Movie playlist shuffle

When I make a playlist of movies, I can't get shuffle or repeat to work. Any ideas why?

Thank you.  This solved my problem too.
But, one little thing to share:
"There's an option in settings for Playlists. It was set to Music only. Changed that to All then found the movie playlist under Movies by selecting Genre."
This is not to be done in iTunes in your computer; this is to be done at your apple TV under "setting". "audio video" "show playlist" "music only/all"
I am posting this here because I started chat mode with Apple support last night at midnight till 1:30, they didn't know what to do.
They called me back this morning at 10 am.
It's not 11:40 they finally know what I am talking about and showed me where to to find the "music only / all" toggle.  My problem is now fixed;
all these time, they have in front of them a screen shot of your questions and answer but they don't know where to change it from music only to all.
So, I hope this will save the next victim a lot of time.
Again, thank you.

  • Remote App 3.0 Movie Playlist

    Recently upgraded to Remote App 3.0, along with an ATV upgrade. Glad to see the WiFi issues have been cleared up. new problem however is that Movie Playlists will not start the movie.
    Scenario is:
    Load Remote App 3.0
    Connect to "Office" Apple TV
    Select "Media Server" from Home Share
    I do no select any specific category, and I am presented with all my Playlists
    Select Movie from any playlist (Smart or no) the movie will not start
    Anyone else running in to this problem.
    If I look under specificly the "Movies" section in the Home Share, the only options I have are Unwatched, All Movies and Generes.
    When using the navigation controls and having the AppleTV it self view the play lists (after enabling the option to see Playlists in all areas) I am able to use the Smart Playlists I have been able to use. This would isolate the issue to Remote App 3.0
    The question is, why won't the latest Remote App start a movie from a playlist?

    Issue confirmed.
    Resolved with remote update 3.0.1

  • Unable to load movie playlist?

    I'm really starting to regret Upgrading to Director 11. I
    didn't have any of these issues going from MX to MX 2004. All I'm
    trying to do is make a simple projector work on a Mac and it's one
    issue after another. Not to mention all this after updating a whole
    boat load of Xtras 11 requires.
    The new one is this;
    Unable to load movie playlist. Does the INI file exsist? It
    must contain a section '(Movies)' with an entry
    'Movies01=pathname.dir'.
    I've already read a couple of other forum post with the same
    error message going on with others but can't find certain files
    required to make the fix like the 'Projec32.skl',
    and I don't know how to read, let alone make an .INI file.
    I'll mention I got this error after updating to Shockwave 11
    EVEN though I was not publishing a Shockwave movie.
    I know I just need to include a certain file on my CD when I
    burn one because all works great on the desk top, but I'm throwing
    darts trying to figure out what the CD burn is missing.
    So to make a long story short does anyone know what I might
    be missing?
    I'm new to making director movies for the Mac, and even using
    a Mac so I might need it spelled out a little more for being a
    novice.
    Thanks in advance. :o)>
    PS I tried making a Mac Projector from my PC with no good
    results either.

    This is a very frustrating problem.  I have run into it as well, but can't tell you exactly how I solved it, its been a while since I've seen it.  It does have something to do with the length of the path to your projector when its published.  I would suggest moving your movie as close as possible to the root of the drive, you may even want to restart to ensure all the internal variables have been reset and then republish the movie.
    If you publish the movie from your authoring location and then copy the projector to a cd or the desktop the path length seems to be built into the projector at publishing. So that does not solve the problem.  It is fairly easy to get a long path name - c:/mylocaldrive/documents and settings/yourusername/yourprojectsfolder/yourprojectname.dir has a path name length of 100 characters!  I realize you are on a mac, but the same rules apply.
    I also might be mistaken with the maximum path length.  Perhaps its 128 characters?
    Has anyone else run into this error?

  • Playlist shuffle problems

    I'm having issues with playlist shuffling on my iPhone 4, and the only discussion I found with the same problem remained unanswered.  I have a playlist of various classical music that I want to shuffle randomly, and it won't.  If I play it in order, all 53 songs will play and can repeat in order.  If I select "Shuffle" from the list of songs, or if I hit the blue "shuffle" icon on the cover art, it changes from "1 of 53" to either "1 of 8" or "1 of 9" (depending on which song happens to be playing).  The smaller groups don't seem to be based by artist or by album, but I can't get it to shuffle all 53 songs. I tried making a smart playlist by genre, and I tried making the playlist manually.  Nothing seems to work.  I have another mixed playlist with various artists and multiple albums, and it functions normally: I can get it to shuffle randomly through all 51 songs across albums and artists no problem.  There must be some property of the music files or the playlists that I'm missing that's causing this bug, but I'm at my wit's end.  Any suggestions?

