Bug in playing back video podcasts from playlists?

I subscribe to about 2 dozen podcasts, a few of which are video podcasts. I have a smart playlist that collects all the podcasts together, based an their Album name. I have a second smart playlist that collects all unplayed & unrated members of the first podcast playlist.
I have my Nano set to autosync the second smart playlist. If I navigate to this playlist (via main menu->Music->Playlists)I can see the video podcast titles listed there, see the little TV symbol next to them signifying they're video, but when I try playing them, I see a single frozen video frame, and the audio plays. Rotating the Nano to landscape mode doesn't make a difference. It happens on all my video podcasts.
But when I play the video podcast via main menu->Podcast (enabled via Settings->General->Main Menu), it'll play normally.
Has anyone else run into this bug? Anyone able to play video podcasts via the Music->Playlist?

This is a serious bug. I was puzzled how to play the video podcasts which were put in a playlist using the same method as yours: 1st Smartlist collects all podcasts, and the second one collects the unplayed ones. Then I synch the second smart play list. No matter what I do, I cant see the video. However thanks to your post, I now know I can see it via the much more "normal" route of selecting podcasts from the main menu.

  • Video podcasts in playlists

    I have a smart playlist on my iPod with one rule:
    Video Kind is Movie
    When I play videos from this list I hear the audio, but the video is frozen on a frame.
    All videos work fine when played from the main Videos menu.
    Is anybody able to play video podcasts from smart playlists ?

    Nope sorry. This is similar to how on iPod the album, artist, and track menus will list all files on device whether they are audio or video. But video will only show when played from video menu other wise you will only get audio.

  • Trouble playing back videos on my iPod touch

    I recently started having trouble playing back video on my iPod touch. I have the most recent versions of iPod software, iTunes, and Quicktime. The video podcasts sync just fine but only play audio...no video. I basically get the first frame of the video and that's it. I have tried restoring the iPod, resetting it, deauthorizing/reauthorizing my iMac (using Leopard), etc. Nothing works. Interestingly, my wife has a nano and she suddenly cannot sync videos even though it was working fine just 2-3 weeks ago. These are basic m4v files that are downloaded from iTunes, so they should work. I believe this started after the last iPod software update but I can't be certain. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Try starting video playback under the video section-not the audio section.

  • Issues with Downloading/Viewing video podcasts from NBC News

    I am currently experiencing a problem with downloading video podcasts from NBC News. On my iPad 3, white iPhone 4 from Verizon, 3rd generation Apple TV and my mid-2012 15-inch MacBook Pro, it takes forever to download any kind of video podcast from NBC News. For example, on my iPad 3, it has taken over 35 minutes to download 7 MB out of 131 MB of video. The same thing happens on my iPhone and MacBook Pro. This has been going on for about a week now. Audio Podcasts from NBC News are fine. Other video podcasts play instantly.
    Trying to play an NBC News video directly in iTunes on the Mac, or in the iOS podcast app, or trying to play it on my Apple TV is no better - the video is extremely slow to load with lots of stops and goes.
    The problem also extends to NBC's iOS apps. Videos continuously try to load and do not play in the NBC Nightly News app for iPad for example. And, videos take forever to load at nbcnews.com, nbcnightlynews.com on my Mac.
    I feel like there is something wrong with NBC's content. Has anyone been experiencing this same problem? I have not rebooted my wireless router or modem, I do not think that would do any good. Rebooting my devices do not make a difference.

