Music Video Playback

Tell me if I'm wrong, but after watching a music video, I get a black screen and won't go to the next video. If I hit the fwd button, I get the prior video menu and can select another video. Is this the way its suppose to work?
Is there a way to play all videos in a row? The playlist plays the song, but not the video.
Thanks

I just create a playlist from within iTunes that has nothing but music videos within it (in my case, all from the iTunes Store) and then manually drag it to the iPod nano image that is shown within iTunes. I'm using the manual management method for my nano, I don't think that would make any difference.
In any case, it works because when I go into "Videos > Video Playlists" on the nano and select my playlist and then select the first video in the list they play back-to-back. I can also skip tracks while they are playing and it continues to the next video and then the next (i.e. it stays in back-to-back playback).
And it appears to work with both smart playlists and standard playlist that I create within iTunes. I suspect the playlist must contain nothing but music videos (no audio-only tracks) but I haven't actually tried mixing track types to see what happens under those conditions (maybe that would work also).

No sound on Music Video Playback

Hi,
iTunes mysteriously stopped audio when playing music videos from the library - All ok with songlists and podcasts. Quicktime has the same issue.
VLC will play them ok.
Have checked every setting I can see /think of, but no luck - Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks Kay,
All video files are "MPEG1 Muxed". The thing is, I have added these to the itunes library from an old Windows machine and they have been playing good but just suddenly stopped playing sound. They are still on the windows machine - should I trash and reinstall?
Thanks

Music video playback issue with 10.4

Previous to Lion and iTunes 10.4 if I was view a playlist in coverflow and one of the songs was a video this video would play full screen and when it was finished iTunes would return cover flow and continue to flow through the playlist. In 10.4 after the music video finishes I am either returned to the desktop if I was previously on the normal full screen iTunes view or retuned to the coverflow with it not tracking the songs, if viewing coverflow in full screen. Any idea on how to make it work?

Do you have a SATA hard drive? I have the same problem you describe when trying to play videos in iTunes. Do the previews of music videos on the iTunes web site play OK? If they do you probably have the same problem with SATA HD and iTunes incompatibility. Not sure who is going to fix that problem and when. I have found one fix that worked for me. Copy your video(s) to a flash drive and then play them from there. It's a workaround and you shouldn't have to do it but it does allow you to watch the videos.

2.0 - Can you play Music Videos in a playlist one after another

I'm at work and unable to test. Does the "new" Take2 finally allow users to create their own MTV?

I'm equally disappointed/frustrated. We bought three of these to play easily-updatable video presentations, announcement clips and short films for my church. But it simply won't work for that purpose. Apple TV plays one video, then back to the menu. There's still no way to play any sort of multiple videos in succession, and that just seems ridiculous to me!
There are actually people who take the time to reply to (the many) threads like this one with, "Well, Apple didn't advertise it with that functionality". Wow - that's true, I guess, but when something's a no-brainer, it's a... oh, never mind.
The kiosk market, music video playback, successive short films or home videos shown for parties. Apple has really missed the mark on this. It's a real shame for an otherwise great product.
I guess onto eBay go three Apple TVs.

ITunes 7.4 won't play music videos

When I doubleclick on a music video, iTunes 7.4 won't play the video, only the music. Music videos where playing fine with prior versions of iTunes. No matter which option I choose in the Video Playback preferences, iTunes won't launch the video. Restarting iTunes didn't bring back music video playback either. Podcasts and Movies are playing just fine though.
Any help ?
Thanks

I had the same problem and I landed here - OS10.7, had iTunes 10.5.2 *thinking* it was playing - acts like it was?, shows pause icon - no audio, no actual playback. ...Scrubber dot didn't move onPlay click. (And, dam, I was hungry for music!), but.. That's where I discovered it. Of course, I had browser audio probs, too - YouTube, Hulu - and Skype - any app output audio was affected...
   I struggled with this for at least a day! Frustrated, I took out my other OS10 boot drives and tried troubleshooting... No dice. I halted CoreAudioD (whew) out of desperation... I checked my audio lines.. Then I remembered I installed a trial of ProTools with an Avid audio driver (maybe looking for Digi-approved devices) at around the time of trouble.
     My SysPref audio panel was showing only Avid's device - no line in, no ext spkr.. So, I ran the ProTools uninstaller to try that. That's where EVERYTHING went back to absolutely normal! (After the restart). SysPref Audio panel shows all! I selected LineOut (for me), and I got it.
     iTunes and other audio-service-consuming apps suddenly didn't take 4 minutes to launch!, and my Lion install was like I first had it. ProTools has a dedicated uninstaller - install that clean. If you have a PT install that works, check the iLok config - my iLok is active and attached, but not for PT 10. Maybe it's avid device->CoreAudio, may it's due to the PT trial???... Whatever it was, for me, the problem lied there.
     Hope that helps any of you guys. Good luck and thanks for the direction, bros..

ITunes 10 - no way to stop music video, keep song playing?

