"TV Show" video kind option and associating a show with it

It is now possible to set the Video Kind in the "Options" tab to "TV Show", great! Only problem is, once you do that there is no series name associated with it like the ones that you download from iTunes.
Is there something I am missing? Is there a way to associate a Series name and season to the show? It won't recognize the Artist and Album fields for those, and there appears to be an additional hidden field used by the iTunes dl files that has a description of the episode.

Until Apple fixes this in iTunes, I've found an alternate solution. AtomicParsley http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/ is a command line tool to edit the metadata iTunes uses. I've tested it and have successfully changed the show information.
Before you go messing with your files, please back up your data. I had no problems whatsoever but it certainly is not outside of the realm of possibility. Good luck.

    To share either select the link (paperclip) icon on the right of the file or folder list.
    Cut and paste the link into an email you send your friends. Do not use the "share this" option in Dropbox as it forces them to join.
    You can test it after deleting your browser cache and cookies - you will no longer be signed in to Dropbox but the link should work fine.

  • Importing a HD .MTS video into AE and back to Premiere with minimal quality loss

    Hi all,
    AE doesn't seem to support .MTS... so I'm trying to find a way to get a few clips into AE, remove some grain with the grain removal tool, and then get them back into Premiere into my main project.  Does anyone have any advice about the best format (and maybe a converter tool) and method for doing this?
    I appreciate it!

    Which version of AE? AE has supported P2/ XDCAM/ AVCHD files for a while now, all of which can be labeled as MTS. Without exactly knowing what files, nobody wil lbe able to give concrete advice on converters and such. That aside, there's no need to turn this into a science lesson - simply export image sequences or losslessly compressed Quicktime files (Animation, PNG) from Premiere. any otehr format will only introduce another level of compression, which kinda defeats the purpose of denoising it in the first place...

  • How to monitor traffic and associations per AP with WCS?

    Hi,
    is there a way to get traffic and client access/associations data with WCS for each AP of a centrally managed WLAN?
    I manage a campus WLAN with a 4402 WLC (software version 6.0.188.0) and a WCS version 6.0.170.0 .
    WCS provides me detailed information on a client basis: I'm able to know the association history of each client currently
    connected, both which AP the client has connected to, and how much traffic the client has generated/received for each connection.
    I hadn't find a way to get the same information on an AP basis. Namely, which clients have been connected, and how much traffic
    has been transmitted per time slot.
    I suppose this is just a matter of making a different query to the WCS database, since the data are the same used for providing
    the information on the client association and traffic history. Though, I haven't find a way on WCS to get this information.
    Thanks a lot in advance for any help, cheers,
    Piero

    Use the client reports from WCS reporting:

  • IPad Video app mixes Movies and Home Video Kinds

    In iTunes I have videos that are of 'Video Kind' Movie and also 'Video Kind' Home Video.  These show up nicely on the AppleTV, segregated according to their "Kind".  On my iPad Air, however, the Video app mixes them all together under its heading of "Movies" when I use Home Sharing to access my iTunes Library from the iPad.
    How can I get my Home Videos to be distinguished from my Movies on the iPad?
    (And, is there any way to have the title show up on the thumbnail page?  In combination I have thousands of shows and it's hard to tell what's what!)

    Hello Brian, 
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you’re running into an issue playing iTunes Store content on your iPad Air, and you’ve already tried restarting the device and syncing the movies a second time. If you haven’t already, try backing up and restoring the device as shown in the article linked below.

  • Music + Video Kind is not 'Music Video' incompatible in smart playlists

    When iTunes introduced [Videos], they started showing up in my [Smart Playlists] used to maintain [Music] (too many to list). I was able to correct this by adding:
    [Playlist] is [Music]
    ...to all playlists.
    However, [Music Videos] still show up in my music playlists. This is particularly a problem because, using [Rivet], every playlist that has any video of any kind gets added to the folder tree on [Xbox]>iTunes>Videos which clutters it significantly. I expected that:
    Match All
    [Video Kind] is not [Music Video]
    [Playlist] is [Music]
    (and all other criteria)
    ...would fix this, but it doesn't; instead everything disappears-- I've tried the two in isolation too. I'm guessing as soon as you add [Video Kind] to a smart playlist, it dedicates that playlist to [Video] only making the criteria [Video Kind] is {...} AND [Playlist] is [Music] incompatible. However, in this case, these criteria should coexist IMO. Also, most of these playlists require "Match All" to be selected.
    There are two workarounds if anyone has the same beef:
    1) Change all music videos' [Media Kind] to [Video], and just store them there. Not the ideal use of iTunes library system, but doable.
    2) Create another smart playlist called 'Music Videos' where [Video Kind] is [Music Video] and then add [Playlist] is not [Music Videos] to every music playlist.
    Anyway, just thought I'd put it out there. Is the suggestion reasonable that these two criteria should be able to coexist? Am I using iTunes wrong or is there a better way to solve this problem?
    Based on how I see it now, I hope someone at Apple will fix this. Add a [MEDIA Kind] criterion, ditch the [Video Kind] criterion, and make this aspect more intuitive (and consistent with the classification of library entries-- ie [Video Kind] doesn't exist anywhere in the scheme but [Media Kind] does). Either that or just make a way to choose an optional super criterion for every smart playlist's [Media Type], then we could use "Match All" vs "Match Any" much more effectively.
    Thanks for listenin.

