Video Play Issues, Thumbnails/Album Art Only Comes On

So in a fit of frustration, my bf has given up on trying to fix his iPod.
Problem? When he goes to play a video, it doesn't play. Instead the screen will look like it's playing a song, and a clip of the video is the album art or thumbnail. There's no movement, it's just a clip. We're done the resetting thing, adjusted the TV Out, TV Signal and Widescreen options back and forth. We're not trying to connect to a tv just trying to watch a video on the iPod. It was working fine two days ago but not so much today.
Any help?

Here try this and see if it solves the problem: go into your iPod, choose video's or movie's ( on the main screen) , then go to video settings and make sure "TV Out" is set to "off"... now your iPod should play video.

If I helped... please mark as helpful or solved. Thanks

  • Videos showing up as album art

    This is really weird....I press play on my videos and they show the first frame as the album art...audio still works fine. I'm using firmware 1.0 and the same videos worked yesterday.

    I have only experienced this once. It was really weird. All I did was play song in music, and then went back to videos. After that it worked fine.

  • Embedded VIdeo Play Issue in Firefox

    Hi peeps.
    My OS is Win7 Home Basic 64-bit. I can't play any embedded video in Firefox, but I can in Chrome and IE. The video screen just goes black with circle loading stopped in motion. The tab isn't frozen or not responsive, simply the video wouldn't load. The only solution I have is uninstall both Firefox and Adobe Flash Player and reinstall both. After that I can play embedded video (like in Youtube, DailyMotion, etc). Even if I close and reopen Firefox, I can still play them.
    But whenever I restarted my laptop, I'm back to square one. Unless I reinstall both Firefox and Adobe Flash Player, I can't play any embedded video again in Firefox. I have tried disabling protected mode in Firefox (when I could play the video in Firefox, I have unchecked the Hardware Acceleration-whatever). Already tried Firefox Safe Mode (Shift+Click on Firefox) but same problem. I have tried installing Firefox v24, 27, 28. Adobe Flash Player is the latest version 12.0.0.77.
    I don't have any conflicting extensions or plugins. The other plugins I have installed are Adobe Acrobat 11.0.6.70, Google Update 1.3.22.5, Yahoo Application State Plugin 1.0.0.7 (I can say for sure Yahoo plugin isn't the root of this problem since I have experienced this problem way before I have YM installed). The other extensions I have are Greasemonkey 1.15 (same with Yahoo plugin, I have experienced this problem before I added Greasemonkey to Firefox) and IDM C.C. 7.3.68.
    My guess is the problem is related with IDM. Iirc, before I have IDM installed, I could play embedded video in Firefox. But it's strange, since my netbook (this Firefox problem is in my laptop with win7 Home Basic) with XP SP3 can play embedded video in Firefox with IDM installed. Actually, I never had any problem regarding playing embedded video in my netbook.

    Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if this helps.
    You can use the MSConfig program or the Autoruns utility to see which software and services are getting started (be cautious with disabling services).

    If you have software like Advanced SystemCare that might reset some files to older versions to protect these files against changes then check the settings or uninstall this software.

  • Album Art Only Displays For First Song of Album

    If I play an album via my iPad or iPods music app through AppleTV, the album art will display correctly for the first songs played from that album, but is blank for the others that follow.  If i individually play each song, the album art appears correctly. 
    Also, if iI have a playlist and two songs from the same album play back to back, then the second song does not have album art.  However, if another song plays between the two songs from the same album, the art appears correctly.
    If I play an album from iTunes on my Macbook Air through my AppleTV, there are no cover art issues.

    Per someone elses suggestion, i reset the device and the issue still exists.