  • Cannot delete (non-downloaded) video podcasts from my iPad

    Using iTunes on my iPad, I tried to download some video podcasts from CNN and Discovery Channel. For 4 days now, I have had 4 episodes sitting in my "Downloads" section, witht the words "waiting" underneath.
    I have searched the discussion forums and the web for answers.
    I have done hard restarts.
    I have downloaded the above podcasts directly to iTunes on my computer, and tried to sync them with my iPad. It said that the iPad could not play that type of content.
    I have deleted the podcasts from my computer and synced with the iPad again.
    All to no avail; I cannot remove the 4 offending episodes.
    Please, someone, help!
    Many thanks
    Andrew

    Your compliments made my Thanksgiving day and left me speechless. Thank you. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

  • Can't delete video podcasts from 5th gen classic

    I have a 5th gen. 30gb ipod classic.  I have about 3gb of video podcasts from itunesU installed and can't remove them because they don't appear anywhere on itunes except on the bar graph at the bottom of the screen.  My ipod is full and I need to remove them.  Can I delete them directly without using itunes, or is there a way to get itunes to recognize them.  itunes and ipod are fully up to date.

    I was having the same problem. But I believe I found the solution. :]
    1. Once your ipod is plugged in, push SHIFT
    2. In the bottom left corner a icon will change from a + to a *
    3. Click this icon and a box will come up for a Smart Playlist.
    4. Enter the information: GENRE IS PODCAST
    5. Check box in front of limit to. Then enter information for limit to (A NUMBER WELL ABOVE YOUR SONG COUNT)(EX. 100000) and then ITEMS selected at RANDOM.
    6. All of your unfound podcasts (or whatever you wish to search) will be put into that new folder.
    7. Then simply click on the folder and press SHIFT and DELETE.
    8. Your video gb count should prove that the information was deleted.
    I hope this works out for you. When I figured this out I was so happy, it was unbelievable. haha. Best of luck :] Jane

  • How to transfer my videos podcasts from macbookpro to my new iMac ?

    I've just bought a new iMac and would like to transfer my videos podcast from my MacBookPro without having to download all of them again. I was already successfull in transfering the subscriptions but they are asking to download again all the videos, including the free and the bought ones. That is a waste of time ! Isn't there a Apple smart way to avoid it ?
    Thanks in advance folks !

    You can't do it directly on your iPad. You will need to copy them to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Then add them to your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library so that they go into the Movies part of your iTunes library, and then sync them to your iPad's Videos app.

    "I tried to change the settings in Quicktime Preferences in the streaming tab but it didn't change anything. Still getting the same problem."
    What changes did you do & did you restart your computer afterwards?
    Have you tried a different browser?
    Download the video & then view the Keynote. See if you experience the same issue.

  • How would I play back video recorded on a camcorder on an iPad?

    How would I play back video recorded on a camcorder on an iPad?>

    ToddNashville,
    Thanks for your reply. I want to use the iPad (or another tablet) for it is portable, battery powered, light, etc. I'm taking video and playing back on a ski slop. Can't plug it in or carry it around like a normal video monitor.
    Has no one developed an app and/or connector to provide a video input to the iPad yet? Hard to believe.

  • Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU)

    Flash player freeze a lot when playing Youtube videos fullscreen from Linux, but plays videos ok from Windows (CPU: AMD APU).
    When playing video in default size it's OK (windows and Linux), but when setting video in full screen, on Linux there's troubles: video is hashed (freeze every 3 seconds).

    OS : Linux Mint 17 (64 bits).
    Browser: Firefox v31 (on Linux and Windows 7).

    Hi s, well congrats on getting your brother's computer up and running. On your system, you have all correct Flash Player
    files for IE and FF, as well as the SWO and SWF.
    Since the Install of Flash Player, have you installed any programs that would have added any ActiveX Controls, or any other add ons or plug-ins?
    Have you had an opportunity to see if your brother's computer has the issue you have when watching the same websites?
    Are you using any ad-block in FF(Firefox) or any pop up blocker software installed?  I can't imagine updating to FP version 10 alone would cause this.
    Is this happening only on the BBC website? Does what you watch come thru the BBC website or youtube directly?
    We have your brother's computer to use to determine what is going on. If he is able to see the BBC website and what you
    are having problems with, then we can rule out the website.
    Other browser add ons, anti-virus programs, etc. affect the browser. Even tho, no problem with vs 9. Sometimes updates
    can have an affect, even with Windows as we all know:-)
    Thanks,

  • My nano plays back itune podcasts at too fast a rate.

