Shuffle button for video playlists

I was originally trying to create a TV Show playlist that I could randomise and watch on my Apple TV but there is no shuffle option on the actual Apple TV itself and the shuffle buttons on both iTunes and the iOS remote app do not seem to do anything on a video playlist when they are pressed.
Is there any work around for this?

  • The "i" button for Videos in Description field

    Is there a way to get the "i" button in the description field (to show description in a separate pop up window) to show up for videos (the video icon under in Source area)?
    They show up in the iTunes video store and for downloaded Podcasts (under the Podcast icon in Source area not Library), but do not for up for dowloaded Videos (or even for dowloaded podcasts when looking at them through library (main library in Source). The descriptions of some of the TV Shows I have bought through iTunes are very long sometimes and have almost found it easier to just find the show again on the iTunes store and click on the "i" there instead of trying to spread the description column at wide enough to be able to see enough to make sense of what it is saying. But that still should not have to be done, so I am wondering if I am missing a preference setting somewhere or if it can be done through terminal or editing the iTunes preference file. I have sent it off as a suggestion, but I wanted to see if there was a quick solution that I am just over looking.
    thanks

    Well all I can say is that after the 10.6 update, I too lost my Get and Subscribe buttons once again. I downloaded and ran the install procedure and used the Repair option within it and that solved the issue. I only had to run it once though.
    If you've done this twice without the problem being fixed, I don't know what else to suggest.
    Sorry.

  • How do you set the menu button for a playlist?

    I have a "Play All" playlist that I want to return to the main menu (when the menu button on a DVD remote is pressed). Right now, it's going to one of my sub menus. I can't figure out why this is happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the responses.
    My "Play All" playlist is not a button on a menu. It is actually the "First Play" of my DVD. I want the user to be able to hit the menu on their remote and then go to the main menu. What's happening is the menu button is going to a sub menu. I find it frustrating that you cannot set the remote button options for a playlist. If this can't be done, is there at least a way to set my main menu screen as my "top menu"? I don't want to set all of my timelines to the main menu. If I were to set it that way, all of the clips from the sub menus would go back to the main menu (when the menu remote button is pressed).

  • Creating a Randomizer/Shuffle Button for interactive PDF in InDesign CS6 (PC)

    I'm creating a set of flashcards in InDesign CS6 (on a PC) so there are two sides (question then answer). I'd like them to "flip over" using an interactive PDF. That's not the problem - the tough part is linking the two sides (ie pages) together and creating a "randomizer" button so the user can shuffle the deck of flashcards in a new order while keeping the question and answer pages of each card together. Is that possible with an interactive PDF? I'd appreciate any info! The company is printing the flashcards and then offering them in a digital format to it would be great to be able to use one document for both purposes.

    Sorry, this is not possible in an interactive PDF file.
    You could probably do with SWF. You could probably include it a tablet app using HTML5 and JavaScript.
    But not in PDF.

  • Creating a mute button for video in as3

    I would like to create my own mute button in as3. I have created a video object which plays my video fine. I'm having trouble finding information on how to create a mute button that mutes the audio but the video continues to play. All documentation that I've read relates to controlling sound from an loaded .mp3 file. Does anyone know how I can do this? The gotoandlearn.com site explains it using as2 only.
    Thanks

    I figured it out:
    sound_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, soundOFF);
    function soundOFF(e:MouseEvent) {
         var transform:SoundTransform = new SoundTransform();
         transform.volume = 0;
         stream.soundTransform = transform;
    Thanks for all your help on this. You'll probably see more of my post as I struggle with AS3 and my flash project.

