Music Videos Random mode

The new iOS7 appears to have removed the ability to watch music videos on full screen through the Music app,
and the Video app will not allow videos to play in Random mode.
This has always been an issue with the iPads, but has now spread to include iPhone as well.
How do you watch music videos in Random mode?

You're correct as there is no Apple here in this user to user technical forum.

If you add music videos to Up Next playlist, then go to look at the album cover playing screen, then go to add another song from different playlist, you no longer can see Up Next, just go to full screen mode button. Using remote app iPhone 5 to play out of iTunes. It looks like it works fine for regular music, but for music videos you can't see your up next unless you go back on the computer to change once you've left the screen. When using the remote app, you shouldn't need to go to iTunes on the PC to view or edit Up Next already added. See first image, you can hit upper right and get back to Up Next (second image). Third image is music video, where you can't get back to Up Next, just swap between full screen and not. I hoped 3.0.1 would have the answer, no luck!

wow, very nice review Makes me want to get a vision for myself.

Add the ability to randomly select a new background from a pre selected group of photos every time the player is turned on or each day.
I would love that feature. I can't stand useing my computer with a single wall paper anymore (I have 500 anime pics that i rotate between every 2 mins ) If you could make the vision rotate background every x minutes or every time the player is turned on, it would be totally amazeningly sweet!!!! (i might have to go out and buy one then :P)
I just hope that creative has better firmware support with the vision than they have had with the touch.
Once again, great review

Random CPU spikes while playing a music video

I'm using Quicktime 7.6.4 on XP Home SP3 to play music videos I got from ITunes. I'm using an AGP Nvidia 7600 GS with 256 MB of memory so it finally draws fine without half-frame refreshes but now I have a new problem. I only have an athlon 64 3200+ in my socket 754 board. It's the third fastest one they make for this motherboard but still, not exactly the quickest in the world. Playing a video in Quicktime only takes like 45% of the processor though so I thought it was fine for smooth playback. But randomly while playing any of these music videos, the CPU spikes to 100%, 95% of it being Quicktime's process, only 3% hardware interrupts so I know it's not a driver issue, and the whole computer locks up for about 3 seconds. Video suspends playback followed by the audio. Then right after that, playback resumes like normal. It can do it in the middle or end of the video or pretty much whenever or even not at all sometimes.
I've updated the BIOS, all related drivers, XP itself, and there's about 55% ram free whenn it does this so needless to say, it seems to be Quicktime's problem, not my computer. Even the voltages are good and also it doesn't lock up any other time using any other software, even VLC in dual monitor mode with direct X as the renderer.
So does anyone know what causes the sudden CPU spike? Is it running out of video memory so it has to ask the CPU to address more all at once or something? Or is it just calculating something that requires tons of resources and my computer isn't fast enough.
The only other unusual circumstances are that I have it configured to play on monitor #2 (which is actually a projector) while fullscreened and then as soon as it's done playing, it snaps back to the original monitor the quicktime window was opened on. It's really smooth and professional looking seeing as how my desktop background is black. I just hit control F, it plays with the video control overlay disabled, and then when it's done it goes back to black and they never see the quicktime window itself. So that's my current configuration in case there's some sort of known dual monitor issue. Either way, I need this thing playing videos smoothly ASAP! So does anyone know how to fix it?

I have the EXACT same problem and I have yet to find any
resources on this subject. It's as if flash videos and games just
decide that they will rebel against my computer every 30 seconds.
I've also closed down all other programmes, and with a dual core
1.6 ghz processor in addition to 2 gb of ram, this
should not be a problem, but surprise surprise it is.
Someone here at adobe has to have a clue as to what is going
on.

Why can I no longer watch music videos in full screen mode via a playlist in the music app since upgrading to ios7?

Since upgrading to ios7 my iPhone 4S no longer allows me to watch music videos in full screen mode when I select the clips via a playlist from the music app.
It's now more necessary than before to use the music app rather than the video app to select music videos to play. That's because the video app doesn't list music videos by artist any more. And also because the fast forward and rewind buttons on headphones remote no longer work on videos.
How do I watch full screen videos when rotating my iphone now shows my music library rather than showing the video itself?

