Regarding Video Playlist

Is it possible to create a video playlist and have the videos NOT show up in the TV Show/Movies/Music Video categories?
I have video clips of various things and they aren't movies or tv shows.
Is there a way around this?
I've created a video playlist and added the video clips but they still appear in the Movies playlist.

Just to add more info to point 2) in my previous post. One of application I use is Ifiles. Video are not played with audio when they are selected from folders. Show me how to do

Video playlist?

i know how to embed a single video from youtube in muse, but how do i go about creating a video playlist of several videos?

Hi,
To do that you will have to embed certain code in your Muse file, which you can do either by Object->Insert HTML or Page Properties->Metadata.
Please refer to this page to find out how this can be done,

Making a video playlist

I was just wondering if anyone knew how to make a video playlist (say for like a party) in either itunes or frontrow. I've tried making one in itunes but it doesn't seem to play like a normal music playlist because it won't go to the next video. Also, i realize i can make one in frontrow by just loading only the videos i want in the playlist into itunes but this seems like a big hassle. I appreciate the responses

This works in my iTunes:
Video Kind is Music Video
Live Updating
Just started it playing on video then made that go to the end by moving the diamond that appears on the window when you hover the mouse. Moved on to the next track no problem.
Regards,
Colin R.

The scrolling works in the top window in iTunes as well if you don't have the video playing in a different window. All tracks have the tick box to the left of them selected.

Flash Video Playlist

I have the responsibility of overhauling the current flash
based video player for a major media company, and would love some
feedback regarding our playlist.
I was recently told that this type of playlist isn’t
indexable by google/yahoo and we have to move to a non flash
playlist.
Questions:
What other options do we have?
Third party controls?
I would prefer an ASP.NET solution since the player is
integrating with ASP.NET 2.0
Is there a way to use Flash/Flex so google can index the
playlist?
Does the playlist even need to be indexed, are they other
options?

– we currently have something similar to the discovery
channel.

First, I urge you to always read documentation before you write code. Believe it or not - it will save you a lot of headaches if you are familiar with classes that you use.
Documentation fro FLVPlayback is here:
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/fl/video/FLVPlayback.html
According to the class description in order for video to play you either need to call play() method on the instance of FLVPlayback or set autoPlay property to true.

Anyone else having problems with Video Playlist?

I've seen a few posts on the board regarding this problem, however none of which seem to be addressing the main issue. We're unable to create video playlists, at least not in the conventional way. Does anyone know if the iPod Touch simply doesn't support video playlists? I have a number of music videos that I have created a playlist for and on my touch it is automatically grouped in with 'Music' not 'Video' and therefore doesn't display any of the video content, only plays the music for the video. I know for certain that this playlist is valid, it works GREAT on my Video Ipod.
Has anyone had any success with creating a music video playlist? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

My music videos (files with "Music Video" chosen on the Kind tab) appeared at the very bottom of the Touch's video library all by themselves. The library list seems to have three sections: Movies at the top, TV in the middle, and music vids at the bottom.

Dynamic Video Playlist

Hi, I am new to Actionscript 3 and I have followed the
tutorial regarding creating a dynamic video playlist with
thumbnails. I created as the tutorial said and it worked fine.
Instead of their just being a title for a video, I have also tried
to add a description to each tileitem, but instead the title
repeats twice. Can anyone see where i'm going wrong? You can view

If anyone can help that would be brilliant.

I can't pinpoint where data.label derives from, but at first
glance I'd say the problem might be between the following sets of
lines...
desc.text = data.label;
desc.setTextFormat(textStyle);
info.text = data.label;
info.setTextFormat(textStyle);

Videos don't show up on iPod video playlist

Maybe I'm not understanding something, but I subscribe to a coupld of video podcasts. They update fine off iTunes and they synch over to my iPod. The problem is, they don't show up in any of the video playlists. They show up under the 'recently added' list of both music and video files.
How can I get these things to list in the Video Podcast playlist?? Thanks for your help and thoughts!

Julia,
Do you have a Fifth Generation iPod, or not?
Only Fifth Generation iPods are compatible with any videos, which include video podcasts that you try to download onto it.
So, if you have a Nano, for example, it isn't won't be capable of playing any video files, sorry.
If you're unsure what model of iPod you have, check out this article which has info about different iPods here: Identifying different iPod models

Thank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually. It gets weirder:
When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top, if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
"If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you

On my iPad3, in the Music app, I can find my video playlists in my iTunes library, but they are all empty. This works fine on my iPhone4. Does anybody know what the problem is?