    Do all the songs in your playlist have a check in the box to the left of each song's name?  Songs without a check will be ignored unless specifically selected to play. If you don't see the checkboxes, go to iTunes > Preferences > General and check "Show list checkboxes".
    To check or uncheck all boxes on a Mac with one click, hold down the Command (cmd) key and click on one of the checkboxes with the mouse.  You can use this in a library, a playlist or in search results.
    If the check marks are not the source of your problem, select one of the songs that won't play when shuffling. Open the song's information window (cmd + I or File > Get Info) and click the Options tab. Check that "Skip when shuiffling" is not checked.

  • Movie playlist in iTunes is not showing up on ATV3

    I created a Movie playlist in iTunes with 3 trailers and a movie. I can view the playlist fine in iTunes. When I go to my ATV3 the playlist does not show up anywhere. There is no playlist option under movies and the playlist doesn't show up when I select playlists under Music.  I can access my music playlists fine and also the movies. It's just this Movie playlist that is missing on the ATV. Where do I access a Movie playlist on ATV3?
    iTunes version: 11.0.1
    Apple TV software: 5.1.1

  • Is there a way to make movies playlists in itunes 10?

    I would like to be able to make a playlist consisting of movies without having to change info to make them into music videos. If there were a sperarte music video category in the itunes library section, that sure would be neat. But instead there is a music video playlist where the music videos will be, but they also show up in the Music library which I do not like or want. So is there a way to make a movies playlist w/o them ending up clogging the Music section of my itunes library?

    You can make a playlist that contains any combination of audio and video from the Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books (Audiobooks) and Podcasts sources. If you really object to the music videos appearing in Music, either make them Movies, or perhaps better yet, TV Shows and give them a common Show name to group them together.

  • Movie playlist now missing on iOS 5 for iPad

    Is anyone aware if Apple will be bringing back the ability to create movie playlists as was available on iOS4?  What a bummer.

    Sorry, but no one who would know can discuss unreleased software such as iOS 5 in these forums. We'll have to wait, probably for the official release, before such details will be known.
    Regards.

  • With the new version of iTunes, I cannot seem to have the playlist shuffled so that it is shuffled when downloaded to a CD.  Please help.

  • Video playlist and movie playlist

  • Any way to convert a file from Movie playlist to TV show playlist?

    Hi, I just uploaded a few tv shows from my computer to itunes, but unfortunately, the tv show i uploaded went to the Movies playlist.
    I cannot drag the file over to tv show no matter how hard i try. It stays on Movies.
    Is there any way to change this?
    Thanks!

    You can right click on the title, and choose GET INFO, there's a tab there, i think it's OPTION and choose TV SHOW (default is on MOVIES)

  • Syncing Movie Playlists?

    In the past, I've always had specific playlists in iTunes that I would add/remove songs and movies from then sync directly to my iPod (just in case something happend and I lost everything on the iPod I could just sync right back to where it was).
    But now with the iPhone 3G all I can do is scroll through a list (in my case, an extremely long list) of movies and put a tick next to the ones I want on my iPhone - this gets very annoying very quickly.
    Is there a way to sync movie playlists directly to you iPhone 3G?

    No way.
    iPhone only recognizes one Movie list, the same for TV Shows.
    If you want to create a Movie list in the iTunes you use to sync your iPhone, it won't be recognized either.
    The Movies are treated as if they were in a solely single list that you can't modify... at least that you modify the name of every movie in iTunes to make them appear in different order.
    I am agree that it is a must to have a way to manage movies in different lists. But, at this moment, it is impossible.

  • Making A Playlist Shuffle?

    Is it possible to make a playlist shuffle, so you can add all the music and it won't play the same band till all the songs you chose are through with that artist?

    Ya, in the iPod settings, if you set it so it shuffles music, your playlists will be shuffled as well. At least it certainly is working that way on mine. Even when I pull up an artist and a specific album to listen to, it shuffles that album. So in my experience it is the iPod's setting that determines if shuffles is ON or not and if it is ON, then everything gets shuffled, library, play list, album, etc.

  • ITunes playlist shuffle feature

    I have always found the iTunes playlist shuffle feature fails to play all my songs and only accesses a narrow selection and then repeats thes without ever playing a broad selection of my playlist. Is there a way to overcome this?

    Yes. Go to SETTINGS > SHUFFLE, and set it to SONGS. Then, go back, highlight the name of your playlist and press PLAY. It will play just that playlist, and it will be shuffled.
    CHeers!