In an earlier version of iTunes (not sure how old) there was an option to stop music video playback but continue playing the soundtrack, by keeping the video in the "Now Playing" artwork window. Now the only options are to play it in the viewer, in a separate window, the iTunes window, a separate window, full screen or full screen (with visuals) -- but NO option to stop the video altogether.
It doesn't seem like a big deal, but I don't want that video sucking up processing power when all I'm doing is listening to music while working. And I also don't want to cut videos out of my playlists altogether; that's not really a solution at all, just a workaround.
I seem to recall it was pretty easy maybe just clicking on the preview window? Now all that does is open the video in a new window (and closing that window stops the song.
SO -- any thoughts? Or is the option there somewhere and I just haven't found it? Thanks in advance!

Really!? No way to do this? It seems like such a waste. Do I REALLY have to open the videos in Quicktime Pro, export the soundtrack, import that into iTunes, and remove the videos from my playlist? Because that's the only way I can think of to work around this.
But it seems like such a hack.

HT1304 ITunes Music Video Gone

I can't seem to fine the Music Video playback anywhere. I have the most recent version (10.6.3) and I get the audio fine, but no video feed. The Video Playback option, under the view menu, is grayed out and unavailable. I have selected for video to play in the visualizer, but this dosn't work either. Additionally, the menu options I see are different than the ones in the Apple Support article. I don't know if thats because the articile is from 2009, or because my software is acting up.

Nevermind. Just found our that it was because I had multiple speakers selected. Seems like there should be a warning, error, or something for that.

Video Playback ISSUE WITH VISTA!!!! NEEDED HELP BADLY!!!!!!!

I am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.
-Nick.

Do you have a SATA hard drive? I have the same problem you describe when trying to play videos in iTunes. Do the previews of music videos on the iTunes web site play OK?

No Audio Playback in Music Videos that were converted from MPEG to MPEG-4

Friends -
I am using iTunes as the default player for all types of audio files. I have not downloaded any supplemental video or audio Codec files (yet). Windows Media Player (11.0.6001.7000) is my default player for videos. When I recently converted a batch of old music videos from MPEG format to MPEG-4 format, I lost the audio playback on the converted files when trying to play back using iTunes. Audio works fine on the original MPEG files from iTunes. After syncing my Video iPod, the video playback is fine on the MPEG-4 files, but there is still no audio. Any suggestions?

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

In the Quicktime 7 A/V controls, how fast is the 2x playback really because it isnt twice as fast. I shot a music video on the 2x setting and when we slowed the footage down to half time, it did not line up.

ITunes with videos bad, Music & Regular! Crash, Black Screen, Tagging?

So i have been using iTunes for ages and have been collection Music's CD's longer and i got to load them to iTunes a while ago. Music works great in iTunes but with my CD's i often got music video's included so i tried to play them and some regular videos in iTunes and got the following problems and issues (Almost all the tested video files was optimised for iProducts (All MP4 format)) :
Can't use some of my music videos (mp4 format) in itunes but i can in Quicktime (Got black screen but good sound ). I have no idea how they coded iTunes but shouldn't they use the same codec's?.
iTunes have a tendency to crash if i play music videos in a row. (Like to use random in a music video list, calming in the background. i know it's kind of excessive but i like it).
Sometimes i need to play through a music video then reverse back to it to get a picture. (Sound works great tho) .
Laggy! Sometimes the sound get out of sync with video and vice versa. (Usually the beginning. Has a tendency to catch up but not always, sometimes a middle lane in the video freezes.)
Can't you tag or sort video files better.? My computer sometimes crashes or get changed so i need to reinstall my media library from a backup. It would immensely help if i could ID3 tag media files the same way i can song so they automatically sort in to music video's, movies and Tv-series (media types!) without forcing me too change it in the advance tap at show more information. (This is off topic but i need this for audiobooks too (iTunes don't got my type of books so i am manually coping them from CD to MP3 format and transferring them to my iPhone))
So i'm a trial and error person so i worked a little bit with the problems when i had the time and when finally got somewhere and had some real questions so i created this profile and wrote this post.
Please read the whole post before you go yelling: -Look at this!, Already Asked!, See this forum! It's your computer! I usually get to the point somewhere on this post. At the bottom of the post i have my current specs for my computer. So here comes the wall of text:
I started with this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718?viewlocale=en_US and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717 which is what you get if you search a bit in apple's support site. Tried all the things there. Disabled Direct3D, Tried Safe Mode On (Note: These two made the performance worse not better.), Checked display colour quality (Maxed), Turned on DMA, (A slight improvement still issues.) and finally got to ReadyBoost. I have all my media on an external drive (Aha you says!) and yes i finally figured out that iTunes can't handle files of that size from a regular external (Observe i do not have ReadyBoost on my 1T drive, It says it don't have the necessary performance). So i moved my video files to my internal drive and it significantly improved in problems 2,3,4 (Not gone!), Also noticed that i need to have as short pathway as possible (smaller improvements yet again!) (None of this shows in troubleshooting, Apple needs to read my post i think.)
I am now browsing web forums for a better suggestions on the problems and found that Apple either did not care about the problems or the members of this or other forums recommended other media player's to use for handling devices and media (MediaMonkey, doubleTwist and so on). Either as to further their own agenda or that they have giving up on iTunes as a media player for large number of media files. (Found a good media tagger, Magic MP3 Tagger, which worked wonders on some of my older albums with no or little information). So back to my problems or questions.
What can be the trouble with a mp4 format?
Tendency to crash, is iTunes really that unstable?
Play through music video to see picture. Really iTunes?
Laggy! don't know what more to say or fix. (iTunes take to long to buffer (got between 0-15 seconds delay after i come this far, better then before but not great)
Sort video files better. (Tags). The only format i know to date that instantly recognise what media type it is, some movie format and the ringtone format m3u (Useful to know is that you can make your own ringtones by creating a ACC with a limited play time in advanced tab (max 30 seconds) then change the last file ending of the ACC file now created to m3u. Viola! (Don’t forget to change back to the regular playtime on the original file) your custom created ring/smstone in workable and high quality, but i digress).
Sorry for the long read but i wanted to be as thorough as possible and please forgive any grammar and spelling problems. English is not my native tongue and the spelling checker did not work in my laptop (browser) on this website

