HT4211 apple tv sound but no video

I have audio but no video on my apple tv.  I can see "now playing" listed in the music category, and can hear the audio but cannot see the video. any advise what setting or problem causes this?

If you are using Airplay to send something to AppleTV, many iOS apps only transmit sound due to restrictions.
Alternatively are you not seeing anything on teh TV (menus etc) with AppleTV connected?

  • HT204291 Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Here are the steps for AirPlay:
    Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
    On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home  Button to view your recently-used apps.
    Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the  icon.
    Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
    Tap the  icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
    Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
    Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
    Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
    When you do that you will see an Orange screen
    Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

    My apple tv and airplay works great except when I try to play a dvd on my macbook. Have sound but no video.

    You won't be able to view them via Apple TV, correct. It is not meant for this function, if that's your intended purpose its best to get a DVD player

  • Personal videos on Apple TV  sound but no picture

    Hi,
    I'm an experienced Mac user but brand new to Apple TV, just arrived yesterday. I have some personal videos not purchased through iTunes that I keep in the iTunes library as "TV shows". They all play fine when I click on them in iTunes at the iMac. When I synched the Apple TV to the iTunes library, many of these videos did not play properly--the audio was fine, but no video. Again, they play normally on iTunes, but something apparently got lost in translation to the Apple TV. The video codec for these is MPEG-4 and I have gone under "Get Info" and labeled them as "TV Shows", so that they appear under the appropriate list on the Apple TV menu, but the video is simply absent. Other videos work fine, so it doesn't appear to be the unit itself. Any thoughts on what might be done to these personal videos to make them compatible with the Apple TV? Thanks.

    Winston,
    Thanks for being willing to help me. I discovered a common thread in all of the videos that failed to make the jump to Apple TV. Turns out that they were all converted using iSquint, and the version used apparently had a flaw that made Apple TV transfers screw up like mine. I went to the iSquint website, downloaded the new version that specifically addresses this issue, and everything works fine now. Thanks though!

  • Airplay only sound but no video

  • HT204291 I can hear sound, but no video

    I just hooked up my Apple TV - I have an iPhone 4 and I'm trying to do mirroring and I can hear sound, but no video.  Any suggestions?

    It Depends on the app you are trying to airplay. Most apps do not allow content to airplay with video and will disable the video so all you will hear is the audio. If the app you are using does not have a built in airplay function and you have to use the iphone to make it work than most likley that is the case as I described above.
    It has to do with copyright protection and what the app is allowing apple to do.

  • I just got my replacement ipad last night. when i got home and tried the applications, there is no sound. but the videos do have sounds.

    i just got my replacement ipad last night. when i got home and tried the applications, there is no sound. but the videos do have sounds. i already checked the settings. i cannot find what's causing it. please help.

    You may have already checked the settings, but it still sounds like you have system sounds muted.
    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Podcasts play sound but no video??!!

    I subscribed to some podcasts on my iTunes today, and uploaded them to my iPhone. I'm beginning to get frustrated, as multiple podcasts from different subscriptions are all doing the same thing, they play the sound, but the video is frozen. I tried resetting the phone, same, re-uploading the same podcasts, same, and re-downloading and uploading new ones to the phone and the same... Should this happen after spending 700 on the 8gb with taxes and accessories? This is the first issue, and I am apple dedicated, but this is ridiculous! Help!

    afinite,
    Podcasters do not have to make podcasts with video. if they do have video they do not have to be compatible with the iPhone.
    This article gives more information about podcasts.

  • Ipod classic sound but no video

    Hi,
    I'm hoping someone can help me with this, for it is becoming rather frustrating to deal with. I finally got a new universal dock for my new 160 gb ipod, along with a dynex a/v cord to hook up to my tv to watch various videos. I get everything hooked up, switch the video out to yes, and I get the sound, but no video. Does anyone know what is going on or what I am doing wrong (if anything)? To error on the side of simplicity, I will assume it is something on my end, but I want to make sure before I take the dynex a/v cord back. Oh, the a/v cord is composite, by the way, for that is the only connection I can use easily, without dismantling everything, but I would think that would work just fine.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Greg
    ps. I have a feeling that since the a/v cable connects via the headphone jack, and since video is disables thru this, that may be the reason. Again, any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    I just wrote this in response to another topic about the classic and the video out so I figured it might help here. Maybe if we all say enough about it apple will fix the issue so we can use our items. This is rediculous that it would not work with items that have already been purchased, even items purchased that apple resells in the store seem to have issues. Check out the article that I found and posted below.
    I am having the same problem but with my philips dcp750 that I recently purchased. I was able to use it with my old 30gb iPod video but can not get it to work with new classic. The problem is that I can't switch the classics settings to turn the iPod's video out to on. I did some searching on the web and found out that with the new classic it seems apple has hidden from everyone that you can not use the video out anymore unless you use some type of special unlocking mechanisms that will be built in units. It may work with some items but it looks like apple does not want it to by default. Here is an article I found about it while doing some searching why it wouldn't work. Not sure if this is being rectified in a new firmware update or it is actually purposely done by apple. I hope they are going to fix this because I would not of purchased a new classic if I had known that it would not work with the items I have for it.

  • MPEG2 Sound but NO Video on playback

    I have QT Pro w/the MPEG2 Plug in (both current version) running on OSX 10.4.11 and when I try to open/play a file I get sound but no video. The file works fine with VLP and if I use Handbrake to encode the file in MPEG4 it will play. Why doesn't the MPEG2 file play? That's why I bought the plug in... Is there some other magic that needs to be done?

    I looked at the encoding and it was MPEG so now at least I understand the QT not playing part. Yes the original file was from TIVO downloaded via TiveDecode Manager. I was hoping not to have to do any more encoding to get it to play in QT (want to use a Mac Mini as a Media Center). Using Handbrake I can encode to MPEG4 which does play just fine, it just can take hours to encode. If anyone knows of a better way please let me know. I know on solution is to use VLP as the player but it's not supported in Front Row (from what I can see). Thanks for the help Matti..

    Hi

I wanted to watch the movie files on my PC. I installed the latest Quicktime for Windows XP Pro it opens the file, has sound but no Video.
    If I insert the DVD back in my Macbook Pro I can see the Movie files and they play just fine.
    Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks

    You'll need to "export" your iMovie Projects to QuickTime formats for use with a PC.