  • "Share" button for video in Messages app not giving any option except email

    I recently started having an issue on my iPhone whereby I receive a video via iMessage and tap the "share" button, and instead of the usual choice of share options, there is only one displayed: "Mail". All the other options, such as "Save to Camera Roll", "Print", "Copy", "Assign to Contact", "Twitter" and "Facebook" are missing. So I can only "share" the video by email. This prevents me from saving the video to my Camera Roll.
    Despite this, I can still play the video from within the Messages app, so there is no obvious problem with the video itself.
    The person sending the video is using an iPhone 5, and I am using an iPhone 3GS. Earlier videos sent by the same person using the same phone did not have this issue.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    Ok, I managed to find the root cause, and a workaround of sorts.
    I took my phone into the Apple store. They hadn't seen the problem before, but they were able to find a few other threads describing the same issue:
      https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4404114?start=0&tstart=0
      https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4383813?start=0&tstart=0
    The one thing all the threads have in common is that the phone receiving the video is older (specifically, a 3GS). The Apple staff said it's probably because the newer iPhones are generating video in a format which the 3GS does not support. This is despite the 3GS being able to play the video within the Messages app, which is a bit odd.
    This theory appeared to be confirmed when I inspected the video on my Apple Mac - when I right click and choose "Get Info", the newer videos which have this issue are 540 x 960 and generated in iOS 6.1.3, while the older videos which don't have the issue are 272 x 480 and generated in older versions of iOS. So the picture quality has increased. This is despite the videos being generated by the same physical phone (I'm pretty sure they are anyway).
    Based on this hint, I was able to get the videos into my 3GS's Camera Roll by converting the format of the video as follows:
    Copy the video to an Apple Mac (you can do this by connecting the iPhone to the Mac via USB, and then running Image Capture.app on the Mac).
    Open the video in Quicktime.app (in my case, I'm running v10.2)
    Choose File > Export > Format > "iPod touch and iPhone 3GS". This generates a copy of the video in .m4v format (MPEG-4) optimized for iPhone 3GS.
    Copy the new video back to the phone [*]
    Tap the Share button, and voila - Save to Camera Roll option is there and works as expected.
    If you don't have an Apple Mac, there may be an equivalent way to convert the video in Windows.
    Of course, copying the video on to a computer, converting the video format, and copying it back to the phone might be more trouble than you want to go to just to save it to your Camera Roll!!!
    [*] Copying the converted video back to the phone is a bit of a pain. Since I'm using iCloud, I used the Messages app on the Mac to send a message to myself with the video attached [!]. Following this, I could open the video in the Messages app on the phone. An alternative might be to email it to yourself. I also tried copying the video using iTunes, but this was no good: the video ends up in the phone's "Movies" app, which unfortunately plays the video incorrectly in landscape format and appears to have no Share button.

  • Automatic Random Playlist Regeneration for Video Playlist

    I've got a smart playlist on my iTunes which contains 2 GB of random video clips from my library. The playlist is set up great, but what I want to do is to have the list regenerate every time the iPod syncs. Right now, the only way t get a new random list of videos is to delete all of the items from the list.
    Is it possible to make iTunes regenerate this list when I sync my iPod? If not, how do I submit this as a feature request for future versions of iTunes?
    Thanks!
    Gabe

    I don't think so. The playlists (for all i know from my expereinces) are configured so either videos or music, it just plays one after the other. so yes, you can create playlists and it will automatically continue after one another
    important note: for this to take in affect, you have to choose your videos in the playlist, not through the video library (where all your movies are shown. Music videos and TV shows are in seperate lilbaries in ur ipod. )

  • Mute button for video.

    I am using this code:
    var vid=sym.$("Holder");vid.html('<video width="444" height="250" src="video/video4.mp4" type="video/mp4" controls ="controls" autoplay ="autoplay" muted ="muted"</video>');
    to bring a video in. What I want to do is turn the controls on and have  mute button on the stage that will mute and unmute the video.

    No... not on a DVD that you play in a player attached to a TV... from the user guide PDF

  • How can I have videos playlist? - 5230

    Hi. I have used video converter on my nokia pc suite and saved the music videos on my memory card.
    Now, I need to know how to make a playlist and let my phone play videos all alone other that always having to press stop, back, select another song, press play etc.etc always for each and every song. Can that be possible on my nokia?

    That's not entirely true
    You just have to create a playlist using RealPlayer (I think it's an .RA or something) and load it to your device, then Realplayer can read that playlist.
    I haven't done it in a while, but it is possible.
    Search for video playlist.