This problem cropped up for me yesterday. I had just copied a new video to my iTunes library and was testing that it worked properly, but while the sound was playing, the screen was black.
Pausing/pressing the Play button resolves the issue, until I select a new video/movie to play, when I have to do it again.
I'm running MacOS X 10.6.6 and iTunes 10.1.1 (4). I tried reinstalling iTunes, with no luck. I also tried the old mainstay of replacing the Preferences file, but that also didn't help.
There is ONE new wrinkle to this situation. Yesterday, I had installed a new app named AirView to stream videos over AirPlay to my iPad. This works fine, but after this, the issue cropped up, suggesting an AirPlay issue.
I have two iMacs, so decided to try this situation on the Kitchen iMac and played a video on this other iMac just fine, video and sound. I then started up AirView on the iPad and initiated the video stream to the iPad from the Kitchen iMac. The movie played fine on the iPad. I quit AirView and went back to try the video on the Kitchen iMac, and yes, the video now failed to display until I reselected Computer from the AirPlay menu at the bottom of the screen, or used the pause/play solution, even though Computer was still selected as the default in the AirPlay menu. Doing this once seemed to be enough to resolve the issue for playing all videos on the Kitchen iMac, but not on the Office iMac.
The only other difference between iTunes on these two iMacs is that one (the Office iMac) is running its videos from a FireWire 800 attached 2TB hard drive, while the Kitchen iMac's contents are on the internal hard drive.
Deselecting the AirPlay option in Preferences/Devices to start videos correctly on the Office iMac is not a solution, since this iMac serves as our home server for our Apple TV.
Since I have a practical option, however, and since this issue doesn't affect playing videos remotely using AirPlay, this is now a buggy annoyance, but no longer a problem for me.

Video playback in mixed (video and music) playlists

How can I set a video playlist to play both the songs and the videos (not just the audio from the video)? My 5G ipod would allow both video playback and songs from the video playlist menu. On my 160g classic, I only see/play the videos on the mixed playlists from the video playlist menu.

The 3ivX codec is in your quicktime library folder, normally: root/Library/QuickTime, but I don't think, that Apple encodes their movies with an unsupported codec. Maybe there is another unsupported codec in your library that creates the iTunes-stuttering or the reason for your problem is completely different. I paste here the content of my library folder. If you have anything else in your folder, quit Quicktime Player and iTunes (if they are running) , remove the plug-in and try your movie again in iTunes. Hope, this helps.
Here's the list of my library content, that is working with iTunes 7:

How do I get my ipad2 to play the music videos as video during playback in music similar to my iPod?

I would like to play back all my music and music videos together like on my iPod, but when I play the music videos from the music app, they only display a thumbnail picture when the video is playing. I like to mix up my audio only songs with my music video songs. Do I need a separate app to acomplish this?

Did you check to see that shuffle is is turned off? To do this, while playing a song tap the cover art to reveal the additional controls if they are not already visible (see photo below). Then tap the shuffle button (bottom right) until it turns white (white is off).

Music Video does not playback it looks like a white negative!!

Please please help...I have downloaded itunes7 and now I cant watch any of my new or old music video's...the music plays but the video looks like a white negative...you can make out the faint outline of people and things moving but nothing else??????????????
Windows XP

I read a solution somewhere that worked for this music video problem, that was before i gave up on my music skipping and reverted back to i-Tunes 6 (so music no longer scratching but videos not working without delay/skipping.)
Anyway the solution was, Quit i-Tunes, select start menu -> control panels -> quick time. Click on advanced tab, uncheck box next to enable direct 3D video acceleraion and then open i-Tunes
Hope that helps you
