Problem playing Podcast video

My video podcasts are not playing properly. I get about 3 seconds of audio and that is about it no video. I f I hit the rewind button it just go's back to the end. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no luck.

I just started having this problem on Friday afternoon, with no changes to my system information. Most of the video podcasts just show their album cover (if available) while playing the audio without video.
I also have a similar problem that could be unrelated, but might give some insight into the cause of this problem.
Before this I've noticed that as podcasts finalized download in the queue the video and audio in the pocast I was listening to or watching would stop, for as much as 10 seconds, while iTunes processed the podcast and brought it into the Podcast window. Once it was there and nothing was being downloaded everything was fine.

30G video iPod not playing podcast video

My video iPod won't play podcast video. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I just recently upgraded iTunes, but I was having the problem before that. Any suggestions?

My video iPod won't play video files. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I used to be able to play the same video files before. When I do a "Get info", the files are of MPEG-4 type. Any suggestions?
By the way, I have played around with the video settings also.

IPhone Doesn't Play Podcast Videos

My iPhone doesn't play podcast videos - it shows a static picture then plays the corresponding audio, is this a configuration issue in iTunes or iPhone - or is this a disappointing defect? Thanks ...

Not so much a bug, but a difference in behavior from the iPods.
In the iPod, you can make a playlist under Music->Playlist and it can contain both audio and video files. It will play the audio files fine, then the audio-only of the video files in the list. Having videos in a music playlist seems like a bug, but this "feature" allows you to just hear audio of video files if you desire (like listening to a movie without running the video screen).
If you go in to Video->Playlists instead, you play audio, then switch to video when it hits a video item in the list.
On the iPhone, the concept of Video Playlist is unavailable, only a playlist via TV Shows. So, I can't do it like I've been doing it for the past year or so on my iPod with Video.
I'm working on workarounds right now. I tried toggling all the vidcasts to "TV Show" video type, so they can be added to a TV Show playlist, and that sorta-works but isn't graceful (if I can make it work, I'll provide an iTunes script to do this for us).
I also found out by downloading the podcasts (check them off specifically) they can be made to show up in the video section, but just having them in an Audio Playlist isn't enough.
More research...

I am having problems playing my videos from my iphone on my laptop

I have an iphone 5. I have not yet updated to ios 7. I am having problems playing my videos from my iphone on my laptop. the sound is jumpy and the playback is slow/jumpy. i have tried various players but none seem to be able to play back properly. Help!

Hello Bagpus113
Check out the article below to troubleshooting issues with the sound for music and for videos. One other thing you can try is to convert the songs to a different format

G"Green Screen" codec problem viewing podcast videos in full screen! HELP!

I love the show "Surface" on NBC so I decided to download the first pilot episode #101 to iTunes for Windows on my computer. When I go to "full screen" mode to watch the program it goes to a "green screen" washout that is common when Quicktime is installed whether the version 1.68 alternative or the Apple Quicktime. How do I solve this common known problem?

I have the same problem, anything I try to do in full screen just pops right back down to the previous screen. If I play a video I can hear it, but I can't see it.

Problems playing itunes videos continuosly in Full Screen

Hi guys,
I have a small problem. I started to buy Videos in itunes music store and building my own MTV. So far, so good. My problem started when I started to buy some DVDs, converting the videos to MP4 format and then adding them to my itunes library. I have kept the same resolution than the original itunes videos, but I have changed the frame rate to have a little bit more quality.
When I select a video, iTunes plays it in full screen (as it is selected in the preferences). If the second video is another original iTunes, it continues in full screen. But as soon as one of the non iTunes videos starts, it goes to the main window and plays the video in the small section at the bottom-left of the screen (selected as "Now Playing"). Then, the next video goes back to full screen, even if it is a non-itunes one. It is very anoying since I have to put it back in Full screen manually.
Does anybody have the same issue? I am using the last release and patch level of Mac OS and itunes. I think that it might be related with the way that I imported the videos (using Handbrake 7). May be I need to use exactly the same format that Apple uses in itunes. Does anybody knows the exact video format that Apples uses? Do you think that it may be related with issue?
One last point. I have experienced the same problem in two different Macs. One Power PC and one Intel... I have already given up...
Thanks in advance for your help,
G. Acilu

I HAVE THE SOLUTION!
I too was experiencing non-full screen playback between music videos / movies. I discovered that this only happened if I had en EQUALIZER setting for the music video / movie. Once I had NONE as the EQUALIZER setting my music videos / movies all played back full screen from one to the next.
Change your settings in the equalizer column as suggested and see if this works for you. It solved my problem, although I do not have my desired equalizer settings in operation!

Problem downloading podcast video

Father christmas was very generous this year, in fact he braught me a nice little iPod video 30gb. I have a little problem though.Once l downloaded a podcast video,and l try to open it a message comes up telling me that the file is corrupt or unreadable by iTunes. Please note that l have the latest version of iTunes i.e iTunes 7.0.2 so it's not a version problem. pleaaaaaaase l beg you help me in my distress having such a nice toy and not being abble to profit fully of it is very but VERY frustrating.
Thank you
iPod video 30gb

no the podcaster is still on. i'm downloading some as we speak. Anyhow i've found the converted podcast in the movies library. Still like to know why i can pop them straight onto the ipod without converting though.
new thing i noticed. New converted podcast has 610MB where as original podcast was only 268MB?