    Hi, i have the same problem.. it´s frustating.. but i fonund a way.. it´s note the best but it might help a little bit.
    you have to create a playlist in notepad.
    Example: 
    file:///e:/Videos/Infected Mushroom - Becoming Insane.mp4
    file:///e:/Videos/Video2.mp4
    file:///e:/Videos/Video3.mp4
    etc, etc
    file:///e:/videos/       is the route where you put the videos. and then you put the name of the video. then on the next line put the other video.
    then rename the notepad as:   name.ram  
    where name is the name of the playlist
    RAM  is the extension of the playlist.
    finally copy the your´re playlist to the memory card on playlist.
    Open Real player on you´re phone. and on STREAMING links  you will find youre playlist.
    You won´t  have the use of >> but when the video end it will continue with the next one. it´s like a continuous play.
    i hope this help you a little bit.. or the other one is to google "Smartvideo"  and this app has all the functions includes, avi, divx and vdix support.
    640K Should be enough for everybody

  • Did anyone find solution to Video playlist on iPad 2?

    DId anyone find a solution for video playlist on iPad 2 continuously ?

    I very much doubt if there is such a list. A number of sites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store - have you looked to see if any of your favourites have apps ?

  • Video playlists in iOS? Please? Really please?

    Prior to iOS 5, I used video playlists extensively.  For example:
    video playlist of cartoons/shows/videos/etc. to hand to our toddler during trips.  One plays after the other.
    I often get instructional material with video file names like "Lesson 1. Setting up", "Lesson 2. Configuring", etc.  Now imagine five series and there are five Lesson 1, five Lesson 2.  If you just list all the programs, it's impossible to know which Lesson 2 follows which Lesson 1, etc.
    My Classic iPod (click wheel) has video playlists and they're great.  My iPhone, iPad...no.  All I get is a long list of videos and neither of the above two scenarios work.
    Is there a workaround for video playlists?  I've heardpeople mention a couple apps, but Video Playlists is iPad-only, and other players require sync outside of iTunes.  I already have all the videos setup in video playlists in iTunes.  I can put them on my iPod classic with no problem...but with the supposedly more advanced iOS, it's impossible.
    Does iOS 6 have video playlists?

    Nathan,
    I'm having a similar problem. I have movies and Curb your Enthusiasm episodes that i have put into video playlists, and now (in addition to showing up properly in the video playlists secition) they're ALSO showing up under music playlists as well (but just the titles, there's no content in the playlist there).
    What can i do to fix this???

  • Remove/Reduce Shuffle Button on Mobile for Premium Users.

    In almost every view on the Mobile app, there's a giant floating "Shuffle" button that never leaves the screen.
    I believe free users have access to *only* shuffle on mobile, correct? So in that sense, that Shuffle button makes sense. It's their only option for playback.
    As a premium user, I am paying you for the priveledge to play an entire album, playlist, etc in the intended order. Ie. - as a premium user, I am *unlocking* the abilitiy to NOT be forced to shuffle - and the app should reflect that.
    Now, I have no problem with the Shuffle button *existing* - but have it sit next to the "Save" button under the album artwork and have it scroll offscreen. When I am perusing a track list or discography why is it necessary to have SHUFFLE!!!! in my face the whole time? It's especially annoying when viewing an artist or an album - I can *kind* of see the application when viewing a playlist.
    I know this has been posted before in the forums, but the design philosophy behind it (for Premium users) really baffles me.

    pLEASE
    Don't remove it. I use it everytime to start playlist with random track. Robust option on Premium.
    When I hit by this to long-time-no-hear handsup track I start to jam hard and I'm so happy. If you remove this feature, I will be mad to Spotify forever...
    Last time it shuffled me Verano... I was almost jumping hard on my walk :D
    spotify:track:1wS7CkKcrhdwqj6ukzBoaQ
    I know someone thinks it is useless, but you can simple ignore this button and start play by selection track.
