Shuffle music videos?

Is there no function that makes it possible to shuffle the music videos purchased? Its annoying to press play everytime a video is finished, it would be nice to be able to shuffle the videos like the songs....

No, and it's a very frustrating omission.

Shuffle music videos using front row

Hello, I just can´t figure it out, can I shuffle music videos using front row?
MAc mini Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I don't think anyone's figured out how to do that. Music and music playlists from iTunes are played through iTunes. However, even if your video is inside iTunes the video is played through Front Row using the QuickTime Player application, not iTunes. Since the QuickTime Player application is not reading playlists from iTunes and has no "shuffle" option of its own, I don't think it can be done. If you do make a playlist in iTunes that has videos on it, all you get is the audio and a black screen when they're played with iTunes.
I would suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback and let them know you'd like to see an option like this.

Shuffle music videos in Apple TV 2??

Does enyone know if apple tv 2 has the option to shuffle music videos played form the iPad 2?
I've red some discussions from 2008 where they said that apple tv was able to shuffle videos by holding the play/pause button, but I'm trying to do it and it doesn't work.
Any information would be highly appreciated!!!
Thanks!

Been asking for this feature since I picked one up. Just keep using the feedback form... maybe they'll listen...

Unable to shuffle Music Video added to Playlist in iTunes

I am unable to shuffle music videos added to iTunes Playlist. I want to listen songs present in playlist with a random selection instead of a sequential playback. Also when I activate the shuffle button while playing videos the playback stops after completion of the current track.
So please suggest a way out.
Thanks

If the iPad works the same way as the iPhone, I found a workaround, created a playlist in my music (instead of videos), added my videos to this playlist then play everything off the 'Music' app rather than the 'Videos' on my iPhone. Works perfectly for me, can shuffle, loop...

Is there a way to shuffle music videos on the Touch?

The Touch is my first video iPod, and I was shocked to see I can't shuffle my videos. I just bought a slew of music videos, and I would like to be able to organize them into playlists and shuffle those, just like my songs. Right now I can only play one video at a time, then I have to manually go back and select another video.
Am I missing something? Or will this functionality be added in a future software update? Playing videos just isn't very convenient or enjoyable at all with the current lack of shuffle capability. Anyone else feel the same, or am I all alone on this?

Have done the feedback thing, and hopefully others have as well. Any idea if this functionality of being able to organize playlists of your music videos and play them as such is going to be be possible in any upcoming software upgrade?
I have actually gone ahead and got the universal dock and component cables, so I can view my music videos on my big screen TV and sound through my stereo and speakers. Sure would be nice to be able to allow a playlist of videos to continually play nonstop without having to go to the Touch after the conclsusion of each single video and select the next one to play.

Shuffle music videos in landscape

IOS 7 - I created a playlist with just music videos. When it plays the videos can only be viewed in portrait mode. If you rotate the phone (5) to landscape the album art pops up. Excuse me Apple video is viewed in landscape mode. Additionally, my music videos are checked no for skip when shuffling. In IOS 6 the video would pop up when it came to a video, now it just shows the album view in landscape mode. Major disapointment.

I drove a cab for a year. I had my iPod 1g mounted between the two sun visors. I played music videos (audio through the cab speakers) for my passengers at night. THEY LOVED IT! That was 2009-2010. With that function gone, I lost a lot of tips. I understand Music Videos are VIDEOS as one lummox keeps stating, but in iTunes, you could load an entire playlist of music videos and play them in landscape. You had all the same options as video - continue where last left off, etc... It's a function that earned me twice as many tips because I could take requests (I have a lot of music videos) from drunk passengers that liked watching the videos. APPLE BRING THIS FUNCTION BACK!
As of IOS8 (8.1.2) this is still not happening

Unable to shuffle music videos in IOS5

Hi, I just downloaded IOS5 to my iPhone and all my music videos were put into a new folder called "Videos", but there is no shuffle function, so now I can't shuffle my music videos like I used to do and once and they won't automatically go onto the next song either, so I have to keep picking a new song. Very frustrating. Apple.... please make shuffling available in videos, otherwise I don't like it. I am now going to try and restore my phone back to the previous version. Argh!!!

How do I get Music Video's to play in iTunes on iPad Mini with Shuffle option on Playlists (it's only playing the music not video's)?