Problems playing certain videos in Front Row

I just got my new iMac G5 the other day, so this has been my first week experimenting with Front Row, which I ADORE by the way. On to my issue, though...
I have many tv shows in iTunes -- Law & Order, King of Queens, South Park, and Family Guy, mostly. Whenever I open up Front Row to play a video, the only selections I can choose from are Law & Order and Comedy Central Standup (the Comedy Central one is the only one I've purchased through iTunes -- all of the other ones have been ripped from my personal collection). Anyway, all of them are set as "tv shows" in iTunes... and yet only those two show up. Any idea what's going on? I'd like to be able to access ALL of my videos.
Thank you!

Are they showing up under Movies or just not at all?
If they are in the Movies (or any other FR Menu) it could be due to how the person who posted them for download compressed / handled them - you can try this on one to see if it makes it show up in TV
http://members.verizon.net/pucklock/vIDInfiltr8/vIDI.html
If they are not there at all, it could be that although they play in Quicktime or iTunes that there is something in the original conversion causing a problem. I ran into that with a couple that I didn't do the actual compression on, and running them through iSquint using optimize for iPod and h.264 settings they then showed up under my movies menu in Front Row

Problem playing youtube video on Firefox Android without their app

Step to reproduce: 1. uninstall/disable youtube App on your mobile device 2. go to youtube mobile site 3. try to play any youtube video.
Result: The Firefox black out and freeze.
My user agent is "Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Tablet; rv:23.0) Gecko/23.0 Firefox/23.0"
Dolphin, Angel and Chrome browser plays the video in this condition so I'm guessing this is Firefox bug.
Is this an already reported bug?

On the Firefox browser, is the YouTube website you are visiting the mobile version of YouTube or is the desktop version of YouTube showing?
Thanks!

Why in the world is the most current version of firefox AND flash having TONS of problems playing hulu videos? either chewing the crap out of my processor but playing ok, or chewing the crap out of my processor and not even playing video at all?

used to be firefox and hulu got along just fine, never had my computer get retarded slow or any of the other things its currently doing while there's a tab open with hulu... but here lately its been eating the snot outta my processor (between firefox.exe and plugin container the two are consistently using 100% of my processor... most of it being firefox.exe itself)
and tonight i cant watch hulu at all. the video shows a frame then its another 10-15 seconds before another single frame is showed.
my firefox is the most current version.
my adobe flash player plugin is the most current version.
there's no reason this should be happening but it is happening and its friggin annoying
============================
this happens anytime i'm in the part of hulu that has the player for showing whatever episode i'm attempting to watch. when i attempt to watch hulu i have no other tabs open and no other excess programs running on my computer, and firefox+plugincontainer run my CPU to 100% just between those two processes. i can browse around the internet just fine (like checking my email, or even getting to my queue list on hulu, which i have my homepage set as.. the queue list loads fine but the player part of hulu is when things go to crap)
and i just tried the exact same episode of lie to me that i couldnt watch on firefox.... tried watching it on internet explorer and its playing perfextly fine EVEN WHILE FIREFOX IS OPEN.
firefox is my preferred browser and i hope this junk can be fixed somehow.

Problem Playing music videos

I just bought the Apple TV and downloaed 76 music videos along with a playlist for the videos. I go through the menu to play the music video Playlist. I have 2 problems here.
1 - Within the playlist, the shuffle feature won't work. I get a message that says the song can't be played.
2 - When I select and play the first song on the playlist it plays fine but when it is over I have to manually play the next song...which *****. hat am I doing wrong - or what do I need to do to have the ATV play the entire playlist of music videos without my intervention?
HP Windows XP

I agree this is crazy, and surely an easy fix for Apple. It's also a problem in Frontrow which I'd hoped would be fixed for Leopard. Perhaps it will be, but given that Frontrow 2.0 is meant to be identical to the Apple TV interface I'm not too hopeful.
Here's something interesting though... try a google search on "front row playlist popcorn". What you get as the top hit is a link to Apple's page on the iMac, which includes the line "hit play and pass the popcorn". Fine. BUT... look at the google preview of the page before you click on that link. It says something different: "Put together a humorous video playlist and pass the popcorn."
Looks like the page once contained false advertising and was then edited by Apple. Even they're copy writers couldn't believe they had to check whether it played video playlists!

Problems Playing Flash Videos w/ Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash 10,1,82,76

When I go to www.yankees.com or any other MLB team site, the videos don't play. All I get is a black area where the video would play. However, when I go to Youtube.com, videos play just fine. What could the problem be. This only started after I went to FireFox 3.6.8.

HELP - Problem Playing Music Videos on 5G iPod

I've downloaded 3 music videos to my 60 Video iPod. I've watched all of them recently but today i've got no sound or no picture but the video playlist is still there and the iPod starts to play them but i just get a black screen with the white play arrow and i can alter the volume.
Any ideas or help please???
Many thanks

If the audio for movies plays through the headphones and you see "Now Playing" on the iPod screen with a progress bar, but the video does not appear on the iPod screen, then you may have the TV Out video setting turned on.
To change your TV Out setting so you can view video with your sound:
Navigate on your iPod to Videos > Video Settings
Select TV Out to set it to Off or Ask.
If the issue continues, make sure you are accessing the video through the Videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist, you also won't be able to see the video.
