Playing videos of an ipod via xbox 360

i was just curious as to if you connect like a normal ipod video with your xbox and go to the media>video tab on the xbox dashboard, can you play videos from your ipod via the xbox 360???? that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes and then i could watch them on tv via xbox 360 connection. let me know

that would definitely be legit cuz im always bumming movies off of my friends itunes
definitely NOT legit.
As to whether an xbox can handle this depends on what acessories you have. Apple and other companies make docks with A/V cables for playing video to TVs. If xbox can take those cables as inputs then it should work.

Problem using iPod with Xbox 360

I have always used my iPod to listen to music while I play games on my Xbox 360, until recently. My 360 no longer recognizes my iPod by name and it is just listed as something generic like external usb device and when I click on it there is no music on it. My iPod is otherwise fully functional when it is not connected to my 360 and my roomate's iPod still works fine with my 360 so i must have changed a setting or something, but I refuse to restore my iPod to factory settings and lose all my music. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm wondering if I should just go to settings, reset all settings. I'm reluctant to try this because I don't know if it will delete my music like if you restore your iPod. Any thoughts on any of this would be much appreciated.

Get this, I was fooling around and found a way to play songs from my iPod on my 360, sort of. When I click on portable device from my 360 or my iPod from my computer desktop three folders appear. Calendars, Contacts and Notes. If I drag songs from my iTunes library to any of these three folders within my iPod icon on my desktop, I can open that folder on my 360 and play the songs in it! The problem is that the sound quality is terrible and it doesn't use my iPod equalizer because things in these folders are not considered music so they are not treated like music when I click on them. In iTunes when I click on my iPod and it has a status bar showing my free space, music space, and other space on my iPod the songs that I put in the Notes folder show up in orange as taking up other space instead of music. Anyway this doesn't really solve my probem so I'm still open to suggestions and/or a number I can call for help.

I purchased an adapter for playing videos from my ipod touch on my tv. It works fine for episodes I have purchased from Itunes, but won't play videos from Hulu Plus. What should I do to remedy the situation? Thank you!

The iPod TV out only works for aps that support TV out. The description of Hulu Plus only states that iiPad supports HDMI video out (SD only)

How do I play video from my ipod touch on my tv

I want to play a downloaded video from my ipod touch on my tv, everything I've read so far talks about jailbreaking my ipod and this is something I really don't want to do. My tv has HDMI, USB and AV cable ports, I've tried plugging in via the USB with the standard cable but nothing happens, do I need a different cable or an app to make it work. Thanks.

You need an adopter, See:
iPhone, iPad, iPod: TV out support
iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
or using AirPlay with an Apple TV
Note that only the 5G iPod mirrors the iPod's screen on a TV. The 4G and below only display TV out with apps that support TV out

Sky video playout service isnt available xbox 360

I am having an issue with sky go on the Xbox 360 I can only view live tv when trying to play anything else I get the video playout error message. I have uninstalled and reinstalled app emptied the cache and formatted the memory could you please advise how to get this sorted please it's very frustrating.

Not sure if you are still looking. I have after about 3 months and ongoing discussions with Sky I have a fix for this! And since I never found it on this forum I 'll give this gem back. All you have to do is create a new user ID (you can have up to 10) in addition to your lead profile.Just register it as if you were creating a completely new account and sign in with this instead. You'll need your account number but this is on your original profiles homepage on my sky (if you're using sky go away from home like me) or just on your sky card in your box. Make sure you go through the whole process of verifying your email address and sign in with it on sky go on your laptop before you attempt with your console (took me a while to realise this) and it should work all fine!At least it did for me! Also just to clarify you will still have to use your old login for any bills, account management etc as the first one you create goes down as your lead profile.

Ipod on Xbox 360, some songs don't show up

I recently bought an Xbox 360, I have been using my Ipod to listen to music but some songs don't show up in Xbox playlist, particularly the music I have bought and downloaded from Itunes music store, Is it some kind of protected format, what can I do to fix it, any help would be great, thanks

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

Is there a way to play video on the iPod Photo with color display 60 GB?

Just curious. Can you download and play video with this model? It does about everything else. Any help that someone can offer me will be appreciated.

You can only play video's with the new 5th generation iPods.
Maybe the iSee (http://www.isee-ato.com/) is a good alternative for you?

Can´t play video in my iPod

I didn´t find anything about my problem in any other topic.
I´ve bought an iPod video. I can put music, photos and postcasts on it using iTunes, but the video doesn´t work.
I´ve read that the correct video format is mp4. I downloaded a program called "Videora iPod Converter" that turns any kind of video into a mp4 file.
So, i´ve created a video called "siimpsons16x6.mp4" from a video file with ".avi" extension. I can play the new video in the Quicktime or with iTunes. But when I put the video in the iPod, although there is no error, something is wrong. I disconnect the iPod, but i can´t find any video file in it.
Can anybody help me? How put your own videos into the iPod?
Thanks, and sorry for my bad english...

Your english is great, welcome to discussions.
You might have better luck on the 5th generation video iPod discussions. I don't have one, so no advice other than check over there

Can I play tracks from my iPod via Airport Express on only from my laptop?

I can play tracks from my laptop thorugh my Bose Lifestyle Airport Express. Is there a way to play tracks from my iPod Touch through my Bose system via Airport Express? My Airport Express is set up as a client to my Sky Broadband wireless router.

I set up my laptop to my Bose Lifestyle System via Airport Express. It may be different for MAC but I just downloaded the Airport Express software and followed the on-screen set-up procedure, which includes entering your WI-FI key. I do not have an iPad. You need to select Airport Express in iTunes as your sound media. This is easily switched by an icon in the bottom right corner of the screen. You will need to switch this back if you want to revert to using the laptop speakers.

Can't play video on my ipod 5gen?

Ok so yesterday I finally bought an apple ipod 5 gen 30G and was expecting to come home and simply upload videos and downloaded movies to it the same way as with songs. only problem is, It took me a while to figuire out how exactly to import My Fan made Movies into itunes, I used Videora iPod Converter. I converted my Fan made movies. It showed up and played fine in itunes but when I updated my ipod and tried to play the video (on my ipod) It simply shows a thumbnail and plays the audio!!
Now I got this ipod to play both audio & video but it's really starting to **** me off, thats where GT comes in.
Is there anyway to play fan made movies (created in windows movie maker) and downloaded full lengh movies (not from the itunes store but from torrents) on my ipod 5 gen????
And is it supossed to take a really long time to convert say a 50MB file? Im really confused.
Thanks-
MRBee
Edit: I just tried to sync the video to my ipod again and it said; ipod cannot play this file........WHAT?
Windows XP

"when I updated my ipod and tried to play the video (on my ipod) It simply shows a thumbnail and plays the audio"
On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.
Btw, I would recommend something other than Videora. Try Streamclip.