I do not think it is a problem to play videos in the full screen mode using the video app. It should work just fine, it does work ok for me on iphone 5. The original question was to play music videos in the music app. Music videos and videos are two different things - I am not sure why but they are.
The problem here is that the music app supports lists and the video app does not. I just looked at the ios7 video app and while my few test videos are shown in it, the lists they were in (in iTunes) are nowhere to be found. There is no lists in the video app - period - which is as it was before.
The video app plays videos and music videos in the full screen mode no problem but if you have a few hundreds or more of such videos you will have hard time finding the one you want to play. There is simply no way to categorize or group videos. The old good folders/directories are, I guess, too simple for Apple. It is just too bad that for years on end the world's leader in S/W development did not offer anything to categorize videos.
You have lists, albums, etc., for music, you have albums for pictures but you have absolutely nothing for videos. And this is and has been the Apple's state-of-the art solution for this problem - simply insist that the problem does not exist. Actually it is getting worse. Not only there is nothing to categorize or group videos but now the only way it could be done (by marking videos as music videos and using the music app) results in a mini playback area.
Soon this OS will be able to cook dinner for your but grouping videos... no way.
What is happening here???

HT2729 When I updated my apple phones with IOS7, the music videos can no longer be viewed in widescreen mode on the phone. When I turn the phone horizontal to see a bigger viewing of the video, album cover art pops up. Any idea how to change that? I hate

After the IOS7 updates, when we are viewing music videos on my phones I can no longer turn the phone horizontal to see a bigger viewing of the video. I can only see it widescreen in vertical mode which is much smaller. Now when you turn it sideways, it pops up album cover art and I hate that. Is there a way to fix that?

We are just users like you and don't know why Apple does what it does. This is not a place to "vent," it is a place to ask technical questions. As of now there is no way to change or modify the way these folders appear in Windows Explorer. You can provide feedback to Apple about this issue at this link: http://www.apple.com/feedback

Music videos in landscape mode ever coming back???

Dear Apple, I doubt you'll read this or do anything but I guess it's worth a try. It used to be that when you played a music video via the musof app on your iphone, it would display the video in landscape mode. Now, extermely inituitively, turning your phone to the side shows a selection of your album covers. No one wants that. I seriously can not think of one person. Looking in your own forums you have questions in 2013 asking to bring this back but no response has been given. That's called arrogance. This is not some big technical ask. It would take you little to no time so what gives? You say you care about the customer experience but between this and the iTunes library syncing issues I am beginning to question that.

Ipod Touch 5th Gen - Music videos contained in playlists don't display in full screen mode

I am using an Ipod Touch 5th Gen. I have music videos contained in different playlist that are utilized for a class where they are displayed on a large screen through a projector. When I playback the videos through the playlists, they don't appear in full screen mode. I didn't experience this issue with previous versions of the Touch. If I access the videos individually through the video icon, they display correctly.

That is how it works now. Make a suggestion to Apple to fix it by going here:

ITunes music videos playing small on full screen mode

Hi,
When I select full screen to play a music video in iTunes it doesn't play full screen but its seems about half the size it should be. Please could someone tell me how to get it back to playing in full screen mode again?
Thank you,
Amy

Hello Amy, welcome to the Apple forums.
Where did you get the video from?
Drag your video from iTunes, on to the Desktop to copy it.
Right click on the video icon and choose "Get Info".
A long window will open on your desktop. Look in the section "More Info:" then, directly underneath, "Dimensions" there will be some numbers there such as 720x480. Post the numbers you are seeing, here. It would also be helpful to know which computer and monitor you are using.

My music videos now only play in verticle mode not landscape since ios7

I have an iphone 5 and since I downloaded ios7 I now can't watch any of my downloaded music videos in landscape mode. If I turn it then I get the album list of my entire Itunes library when in landscape. Any ideas?