    Very cool- that worked, thank you! I didn't know that was even an option, and it must have popped up sometime after I bought my iPod Photo in 2005. And I would guess that the iPod Photo ignores that setting, since it worked just fine on that device, but nothing since then.
    One question- I was able to bulk-edit my three Podcast groups by clicking on the group header and applying to all. But will each subsequent Podcast (I get at least 2 new ones each day) default back to Skip, and periodically I'll have to go back and re-edit the groups? Or since I edited at Group level, does iTunes make that setting sticky for that category?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Video runs slow on firefox and out of sync with audio with abode flash 12.

    Ever since I installed adobe flash player 12 my videos run slow and out of sync with the audio it is like it pauses for a couple seconds and starts back working and keeps doing that.

    Hi jth10,
    The troubleshooting steps provided by Adobe can be found here: [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_For_Windows_users]
    * Are there any settings in the Flash settings manager that changed when you updated? [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html]
    *These are the recommended settings for specific resolutions [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/poor-video-quality-flash-player.html]
    You can also try to disable hardware acceleration in the Adobe settings menu.

  • Changing "Video Kind" to TV Show?

    So after manually changing each of my 450+ music video files to "Music Video" under "Video Kind:" (why on earth can't this come up under Edit Multiple Item Info?), my next project is to add my TV shows to iTunes.
    However, I cannot find a way to change the video type to "TV Show". The options are only "Movie" and "Music Video", neither of which will make a video file appear when TV Shows is selected in the Video playlist.
    Is there a way to do this?

    It is bad that you do not have TV Shows as a selection for the Video Kind for imported videos (not bought from iTunes). Something similar is probably causing an audio book that I got from somewhere besides iTunes to show up under Music in the search bar and not under Audiobooks.
    The only work around I have been using when using the browser mode in videos is to make sure that I select show Genre when browsing and make my own video Genres (into more like Video Kinds) and leave videos "clicked" on All and then just select TV Show or Movie or whatever from the Genre if I want to narrow down my selection.
    It helps but as I add more things to iTunes I would rather use Genre to further narrow down the selection I made in the search bar like click on "TV Shows" in search bar then comedy in genre or click on "All" in search bar and then comedy under genre to show all comedies regardless of being a movie, music video, podcast, or TV show. If all of my library had been purchased through iTunes it would work, but until Apple gives non-iTunes store videos all the selections under Video Kind (get info then under options) that are used in the search bar it is limiting.

  • Incorrect and Un-Changeable 'Video Kind' for Videos Purchased From iTMS

    Since I can't seem to find any other way to contact Apple except through paid support channels, their suggestion is to post something here. Hopefully this re-wording of other posts I've read will shed more light on the problem.
    To Apple:
    Some videos purchased from the iTunes music store have an incorrect 'Video Kind' which means they are sorted incorrectly in iTunes using Apple's new interface in version 7.
    Old Battlestar Galactica episodes have a 'Video Kind' of 'Movie' instead of 'TV Show', so they don't appear in the iTunes smart category as TV shows. They appear in 'Movies', and they shouldn't.
    The field for these files is locked/ghosted/unchangeable, I'm assuming because of ridiculous DRM requirements or an oversight. But you are enforcing rules which cause your program to incorrectly sort files, and not allowing your customers to fix the problem.
    I want all my TV shows to list in your 'TV Shows' top category, but I can't change the 'Video Kind' for those files (bought via the iTunes music store). I have expected this problem to work itself out in the last few iTunes updates, but it hasn't yet. And there are many threads about this in your discussion forums.
    Please unlock the 'Video Kind' field in iTunes for videos downloaded from the iTunes music store (Prison Break Season 1, Battlestar Galactica, The Office Season 1, Surface, etc), or give us some kind of utility that will allow us to correct the mis-categorization.
    Thank you!
    -Tony

    I quite agree. I'm not sure how much attention, if any, the iTunes dev. team pay to these groups however. The formal feedback route is via iTunes Feedback, where sadly, I suspect, not much attention is paid either.

  • What is the easiest way to create and share photo/video gallery or slide show with family via web?