    Hi All!  My nano plays back itune podcasts at too fast a rate.  My iMac does not do this with the same podcasts.  If I have my nano connected to my iMac and use it (the nano) to playback thru my computer monitors- it's fine.  Unplug it and use earbuds and it's too rapid!?  Did my nano drink too much coffee?  Thanks, Michael

    O.K.  Finally figured it out...  Podcasts have a 1/2x, 1x and 2x speed setting on one of the windows that will change the playback speed.  Never Mind!

  • Imovie not playing back video from one event

    Select vidoes in iMovie '09 won't play back for me.  All I get is a black box, no audio, no video.  The issue appears to be confined to videos from one particular event.  The preview shows up just fine, but no actual video. 
    The videos were taken and imported from the same Sony camera as the videos that do work.  They also play back fine in Quicktime.  The format is .mov.  Any ideas?

    Fixed the issue myself. Here's a step-by-step because I what found online pertaining to this issue were not clear on how to fix it.  (Note that this is what I did to fix the problems, some of the steps might not be strictly necessary.)
    How to get movies to start playing back again in iMovie '09: 
    1.) Close iMovie.
    2.) Delete contents of the "iMovie Cache" folder for the event that is not playing back correctly.
             - There are were two files "Cache.mov" and "Cache.plist", I deleted both.
    3.) Restart iMovie
    This appeared to force the program to generate new files and start working correctly.  From what I read on other postings it was probably caused by the program not closing properly, which I seem to recall it crashing on me or my wife a while ago.
    @ Bengt Wärleby
    I appreciate you taking the time to post a reply, but please try to read the question before you do so in the future.  I had said that files imported from the same camera work correctly (i.e. the same file type/codec), so the problem is obviously not a codec issue.  Furthermore, .mov is the extension for the QuickTime File Format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.mov). 

  • Deleted Video Podcasts from iPhone no longer increment iTunes play count

    Prior to downloading iTunes 7.4 this morning, iTunes used to increment the play count of any video podcasts that I deleted on my iPhone to 1. Then refresh would naturally get rid of it. Now, the only way to have the play count set to 1 is if you "keep" the video podcast instead of deleting it. If you delete it, it will just resync the next time you dock your iPhone.
    Has anybody else seen this? Is there a fix?
    I'm going to 1) Reboot my Mac and if that doesn't fix it 2) Restore my iPhone. If that doesn't work, I'll have to leave feedback to Apple.

    Thank goodness I found your post. This bug has been driving me crazy for weeks. I've been looking for a solution and I couldn't find anyone with the same problem...I thought I was the only one...I'm so glad I'm not and that my iPhone isn't corrupted (just a little buggy)!
    I've spent hours trying to solve this on my own and never figured out that I just needed to keep the darn video. Notice too that if you use the Delete button to delete a video, and then reboot the iPhone, the video reappears in the video queue, but it is no longer playable. Very strange.
    Thanks so much for posting. Apple support said they never heard of this problem before...I guess they don't read posts or feedback. Hrumph! What do you have to do around here to get a bug fixed?!!

  • Cant play or import video podcasts from garageband to itunes

    Hi,
    ive just update iTunes to version 7.2, however since doing this i can no longer import any kind of video podcast or imovie file to itunes. This is driving me mad as its very important for me to be able to do this as its a big part of my job!
    If i delete the video track in garageband and just export it as a normal audio podcast it works fine, its just video files that are the problem, im pretty sure its iTunes related and not garageband, any ideas about whats going wrong?
    (iTunes and garageband have both been updated)

    Mike you are an absolute legend. Thankyou, this has been troubling me for weeks. Works perfectly now mate, nice one!
    On another note, why did quicktime not update itself automatically, as i did do software up date, even ran software update from quicktime, but it didnt find anything, even though it was only on 7.0.4, surely it should have updated itself and saved me all the trouble?
