Playing QT movies in succession

I have a client that wants to know if there is a way to code the following:
8 qt movies , when one ends the second plays automatically until all play. Of course you can stop this manually.
I really do not know why the client wants this but I need to know if this can be done.
Anybody?

Anybody?
There are probably a number of ways to do this. You could use a media player that allows/includes "player Lists." Another option would be to link a series of QTL (QT Media Link) movies via the "QT Next URL" option if posted online. My personal preference for local file playback would be create a mini-Animator app that will play a group of movies (or a folder of movies) dropped on the application icon.

  • TS5148 When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported".

    When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported".  I have updated my Apple TV, tried restarting it, and have tried using my IPod Touch all without any luck. This display has worked in the past. This just happen a couple days ago.
    Any ideas out there?

    I have been successfully using my Apple TV with my iPad2 to access Netflix through airplay (mirroring) and suddenly it won't work.  It says "the connected display is not supported"  What's up?
    Also when I try to stream Netflix through my Apple TV menu on my television it says "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later.  But trying again later doesn't work any better.
    Now the only way I can watch Netflix is using my small iPad screen.  It appears the problem is with streaming Netflix through my Apple TV

    I think I solved the problem.....In Itunes, I had my iphone set up to update VIA wireless...Itunes scans and constantly searches..which was causing the video to freeze up...when I disabled or disconnected the iphone, I no longer have issues.
    If anyone else is....Disable any devices (ipads, Iphones, ipods)  that might be connected to itunes using the wireless method.

  • HT1657 I am going on a 2 hour flight. Do I have to be connected to the internet to play the movie?

    I want to rent a mivue on my MacBook to watch while I am in an airplane. I will not have an internet connection. Can I watch the movie without an internet connection?

    Please be aware of the movie rental's time limitation that you have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and once you start watching it, you have 24 hours to finish watching it. You may watch it as many times as you like during those 24 hours. It may be helpful to make sure the download completes successfully before you begin watching the movie.
    Once the download is complete you can watch it without an Internet connection. However, an Internet connection to the iTunes Store is required to authorize playback or activate the 24 hours time-limit of movie rentals. This means, only during the starting of the movie. Once you have started playing the movie rental, internet connection is not required. You can play anywhere without internet connection.
    You may need to validate the rental prior to watching so it starts the rental period timer and for that you will need an internet connection. You can probably do that by starting the rented movie while on the Airport Wifi or right before leaving home. You'll have 24 hours to watch the movie after you start it.
    For more information on movie rentals, you can visit:

    Note: 24 hours time limit is for United States customer only, while 48 hours for other countries.

  • IPad 2 to Apple TV: Cannot Play Movie - The Connected Device is not authorized to play protected movies.

    I am getting the 'Connected Device is not authorized to play protected movies' message.
    Here is my setup:
    From the iPad 2 I used iTunes to Rent a movie - Safe House in SD.
    I then used Airplay Mirroring to send the movie to my Apple TV.
    The Apple TV is connected to a Vizio V0370M HDTV.
    According to Vizio all of the HDMI ports have HDCP.
    When the movie starts I get this error message on the iPad.
    I have used this approach in the past with success.
    I rented a couple of episodes of HBO's True Blood and they played just fine on the Vizio through Apple TV.
    I believe some were in HD and some SD.
    Using the iPad with Airplay Mirroring is a very nice way to send content to the HDTV.
    I was hoping I'd be able to do this for anything that is on the iPad.
    Is there something wrong with my configuration? Or what I'm trying to do?
    Thanks for any help or advice!

    I had exact same problem and I have found a way to get round out!!!! Easy!
    So the reason it doesn't allow it to play is for security to stop piracy etc.
    Plug in the cable and VGA and aux cable and get everything set up so you are looking at the home screen.
    1) select Videos
    2) selected the film you want to watch
    3) click the little play button
    4) it will then come up with the message saying it can't play protected films blah blah blah
    5) WITHOUT clicking ok double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar and swipe left to reveal the control panel
    6) hold fast forward for a second or two and the movie with continue to play!
    Stay in the multi tasking bar with the control panel, The message will stay there but don't worry. Kick back and enjoy your iPad movie on the big screen:)
    I'm sure your saying thanks:) it was my pleasure realising I've outsmarted apples little security protection thing lol

  • ITunes won't play rented movie - authorization error

    Just rented a movie. Playing the movie gets the following error:
    "This computer is not authorized to play 'download.m4v'.
    If you purchased this song you can open your iTunes and authorize this computer to play this song by entering your Apple ID and password"
    It gives the button "OPEN ITUNES".
    The problem: itunes is already open and giving me this message!
    So i click "open iTunes" and get the following:
    "Waiting for iTunes to authorize this computer to play 'Download.m4v'
    iTunes will prompt you for a password. You will not be able to play the song on this computer until you successfully authorize it using iTunes"
    And nothing happens...
    Latest versions of 10.5 and iTunes being used.
    Note: iTunes is authorized since it plays my other purchased content (movies and songs)
    Any ideas?

