IPhone video playlist question

The videos in my iPhone video playlist do not always begin from the start. Any suggestions on how to correct this.

i don't get it. if you have a playlist of songs you want, why not create another playlist of just the songs you want to play at work in a work playlist, which you can then shuffle?

  • Video Playlists Question

    When I make a video playlist of favorite videos, the videos only play one at a time, and at the end of each, kicks me back to that playlist's window.
    Is there no way for the videos to play one right after the other non-stop, just like my music playlists?

    I think by default, videos (and podcasts) are set to "Skip when shuffling". If your iPod is in shuffle mode you can start one item but your iPod will stop if all the other items in the playlist are programmed to skip. Either turn shuffle off, or go into the tags of the videos and un-check the skip feature.

  • Can no longer sync movie video playlist after update?

    I recently performed the 3.0 update to my iPhone 3g with no apparent issues. However, I went to play a movie video last night and discovered that only my music videos had synced (all were previously on the iPhone with no problems). Checking the iPhone settings under video I noticed that the tab lists a section for movie rentals and TV shows but does not specifically call out movies that you own. Under tv shows is where I normally expect to select which video playlist to sync for which none were available (even though I have one with 3 movie videos in it). It looks like it handles tv show video playlists only which I have not tested.
    This is different from before the update where I could sync any video playlist I wanted. The videos were all downloaded from iTunes so there should be no issues or questions about format and source. Am I missing something? Thanks.

    after you connect your iPhone and go to the 'video' tab, if you scroll down, you should see your 'movies' section which should list the 'movie' files you have in the 'movies' section of iTunes. if you select the videos you want to sync, hit save/apply and sync, you should get the videos on your iPhone.
    video playlists will only sync files in the 'tv shows' category, not files in the 'movies' category of iTunes. i'm not sure why they did it like this, but they did, and it highly annoys me. my work around is to make all of my 'movies' go into the 'tv shows' category, which i can then add to a playlist and have it synced. more work, but it works...

    Version 11.1.5.5 of iTunes was just released today. If you update to that, does that help with the recognition troubles?

  • Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

    Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.  It gets weirder:
    When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top,  if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
    I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
    "If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
    I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.

  • Create Video playlists on iPhone???

    I tried to create a video playlist but the playlist wont show up on the iPhone unless I add music to the playlist.
    Anybody know how to organize videos on iPhone so you don't have to scroll down for 5 mins to find a video you want?

    I would have to think that playlists are all created in Itunes. But not sure.

  • On my iPad3, in the Music app, I can find my video playlists in my iTunes library, but they are all empty.  This works fine on my iPhone4.  Does anybody know what the problem is?

    BACKGROUND:  When I'm home, using my iPhone4 and MacPro/iTunes library, I've been watching video on my iPhone via the Home Sharing feature of the said devices.  I have lots of videos in my iTunes library, so I've set up lots of video playlists to help organize stuff, and also to more quickly zone in on the video I want to watch from my iPhone and AppleTV.   So here's the process I go through when I want to watch a video on my iPhone:  go into the Music app, then hit the "More..." selection (along the bottom right of screen), then hit the "Shared" selection, then hit the "Bob's iTunes Library" selection, then hit the "Playlists" selection (along the bottom left of screen), then find/select the video playlist of choice, then find/select the video of choice, then start watching.  Aside from the occasional spontaneous disconnect issue I've been having lately, it all works like a charm.
    (NOTE:  I tried the same procedure using the Videos app on my iPhone, but there doesn't seem to be a way to see the video playlists in this app.)
    TO THE PRESENT:  So when I got my shiny new iPad3 this Monday, the very first thing I did was try to replicate this process on the iPad3. Because both the Videos app and the Music app look very different on the iPad vs their iPhone counterparts, I tried this using the Videos app first, but ran into the same problem as on the iPhone - there's no way (as far as I can tell) to view/access the video playlists in this app – all I see are icons, one for each video.   I then tried the Music app, and steps are identical to the iPhone version.    I got as far as getting to see my playlists, and then selecting the video playlist of interest, but once there, no videos are in the playlist, only a single song(??).   In fact, none of the video playlists have any video files in them (some have song tracks??).

    Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
    Can somebody help me?
    Thank you

  • Video playlists no longer auto-playing (4.3)

    I've noticed that my music video playlists no longer auto-play from one song to the the next with the latest OS update (iPhone 4.3, Apple TV 4.2). Basically, a music video stops and the next one doesn't start until I press play again.
    Any solutions?

    I have the same problem.
    I am using an iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3) and various Apple TVs (4.2).
    When i start a playlist with music videos from the iTunes store, the first video will be played on the Apple TV and then Apple TV plays this Video again but "repeat" is not selected. Actually the next clip in the list shut be played. Seems to be a bug :-(

  • IPhone video sync quality to iphoto after iCloud photo library enabled

    I'm still trying to wrap my head around how this works.
    Since I opted to enable my iPhone 6 to optimize videos and photos that are stored locally on my phone, I presume this means that after I record a video, this will be synced to iCloud photo library in full quality, and thereafter removed from my phone, only to be replaced by a compressed version of the same video, and thereby reducing the amount of space needed on the phone to store the video in question. Correct?
    If so, why is the result of a manual sync with iPhoto a couple days after enabling the feature, all my videos in full resolution? I mean framerate, data rate and resolution is the same as it always has been and doesn't seem compressed in any way. I know how iCloud would compress the file because of the current download bug on iCloud.com also discussed on this forum that only makes it possible to download the compressed version of the videos even though it seems to store them in full quality. The compressed version is only 720p and about 3500kb data rate.
    Any clues? Maybe it's just a beta bug. I mean the videos on my phone should all be a compressed since I can see the at iCloud.com and thereby also sync to iPhoto in compressed form.