Hi. I have got Music Video's on iPad Mini on a Playlist on iTunes. When I use 'shuffle' option the audio of the track is heard but no video is played (only a 'still' from the video). When using the Video option on the desktop, plays videos but does not allow you to 'playlist' them or shuffle them. I can shuffle Music Video playlist on iPhone and on PC. So why not on iPad Mini. Can someone help? Thanks

There does not appear to ba a facilty for this on the iPad. However there are a number of apps that will allow you to create and play video playlists. Try VP Lite which is free.

Music Video shuffle taken away with iOS5?

So I made the mistake of updating my iPad software to 5.01, and now I can no longer shuffle my music videos from my playlists? I can only see the video by going into videos, selecting a video, watching, going back, selecting another one, etc? I was able to shuffle them from my music video playlist before the upgrade. Why take away that functionality? I'm keeping my Touch at the current OS since that still works, but a shame the larger iPad won't shuffle music videos. Why make it harder on end users to enjoy their content they purchased?

Your observations are all correct. The ipod touch cannot shuffle music videos.You can shuffle songs and etc but not music videos. It would be a great feature i recommend you leave feedback at the link below. I happen to have 22 music videos that i enjoy watching and a shuffle feature would be nice.

Music Video tag

Happy Holidays all !!
I have about 1200 ripped music videos. 500 or so of them show up as movies in iTunes.
A upgrade in the software I used allowed me to tag the content music videos,but all previous music videos are showing up as movies. Before I manually change them (which is slow and one at a time) my question is:
"Is there a way to change multiple movie files to music videos?"
Thanks!
Mike

I guess the answer is "Nothing in iTunes". Seems like a good idea for Apple, just like playing a playlist or shuffling Music Videos in the Apple TV box.
I downloaded Lostify & Parsley. Parsley can do multiple files. Thanks.
Both pieces of software have their strengths.
HNY,
Mike

My I Pad 2 music videos

How do I get continuous play with my music videos it plays 1 song then it stops? My I Phone 4 and my I Pod have more options to set for music videos like continuous play, replay all, shuffle why are these not available on my I Pad 2?

I talked to tech support for an extended period yesterday. I am told this feature is not available on ipad2. This is the main reason I bought my iPad. I wanted to use it as a player for my entertainment sys. Connect it to tv and play music videos. Very disappointed, why would apple go backwards in functionality? I have an iTouch this function works fine. Although tech support tried to tell me it didn't, that I was wrong. I offered to send it to them for testing. Maybe my iTouch somehow was the only one out there that would shuffle music videos. Come on apple, fix the bug with I
Pad2.

How do i get music videos to play like the music does on my ipad, for example one right after another and shuffle

I need to know how I can get the music videos on my IPad to play like the music does. What I mean id setting up a playlist, shuffle, and have them play one right after another instead of going back to the main screen.

At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

Apple TV won't shuffle homemade music videos?

I've got a number of homemade videos (things downloaded from YouTube, etc.) I've set as music videos. Apple TV sees them just fine, and will play them just fine, but it WON'T shuffle them. It only seems to shuffle videos purchased from iTunes.
Has anybody run into this before?
Thanks.

Choose a video in iTunes, right click on it and GetInfo.
Under options tab ,skip when shuffling, is probably selected - change it for all affected videos and you should be ok.

Black screen after music videos shuffle ends

1. After playing music videos that have been synced, the screen went black. (Videos were purchased via iTunes.) Since no menus were visible, had to reboot to get menu back. 2. How do you turn off the music sound after moving out of "my music" menu?

Is this repeatable, or perhaps a one off glitch.
2. How do you turn off the music sound after moving out of "my music" menu?
Sometimes I find that annoying too, however that's what it's supposed to do. You can either begin to play some other content (excluding photos) or go back to the music selection and stop the track that's playing.

How can I play multiple music videos continuously on Apple TV?

Regular music plays continuously, one song to another, etc. I can't get my music videos to do the same. One plays, and after it's over, ATV won't go to the next video. I can't figure it out. Does anyone out there know how to do it?

What I find is really silly, is the fact the music video's are listed under that artists albums in the Music menu. And when you go into the video 'album' (called 'Unknown' unless you change it) there is an option to shuffle the tracks. Clicking this just results in an error message. So, they should either remove that option if it is a video album, or, better yet, GET IT TO WORK. So silly of them to omit this.
I have submitted feedback.