    Hey olly,
    I frantically searched everywhere for an answer to this problem and finally found it. I don't know if you already got this fixed, but in order to have the movies play back correctly you need the most recent Quicktime update (version 7.4.1).
    Cheers, Derek

  • SAFARI doesn't play QT movies after update

    We did the 7 to 7.1.2 something update and now safari won't play the movies -- we just get a question mark! It kind of works in other browsers, just not safari. Anyone know how to fix it?

    Hello,
    I am reading with interest the post about quick time.
    I have been having terrible crash trouble due to shock wave plug in..
    i posted to another forum about this...
    however.. in my frustration, i moved a QT plug in, there were two in the drop down menu in safari, i did a search and found the plug and deleted it... and and now get an error message when i click on a web page..
    The page.... "Apple-Quick time attempted to load an Internet plug in named Quick time plugin 7.1.1, but the plug-in failed to load successfully".
    I tried to put it back from the trash, howver,, I think i put in in the wrong place. Does any one know the file sequence that the plug in should go into?
    Also, I checked the unistaller for QT.
    QuickTime 6.5.2 Reinstaller for QuickTime 7.0.1
    About this update
    The QuickTime 6.5.2 reinstaller will remove QuickTime 7.0.1 from a Mac OS X 10.3.9 system and restore QuickTime 6.5.2.
    Note: This reinstaller will only run on Mac OS X 10.3.9.
    My QT version is 7.1.1.. meaning that I cannot do this uninstall and reinstall?
    Many Thanks.

  • Can I play a movie from my ipod classic onto my ipad screen?

    I have a 160 GM ipod classic that holds all my movies.  I would like to buy a 16 GM ipad 3 but I know it won't be able to hold my movies.  Can I stick with the 16 GB ipad 3 but play my movies on it from my ipod classic?  I want to buy a wifi ipad and not a 4G one so when I'm driving in the car and I want to show movies to my kids in the back I won't be able to access the icloud or dropbox, etc.  Can I connect my movies from my ipod classic directly to the ipad with a cord to watch them on the ipad?

    So if I want to be able to watch all my movies or listen to all 50 GB of my songs I'll need to buy a more expensive 32 or 64 GB ipad and shuffle movies and songs in and out of it or else use the wifi and iCloud.  Is that correct? There's no way the ipad can access an external hard drive?

  • Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

    Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

    Hello all,
    I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
    So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
    So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
    Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
    Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

  • When I play a movie through iTunes, audio has no issues but video stutters and skips

    Hey everyone,
    I have a Dell 17R, Windows 8 64 bit, intel i7-3630QM at 2.4 GHZ, 8gb ram, Nvidia GT-650M at 1920x1080 using driver 320.49
    When I play a movie in iTunes, the audio works flawlessly but the video will be smooth for a few seconds, stutter and then skip small 2-3 second spots. I haven't noticed that the parts skipped are any more graphically intense than other spots and there is no discernable pattern.
    In the past, I have been able to play movies through iTunes with absolutely no problem but when I downloaded this most recent one a few days ago all of my movies have been experiencing the same issue.
    When I stream other videos from other sources I do not experience the same problems as I do when I use iTunes. Streaming 1080P over youtube or a similar services is no issue.
    I have updated my video drivers to the latest version as well.
    I am at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • TS3354 "To play this movie in HD, you must have a PC with a built-in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP."

    I recently reinstalled restored my Toshiba laptop with Windows 8 to factory condition.  I reinstalled iTunes, and now when I try to play a movie, I get this error message:  "To play  (name of movie) you must have a PC with built-in display or have it connected to a display that has built in HDCP."  This happens with both my downloaded movies and my iCloud movies.  It never did this before.  Any suggestions?

    I have the exact same problem. I watched both AnchorMan 2 and The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug a week ago on my set up. BenQ monitor ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series Video card. No issues. Then I reformat and all of a sudden my purchased movies give me that error. It's so frustrating.
    The odd part is for the Hobbit the itunes extras will start just like before, however I can't select a scene.
    How is there no response to this? Are we missing something obivous? A default setting? Driver?
    Help please!

  • Message: To play this movie in HD, you must have a computer with a built-in display ...

    I rarely use iTunes, prefer, for obvious reasons to own physical media (which is prompting this question). But I do have an iPad 4 so I have to use it.
    I bought a movie on iTunes and have downloaded it to a new brand new Windows 8 laptop. I am getting a message "To play this movie in HD, you must have a computer with a built-in display or have it connected to a display that supports HDCP."
    My laptop is running a display at 1366 x 768 resolution and it is hooked up to a separate monitor using the HDMI out to the DVI input. Why am I getting this message and what is the workaround? I don't think that it's right that I have to re-buy the movie in standard definition to to watch it.
    Also, as I have a 16 GB iPad, I typically don't have space available to store a 4GB movie but if I download the movie to my laptop and connect my iPad to my laptop, if I free up space will I be able to watch the movie on my iPad 4?
    You can probably tell I'm not a fan of iTunes. Why does Apple insist on making everything so difficult? The iPad 4 with Retnia Display is the only Apple product I own and previously I have played this movie on my iPad.