  • Issues with Album Art

    So I decided to try iTunes Match the other day and after a very simple switch over on my iPhone, I thought everything was done and working properly.
    Unfortunately, when I went to play music on the phone, none of the album artwork was showing up.  Upon further inspection, it seems that only the first track of an album has cover art, but the rest of the songs are lacking.  So, if one were to look at the albums listing or cover flow, things would look fine, when really I'm missing nearly all of the album artwork.  There are also a handful of albums in which the cover art is completely missing, but considering that these tracks were rips, I'm not surprised nor am I that concerned.
    Can anyone explain why all of these albums, even one that were puchase from iTunes, only have album art on the first song and no others?
    Thanks

    Ah! Got it!
    After posting on here last night I kept fiddling around with things and finally went to bed. Got up this morning and suddenly was able to copy/paste artwork in. I played around with several things, but I think the one that made the difference was under the Advanced drop down menu on iTunes. Select "Get Album Artwork" and run it. This fixed some of the albums, but not all of them.
    From there I went to the albums that weren't fixed and was able to highlight a song in iTunes and bring up the info (Control+I, or it's on the right-click menu). Before, the Artwork tab was available on only the first song, now it was available on all of the tracks. Only the first track had the artwork in it though. I just clicked the artwork on Track 1, click the Next button below (taking you to Track 2). You'll notice the space is blank, just click Control-V (paste) and it appears. This is tedious, because you have to do it for every album, every song, but it gets the job done.
    If this doesn't work for you let me know, I'll try and remember what other steps I did other than Get Album Artwork, but that would seem like the most logical one.
    PS- Go Buckeyes, O-H!

  • New issue about Album Art

    I sent this e-mail to Apple and was sent back a "follow-up" e-mail a day later that completely disregarded everything I said and didn't answer anything I asked. I figured if I post on this board I could actually get some help since the phone and e-mail already failed. My questions and all of the information are below:
    I recently downloaded iTunes 7 and was excited about the new cover art feature. However, I have a problem while using it. I purchased the explicit version of the CD "Fly or Die" by N.E.R.D. at a store and had ripped it to my iTunes library. I wanted to get the proper cover art for the album so I created an iTunes account and then used the "Get Album Artwork" feature for a song on the CD. However, the cover art given to me was not the artwork with the "parental advisory" sign on it. I know this seems like a minor detail, but what bothers me most is that iTunes offers both cover art for the explicit version and the clean version of the CD and even though I have the explicit version I am stuck with the clean version's artwork. What puzzled me even more was the cover art's hue given to me from iTunes looked different from the version that can be seen in the iTunes store. You can notice this if you look at both covers from the iTunes store and then use the "Get Album Work" yourself. I don't know if this is a glitch within the system but I was wondering how I can get the explicit version's cover art now that iTunes offers ALL of their cover art and I had created an iTunes account based on this feature.
    I have also noticed difficulty getting the explicit version of an album's cover art for many other CDs I have in my iTunes library. Is there a way to access them because I keep recieving the clean versions even though both should be available. My tracks are even named exactly like the explicit versions in the iTunes store. I hope something can be done about this and would appreciate a response whenever information about these subjects have been figured out.

    Allistair Hart: I appreciate your investigation but I don't quite understand your results. Are you saying that you were able to access the "Fly or Die" explicit album art by using the "Get Album Art" feature or were you only talking about viewing it from the iTunes store? The iTunes store by the way DOES have both the explicit and clean versions of the album.
    Nathan C: At first I tried searching for the album art based on the information I already had labeled for each track. That didn't work so I set my song information exactly the same as the way iTunes listed it but that didn't work either. Finally I labeled the song with the word "explicit" after it (I tried putting it after the album title, artist, and song title, using several combinations) but that also didn't work.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro Video Play Issue

    This is probably not an advanced question, but I'm having a lot of trouble finding an answer.  I'm trying to use Adobe Premiere, and I'm importing my video.  In the first screen, the top left video play area that I import my raw video into, I find that I'm getting a very choppy play.  The choppy play is making it difficult for me to time my cuts.  The screen image will freeze while the audio continues to play.
    When this happened initially, I assumed it was my hardware.  I was running what I considered to be a decent machine, but I figured I needed a better one.  So, I went and bought a better one.  Now I'm running a machine with a Quadro 3100 graphics card.  It's an I7, quad core, about 2.8 ghz if I recall correctly.  (It's supposed to be able to over clock or boost or something, but I don't know much about that stuff.)
    Anyway.  Is there some sort of setting I should be using?  Any advice would be really, sincerely appreciated. 