    I am brand new to Lightroom (converted from Aperture) and made the conversation mainly because I thought that Adobe would bring many more options and because Apple has discontinued development of Aperture. Part of the reason I am asking this question is because there is so much information out there on this subject that it is overwhelming and actually is making it difficult to determine the best way to simply arrange my photos/videos into a slideshow and then to publish somewhat of a gallery or slideshow to show family and friends in other states. 
    I do not like publishing things to Facebook/etc.  Too public.  I just want a simple, efficient way to create a gallery with music and have a link I can send to my family (they all live in another state). 
    Any help narrowing this down for me would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    RJ Chesterton

    an airport extreme base station would do the job, it has several ethernet ports for use by non-wireless devices, allows connecting a usb printer to share, and supports both pc and mac via wireless
    config is via a dedicated set-up utility
    however, you can always connect the printer to the mac or pc and share it that way, so having this support in the base station isn't essential
    a much cheaper unit from netgear etc. (such as the netgear wgr614) would offer the other features, be far more compact, and allow configuration via web browser, which might be a factor if you need to give 'remote support'
    i've got both airport and netgear wireless devices, imho for non-technical users the netgear is simpler than the airport due to the web browser configuration

  • My computer will no longer stream videos? The videos are choppy and show static?

    Hello! My macbook pro just recently stopped streaming videos from facebook, youtube, hulu, etc... The videos are choppy and show static. The sound play back is fine but the picture is definitely unclear. I was hoping that there was a simple solution to this as I have never had an issue with this computer before.
    Thanks,
    Charlotte

    Thanks, Lawrence. I figured that was what I was going to have to do in the end. I have a few games with quite a few hours invested, and I worry that I'll lose the progress I have as they do not save to the cloud. I may have to bite the bullet, and just take the plunge to resolve this. I just want a way to easily transfer my "Home Computer" for my iPhone. My laptop is years old and in need of being replaced, and it's about time to upgrade my phone. These life events piling up are making me consider switching to a friendlier OS. I'm not using this as a threat. I just hope some apple high up will read this, and realize that we need alternatives. Life happens.
    Thank you both Paul and Lawrence. I clicked "This helped me" not knowing it would remove the option to choose "This fixed my problem" too. For anyone else reading this thread. Using the guide provided has done both. It has helped me and given me a fix to my current problem. Lawrence has also provided me with the last bit of information I feel is missing from wjosten's guide. That syncing will completely erase all of your data and reinstall it in one fell swoop. It's a great fix. Even if it isn't the exact one I wanted. Thank you again!

  • Changing TV Show to Music Video in Video Kind:

    Hey all,
    In Video Kind when you get info on a video under the Video tab, there is a drop down menu where you can change the type of video. I want to change a TV Show to Music Video, but the drop down is not allowing me to, it is grayed out. I am assuming there is a way to do it, since it's there. So, if anyone out there in MacLand could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!!!
    Thanks,
    Bernie

    When you buy a video from iTunes, it will be in "Protected MPEG-4 video file" format. Since it is "protected", you can't reformat it.
    For tracks, you can convert them to unprotected MP3 format by burning them to an audio CD, then ripping them back to iTunes. However, It is not the same for videos. When I burned my TV-Shows to video DVD, and ripped them back to iTunes, the protected format does not change.
    If I find anything special program that can convert the videos into non-protected format so that you can edit them, I'll let you now ASAP

  • I have a new macbook pro and just made a video on imovie and it asked me to put it on idvd but there is no idvd listed as an option. How can I get idvd?

    I have a new macbook pro and just made a video on imovie and it asked me to put it on idvd but there is no idvd listed as an option. How can i get idvd. it doesn't seem available

    Since Apple has stopped supporting and offering iDVD you'll need to purchase the iLIfe 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: iLife 11 which will include iDVD 7.

  • ITunes Videos (Both Movies and TV Shows) are skipping/ studdering.

    iTunes Videos (Both Movies and TV Shows) are skipping/ studdering.
    These videos were taken from my hard drive, converted with Format Factory, then placed in itunes.
    ON ipad the videos playback perfectly, but in itunes itself it fails drastically.
    Same problem happens with quicktime. If i open these videos up with quicktime, it studders and skips, while if i open it with VLC, it works fine.
    I have already disabled 3d acceleration, which helped a very small bit.
    The Rest of itunes runs smoothly, just video playback is screwed
    Specs:
    HP Envy 14
    Intel i5 quad core processor 2.53 ghz
    6 gb ddr3 ram
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    Itunes 10.5.1
    Quicktime 7.7.1

    Update
    It turns out that the reason for not playing TV shows and movies is not the network.
    Something happened with the files while copying them from the Macbook to the NAS station.
    I noticed that after copying a TV show from the NAS Station back onto the Macbook Air drive; it was not possible to import that file into iTunes. iTunes ignored importing that file.
    On the other side the TV shows will be played by Quicktime, either from the NAS station or from the Macbook.
    It might be important to mention that the NAS station is not OSX formatted.
    Does someone know what happened ?
