Playing video via the native iphone movieplayer

Does anyone know how you can launch a video (m4v) using the native iphone movieplayer WITHOUT first launching safari?
I need to return to my app after the movieplayer stops.
Now, if I launch a movie with a URLRequest the app closes, launches safari and then starts the movieplayer.
When the movie is finished playing, the player quits and returns to safari.
I tried to find a "URL Scheme" which ios uses to launch apps directly, but couldn't find one that launches the movieplayer.

It's not possible right now. I dont understand why though. Adobe is doing an amazing job utilizing the native player with the new Digital Publishing Suite

Playing videos via the internet

Does anyone have any idea why I am not able to play videos on the internet? Can't play any on youtube, news web sites... any. Please help

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Some websites that deploy video have not enabled the feature. Visit www.apple.com and try one of the video those to test whether Airplay is working as it should.
If not ensure your software on all devices is up to date, restart them all and try again, otherwise you might have a network issue.

Problem with playing video via composite av cable on iPod classic 2009 model 160gb

Things went well, after purchasing the new Ipod classic 160 gb i tryied to watch movies on my LED TV via Composite AV Cable. I did it once. Everything worked correctly & I was able to see my photoes, watch movies. Today i tryied to connect it again to the TV via av composite cable. The TV Out was switched on. But i could hear only audio. No video. I tryied all possible configs for Ipod an for tv set & no result. If i choose on my Ipod to ask me first if i want to switch on the AV out, the Ipod shows me a message that i should connect the video accessory (but it is already connected!). If i choose simply to switch on the TV Out without asking me it will play either sound only on the TV, either the playback on the Ipod is ending after 20 seconds of show time.
Without AV Cable connected Ipod is working normaly in terms of video playback. Also the device is working normally with the ITunes.
Please help. Where is the problem. The AV composite cable? TV set? Or iPod itself?

Hi Rusbug,
I am having the same issue with my iPod Classic 160gb not playing video on the TV via Composite cable as you posted in march!
did you get a solution for the issue??
desperate to know what to do next.
thanks

My iPad 2 just stopped playing videos. The original comes with the iPad video icon opens with a blank black screen and does not repond. I have shut all apps, shut the computer down, but no good. Where to from here?

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then I normally suggest closing the Videos app via the taskbar and re-opening it, and then a reset by pressing and holding both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds unilt the Apple logo should appear - but as it sounds like you've alreadt tried that, then see if the spotlight search works.

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

Is there a note app that syncs with the native iphone notes app

Looking for a feature rich app to pull notes from the native iPhone app. I Like holding down the home button to tell Siri to take a note but want to do more with the note after she has taken it. Is there a note app that pulls from the basic iPhone notes app?

HT201177 I can't play videos on the web - they just stall - stop and start.

when I am playing videos on the web, Vimeo for example, they play for about one or two seconds and stall. Then they play another one or two seconds and so on for the entire video. I have no means of changing the download size in safari preferences. I am at a loss what to do. i know of no-one else with this difficulty and the Microsoft laptop on the same broadband router dos not have this problem.

Empty the Cache, and you can also try the RE-SET Safari option from the menu-bar.
Let us know if anything changes.

Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

HT201109 When I download my Final Cut project onto a DVD 3-4 photos are continually repeated throughout the presentation. If played back via the computer there is no problem

When I download my Final Cut pro project onto a DVD about 3-4 photos are continually repeated throught the presentation. If I play back via the computer this does not happen. It is the same photos repeated. I have taken loop off from view. Any assistance ?

I have two projects one with DVD and photos and the other just photos. The DVD is 20 mins and the photos just 8 mins.
I have tried to burn from the share dropdown menu ( DVD ) in FCXP and also tried download to media browser then used DVD creator to produce the DVD but the problem exists with both actions. I deleted the repeated photos from the presentation but another 3-4 different photos repeat. I hope this makes some sense .
thanks salty777

There are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline and wont play video in the program monitor.

After reconnecting some origianl files after a hard drive crashed, there are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline that wont play video in the program monitor. They do however play in the source monitor.

Those stripes are most likely the missing media indicators, which means you've relinked to the wrong clips.

How do you play videos from the "Videos" app in the background IPod 4G

Hey
I used to have an app which allowed me to play videos from the "Videos" app on my ipod touch 4th gen. But the other day I had to wipe my ipod and can no longer get this app. Is there any other app which imports your videos from the "videos" app or is there a way to play videos in the background using the "videos" app.
Anny help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Karl

You can only play videos in the Videos app when the Video app is on the screen. Video, and any audio with it, do not play when using another app.
You can try changing the Media Kind in Get Info>Option in iTunes on the computer to Music Video and see if that works

HT1535 The reference article in question says "Manually manage music and videos" but I only have the option to "Manually manage videos" via the iPad on iTunes. How do I actually manage music?

Edit: classic Apple.

If you post from a a question from the bottom of an article's page then you should get its reference, e.g. HT1535 in your case, on the post's title. The ability to edit you post only lasts for 15 minutes and allows you to correct/add extra info.
I get the 'manually manage music and videos' tockbox as described on that article. If you only 'videos' then are you using iTunes Match on your iPad ? I don't use it but I've seen posts that say having it enabled on a device can affect the syncing of music.

N96 only plays videos from the start

My N96 only plays videos from the start. Whenever I press the 'play from where it stopped' function the sound works okay but the picture isn't there. Also the same problem occurs when I try to fastforward or rewind videos. As you can imagine this is not much use when I'm trying to watch a film in stages.

Playing Videos on the Iphone

Hello,
Hopefully someone here can help me answer my questions. I deffinetly hope so.
I recently purchased an iPhone and created a couple movies (short, about 15-30 seconds) and put them on my webserver. I was able to play the movies fine via the iPhone, however if I password protect a folder that contains the movies I get an error message on the iPhone saying 'error playing movie'.
Their is no error authenticating when I attempt to go to the folder (brings up username and password screen, and allows me to go to the next page). I just can't play the movies if they are password protected.
Any help would be awesome.

Hi,
Now that the iPhone 4 is HD-compliant, I thought that YouTube videos would play the HD version of any video that has it available. However, when I did play a couple of videos that did have both HD and non-HD versions available, I observed clear pixellation on the video indicating that it was the non-HD version that was playing. Further, there seems to be no way of choosing the format of video that you want to play like it is on YouTube on the Net. the iPad seems to be playing the HD version of the same video, so it does look like it is possible...
Did you play the video on wi-fi? And if so, it should stream HD video.
