbumArt, CoverFlow) you'll notice that the Browse function is disabled for CoverFlow.
Of course, you could always create Smart Playlists to group your songs by Genre which would eliminate the need to rely on the Browse function.

Album art request for community

Hello!
If you can find
Losing My Religion - EP
from your countrys iTunes store, could you change some songs info match it and get cover art.
Then could you copy the cover art from iTunes into paint or something else and make it PNG img and share it here.
I will give points to whoever gave the img.
I need it for my song, which is not available in my iTunes store.

As long as you choose anything above 600x600 for example 1000x1000 itunes will resize it accordingly.
I always aim for the larger sized album art because the resolution and therefore image quality is better.
Hope that helps. ;o) In the meantime this is the album art for the Out Of Time Album which contains losing my religion (originally it was at a higher resolution but as stated above itunes has resized it to 600x600)

Video Play Issues, Thumbnails/Album Art Only Comes On

So in a fit of frustration, my bf has given up on trying to fix his iPod.
Problem? When he goes to play a video, it doesn't play. Instead the screen will look like it's playing a song, and a clip of the video is the album art or thumbnail. There's no movement, it's just a clip. We're done the resetting thing, adjusted the TV Out, TV Signal and Widescreen options back and forth. We're not trying to connect to a tv just trying to watch a video on the iPod. It was working fine two days ago but not so much today.
Any help?

Here try this and see if it solves the problem: go into your iPod, choose video's or movie's ( on the main screen) , then go to video settings and make sure "TV Out" is set to "off"... now your iPod should play video.
Regards--- jgurbisz
If I helped... please mark as helpful or solved. Thanks

How do I sync so that album art work in one library is copied over to another via home-sharing? Most of the artwork has been scanned and added by me.

I have three computers, each with its own iTunes Library, but if I add material to one, every few days I make sure that it's copied over to the others via homesharing. However, some of the metadata does not transfer, specifically the album art work. So on one library, call it my Home Library, everything is nice and tidy, with album artwork where it should be. On the other two, all the albums I've painstakingly made sure are complete on the home library are missing the art work.
Any thoughts? Tune Ranger and other iTunes maintenance apps don't seem to do the job, either. Coverscout, PowerTunes and Song Sargent also fail this task.

My understanding it iTunes handles artwork several ways. First, iTunes keeps a copy of all artwork in its artwork folder. Second, artwork can optionally be embedded in a media file. You can, for example, have an album where no artwork is actually in the files but all use a reference copy in the artwork folder. Even if a file has artwork embedded it may still use the version in the artwork folder.
Embedded artwork travels with the file when you copy the file.
I am hazy as to when exactly iTunes will embed artwork and when it won't. I believe, for example, if you use iTunes to fetch artwork it will not embed it, it will just place a copy in the artwork folder. Then too I never use iTunes to fetch artwork and I usually end up with artwork embedded in a file or two per LP (each embedded copy uses up more disk space). Now, I still use iTunes 7.5 and new versions may not behave exactly the same. If it was my version and I added artwork to a file it would embed it and it would transfer. It sounds like your artwork isn't embedded even if you are adding it the same way I would (I drag mine to the little arwork display box in the bottom left corner of my window, which apparently has vanished completely in iTunes 11).
You could try this for a file:
Script for embedding artwork - http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=embedart
Just remember embedding artwork adds to each file size, so if you have 1000 files and you add 2 MB of high quality scans to each track you are taking up 2 GB more of drive space.

I transfered videos from iPod to iTunes on Windows 7 PC but album art won't show up, even when I choose to find album art

I just installed iTunes 64 bit on my PC with Windows 7. I transfered my movies from my iPod Classic but no album art on any of them. I even try to find album art but nothing. I've downlaoded a couple of music albums onto same PC that I downloaded previously on iPad and they have art but not the videos I just transferred from iPod. I also can't play any of them on PC. I keep getting the no Quicktime message even though I downloaded QT. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem, except I dont have itunes match enabled.
I synced my ipad and unchecked all my albums to remove them. Then I re-synced with the albums selected. They went back on WITH the artwork under 'artists' but then for some reason the next time I sync, some of the artwork under 'artists' is gone leaving only a music note for the cover.
It also has nothing to do with the cloud backup as I have experienced this with both backing up to the cloud and to my mac.
strange.......

Sending video OUT via Firewire to my Camcorder FROM my computer?

Hi all!

Hi Retha!
Yes, you should be able to do this. Use the Export command in the File menu of iMovie, and you will see that Camera is one of the options.