    Because IMO Apple has never cracked photo management, I organise all my photos on my MacBook and sync the photo's folder to my iPad and iPhone via iTunes. This gives me the organisation I require, but it means I cannot do much at all with the synced folder except view the photos on my iPad and iPhone.
    I just enabled the iCloud Photo Library on my iPhone, this deleted all the iTunes synced folders from my device, I expected it to upload all those photos to the cloud and then delete them from the device, but it actually just deleted them all and uploaded a few odd's and sods I had in my camera roll.
    I am currently unsure how to get my main photo library into the cloud as the Photos app is not yet available for Mac!
    So do not enable it if you manage your photos like me and you want your back catalogue!!
    I am very hopeful that Apple is about to crack photos management in an MASSIVE way, but until the Mac Photos's app come out continuity between iOS and Mac OS is still very broken.

  • Appletv will not repeat a video playlist more than 3 times via AirPlay

    Trying to AirPlay a video playlist from my laptop to apple tv and have it repeat.
    It repeats on laptop but will only repeats a few times on apple tv then stops and goes to appletv menu

    Both in-coming and out-going.
    Went through all the advanced settings with MediaTemple.
    They said everything is set up correctly.
    Again, the exact same username and password combination work perfectly when used to login via webmail.
    The same settings work perfectly to login to the same account via my MBP.
    I am only having problems with this IMAP account on my iPhone.
    Because the same username and password combination work perfectly on webmail,
    MediaTemple therefore says it's an Apple problem and sends me to ask Apple.
    I acknowledge it very well could be a problem on the server side, saying there's no problem with any iPhone and IMAP because you've had no problem with the iPhone with IMAP is pretty rich. Googling iPhone and IMAP problems pulls up a lot of results, many of them leading to other people having various problems here in these very support forums. The most infuriating response is when you talk to the hardware/software vendor (here), they always say, "no problem on our end, talk to your service provider" and when you talk to the service provider they say, "no problem on our end, talk to Apple." And everyone just points fingers at the other guy.

  • Apple TV video playlists

    I'm trying to stream music videos from imac to apple tv. If i drag music videos into a new playlist in itunes and go to the apple tv only videos from apple store show up in the playlist. My personal videos were encoded in mpeg-4 using "vuze" software app to encode into "apple tv formant". I even re-encoded into m4v using quicktime pro (since that is the format from apple store for music videos). I can see the videos in question in "movies" in the apple tv main menu and they play just fine but I want a playlist. All of my apple products are up to date, apple tv is running ver 2.4 Thanks!

    Select one, right click and use Get Info to change the file type to Music Video.
    You may also need to ensure the Options tab for Get Info has 'Skip when shuffling' or similar unchecked.

  • Apple TV Video Playlists? How do I create one?

    Forgive me if this is redundant question.
    My boss came to me and wants 500+ short 30 second commercials on an Apple TV unit. Now many these commercials are for a different products.
    How do I create a video playlist for each product?
    Or can I create sub-folders inside the video tab?
    Will the videos be searchable on Apple TV?
    I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
    Thanks so much.

    Found this after some research on this forum, originally posted by Winston Churchill.
    "If your long list of movies/clips includes content that can be grouped together, you can give the group a show name (Get info/video tab).
    Doing this will place all the items with the same show name in a folder in your movies list with the show name you have chosen.
    This is especially useful for grouping movies such as James Bond movies or multiple home video clips of a single or connected event that haven't been edited into a single movie, where it can replace several entries, thereby reducing the size of the movie list and conveniently placing all similar movies in a single location.
    For me, this has reduced my movie list to around 100 entries whereas otherwise it might be quite unmanageable at over a thousand - Most of my movie collection is home video, I am able to group such events as vacations/Christmas/Racing events etc etc etc."
    I just verified that this works with My AppleTV and it's exactly what I was looking to do.
    Marking this as solved.

  • How to create/org a Video Playlist?

    Hello everyone, I must say I really really like my new (video) iPod 60!! I have "rip" 3 videos into it so far, a recorded off-TV MTV of Madonna's "Hung Up", a recorded "Lost" episode and a DVD of Star Trek Enterprise, they all look good and sounds good on the iPod!!
    On the Main Menu > Video > Video Playlist, Movies, Music Videos, Video Podcast & Video Settings; How do you create new Video Playlist? I noticed all my "rip" video are inside the 'Movies' category... I guess only videos like music videos bought from the iTMS would go into the 'Music Video'??
    Thanks all and cheers!!