BACKGROUND: When I'm home, using my iPhone4 and MacPro/iTunes library, I've been watching video on my iPhone via the Home Sharing feature of the said devices. I have lots of videos in my iTunes library, so I've set up lots of video playlists to help organize stuff, and also to more quickly zone in on the video I want to watch from my iPhone and AppleTV. So here's the process I go through when I want to watch a video on my iPhone: go into the Music app, then hit the "More..." selection (along the bottom right of screen), then hit the "Shared" selection, then hit the "Bob's iTunes Library" selection, then hit the "Playlists" selection (along the bottom left of screen), then find/select the video playlist of choice, then find/select the video of choice, then start watching. Aside from the occasional spontaneous disconnect issue I've been having lately, it all works like a charm.
(NOTE: I tried the same procedure using the Videos app on my iPhone, but there doesn't seem to be a way to see the video playlists in this app.)
TO THE PRESENT: So when I got my shiny new iPad3 this Monday, the very first thing I did was try to replicate this process on the iPad3. Because both the Videos app and the Music app look very different on the iPad vs their iPhone counterparts, I tried this using the Videos app first, but ran into the same problem as on the iPhone - there's no way (as far as I can tell) to view/access the video playlists in this app – all I see are icons, one for each video. I then tried the Music app, and steps are identical to the iPhone version. I got as far as getting to see my playlists, and then selecting the video playlist of interest, but once there, no videos are in the playlist, only a single song(??). In fact, none of the video playlists have any video files in them (some have song tracks??).

Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you

How do I prevent the video file name from showing up on apple tv looping video playlist?

Ok so here is my dilemma. I use my apple tv as a way to loop a video playlist on my tv for guests. I usually only have 2 videos that play and they loop continuously all day just fine. However, when one video ends and the other begins, the file name appears (I'm assuming it's the file name) at the bottom left corner as the video is starting. Is there a way to get rid of that? I want a streamlined experience and it takes away from the video. So, all in all I have an apple tv. I use it to loop a video playlist on a tv for people to watch in the background. When a video begins, the file name appears and I want to know if I can get rid of that through the apple tv. Also note both videos were edited in iMovie. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Is there a way to get rid of that?
Unfortunately not.

How can I create a Music Video playlist (for Universal Dock)?

Ok, I created a smart playlist of all my Music Videos but this is a music playlist.
I want a *Music Video* playlist so that all my music videos will play one after the other without user interaction (when playing in the Universal Dock with it's useless remote control).
Is this even possible?

Can no longer sync movie video playlist after update?

I recently performed the 3.0 update to my iPhone 3g with no apparent issues. However, I went to play a movie video last night and discovered that only my music videos had synced (all were previously on the iPhone with no problems). Checking the iPhone settings under video I noticed that the tab lists a section for movie rentals and TV shows but does not specifically call out movies that you own. Under tv shows is where I normally expect to select which video playlist to sync for which none were available (even though I have one with 3 movie videos in it). It looks like it handles tv show video playlists only which I have not tested.
This is different from before the update where I could sync any video playlist I wanted. The videos were all downloaded from iTunes so there should be no issues or questions about format and source. Am I missing something? Thanks.

after you connect your iPhone and go to the 'video' tab, if you scroll down, you should see your 'movies' section which should list the 'movie' files you have in the 'movies' section of iTunes. if you select the videos you want to sync, hit save/apply and sync, you should get the videos on your iPhone.
video playlists will only sync files in the 'tv shows' category, not files in the 'movies' category of iTunes. i'm not sure why they did it like this, but they did, and it highly annoys me. my work around is to make all of my 'movies' go into the 'tv shows' category, which i can then add to a playlist and have it synced. more work, but it works...

Video playlists no longer auto-playing (4.3)

I've noticed that my music video playlists no longer auto-play from one song to the the next with the latest OS update (iPhone 4.3, Apple TV 4.2). Basically, a music video stops and the next one doesn't start until I press play again.
Any solutions?

I have the same problem.
I am using an iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3) and various Apple TVs (4.2).
When i start a playlist with music videos from the iTunes store, the first video will be played on the Apple TV and then Apple TV plays this Video again but "repeat" is not selected. Actually the next clip in the list shut be played. Seems to be a bug :-(

Trying to create HTML5 Video Playlist in Edge Animate - I can't get it to work. Please help!?!?

Hi All,
I am creating an interactive site through Edge Animate and am in the process of trying to create a HTML 5 Video Playlist to function within Edge Animate.
Current Process - Example:
I have 3 videos that need to be played on a certain page.
I created a symbol and dragged the videos to the stage and hidden them within that symbol's timeline.
I then use thumbnail images in a side playlist to either .remove(); .hide(); a video and .show(); the next.
However when I do a hide / show option, the video continue to plays in the background if I don't also create an if/else statement to pause it.
My concern with pausing it is that it will continue to load and dramatically slow down the load time of the site.
References:
I found this which looks very helpful but don't know how to add this to edge composition.

Hi Joe,
Thank you so much for your help on this one. It is hugely appreciated!!
I have been working frantically to implement your solution to get this working. I used the 'change src' method.
I have added all my code below in case anyone wants the solution in the future.
Could you please help below as I am now totally stuck with the <track> and 'event listener issues' !!
Issue #1:
I am having major problems with loading the 'closed captions' track element.
Everything I click for the video to change source / to the next video, the closed caption track adds to the video and doesn't 'unload' the previous one. You then end up with multiple different subtitle tracks on the video screen
- The closed captions / subtitles are not showing up in Google Chrome either?
Issue #2:
I can't get the event listener in edge animate to work for 'playing' and 'ended'. Can you please help and point me in the correct direction??