Wow! Absolutely speechless. I spent an hour and a half on chat with two different reps on Friday! I understand they have other bugs but this is the first time
Apple has really ticked me off. If it isn't a functionality lost ios7, this was a basic feature. If
How do you screw up a basic function just so we can see all of the album covers. That's an important feature I could care less about the album covers. I was basiCally told by the rep at apple to just deal with it.
I love being told that $500 dollars worth of videos can play one at a time and that in portrait mode they are an inch tall.
Deal with it! Totally ticked off at the developers! Then don't load the option of the playlist in the new iOS!

Will iOS8 allow music videos to play in landscape mode?

Will iOS8 allow music videos to play in landscape mode?

Nobody here would know as we don't have ios 8.

ITunes keeps playing music videos in fullscreen mode.

Hi, I'm having this issue with itunes 10.4
Everytime a music video plays on itunes it goes fullscreen!
Even if i'm using safari for instance, my space it's changed to the fullscreened video and it doesnt even show up, its just a black screen with the music in the background
And after the music video finishes, the next song starts in the Visualizer mode,
it won't go back to the normal window it's annoying
How can i change this?
I tried to find an option in preferences but couldnt find it

Try to set your preferred video size in the iTunes View menu > Video Playback > [Options].
This used to be in preferences. but now is in the View menju.

Cannot fast forward in music video mode. How can I accomplish this

Cannot fast forward in music video mode. How can I accomplish this. Cannot rewind either. Am I missing something? If I change the Music Video to TV Show or Movie can both rewind or fast forward. For now all concert videos are in Movies, which might be the right place for them, but kinda weird Itunes does this.

I am by no mean an expert and I'm sure there are easier ways to accomplish this... however one way is to do something like this:
-Use selection tool to select all blue background, soften the edges of the selection then delete the selection.
-Here you will have a white background and dull looking image with not the greatest edges.
-Zoom waaaay in and use a softer eraser brush on the edges.
-Use various sharpening, brightening, white levels adjustments to make your image prettier.
-Pay attention to the diamond, select the diamond with a selector tool and sharpen, etc. Consider adding a layer to add additional detail to just the diamond.
-Consider using the clone stamp to smooth out any markings on the silver tone band.

Automatically switching between Visualization and Music Video modes

While playing back a mixture of both music (mp3s) and music videos is it possible to automatically have the video output switch between the visualizer for mp3s and the music videos themselves?
Any help would be appreciated.
Eric.

I see about 30-80 MB memory usage increase while switching to fullscreen and it is falling back while switching back to normal mode.
I think the "freeing" of the memory is to agressive and produces such "lags."
@Adobe: This should be optimized with the next versions.
Update:
With the Plash Player plugin (Firefox Nightly/Opera Next) it is worse and with Active-X (IE9) it seems to be ok.

Album Songs & Music Videos not playing in order

I've just bought an iPod Touch. On my iPod Classic, when I play albums it runs in the order of songs, but on my iPod Touch it will say play Track 1 and when that song has ended it may play any random song like Track 7 then back to Track 3.
All the music videos I have play in the order of the alphabet from A to Z, not in the album titles I've selected them to play on.
I have Shake to Shuffle switched off on my settings for Music. I'm not sure how to correct this, as my music appears to be on some sort of Shuffle mode.

I just solved the same problem on my new iPod Touch (3G, 32G, if it matters). FYI, I am a complete newbie when it comes to iPods, and so please excuse me if I don't identify things by their correct names.
When the first song on the album starts playing, there is a screen with a volume slider on the bottom, and the name of the artist and album at the top. There's also a progress bar for the song near the top, and two symbols on the left and right side of the screen just below that progress bar. Try tapping the one on the right, with the two intersecting/curvy arrows, even if it's not highlighted in blue - I think it gets 'stuck on', and just doesn't show that it's on.
I did this after deleting all the songs on my iPod, or even after a full restore, didn't fix the problem.
I hope this works for you. I found some great live recordings (made legally!) on the Web recently, and they just didn't sound right shuffled.