    John T. Smith,
    My apologies for not having provided more information.
    What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).
    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro 5.5, and I believe I just updated it to the 5.5.2.
    Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    I ran the update this morning, which is why I believe I'm using the 5.5.2.
    What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
    Windows 7, and I believe it is Professional.
    What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
    These are Quicktime .mov files.  I'm afraid I don't have a lot of other information.  They are files that were transferred to my computer, but I wasn't around when they were initially done.
    If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
    No error message.
    What were you doing when the problem occurred?
    The problem is consistent.
    Has this ever worked before?
    I've never seen it play smoothly.
    What other software are you running?
    Just typical Microsoft Office programs, and Chrome, and maybe Explorer.  But I rarely run anything else while I'm attempting to work in Premiere.
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
    To my knowledge, no. 
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
    I'm using the MSI WT Series WT60 2OK 3K-615US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black)
    Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
    I do not know how to use this.
    Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
    It only happens to the raw footage and timeline footage.  The output is fine, assuming I can find the correct place to make the cuts.

  • Issue with album art work....

    .....hey everyone. I have a issue with my itunes art work. Well it's on my gif's computer. She made the mistake of lending it to her little niece, which has a zone. There was a update prompted to update itunes and zone software. She updated both at the same time. Now her music is missing it's album art and now the zone software shows it has it(Music she imported from cd into itunes). Now my thought is that she made the zone software convert it to WMA format. But I check to see in my itunes folder in my music and it's still there. I try to access the album info in itunes, and even though the information is correct to the T, itunes say's it's not there. Can anyone help me with this issue. Thank you very much.

    I think I know this problem. It doesn't have to do with Zone, it has to do with the latest iTunes.
    If you select a song and it says "Album artwork not modifiable", then the likely problem is that iTunes9 added another ID3 V2 tag to the song, and now can't read the file. I had to manually go through 5000 songs and remove the duplicate tags using a tagging software. (I used tagscanner)

  • Album art only shows up as black squares

    Ever since the last iTunes update I've been unable to use album art. I usually just Google the album cover and copy + paste it into iTunes, which has worked fine for years. But all of a sudden when I try to paste the image all I get is a black square. Anyone else have the same issue? What can I do?

    It was a bug in the 10.4.0.80 build which has been fixed in 10.4.1.10. Update to the latest version and all should be well, although you will still need to repair any of the black/blank images you have now.

  • IPhone Sync issue (and album art messed up)

    Whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes, instead of just updating the media I have changed, it will randomly add anywhere between 30 to 300 songs that were already on my iPhone. It doesn't cause any problems with using the iPhone other then the fact that it takes a really long time to sync even when I don't change anything or add new media to sync with the iPhone.
    So far I have:
    -made sure I have the latest updates of iTunes and all software
    -re-set iSync
    -done an archive and install
    -had a genius appointment at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and
    -they replaced my iPhone
    ...but my problems still exist. And on top of that, all of the album artwork on the iPhone is jumbled up. It looks fine in cover flow, but when I switch to the normal mode it will be the wrong artwork with the wrong song. My album artwork in itunes is not jumbled up, but all of the artwork for the movies and tv shows I have bought and downloaded from the iTunes Store has disappeared and I can't get it back by searching for album artwork.
    So, to recap, my 3 main problems are.
    1) iPhone Sync issue
    2) Album artwork jumbled up on iPhone
    3) TV Show and Movie artwork disappearing on iTunes
    If anyone can help your time would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

  • Video play issue

    Hello.
    When watching avi and mkv when I select to play another part of the movie the sound does not come back. I only get the video with no sound.
    The files are large from 700 MB to 4500 MB.
    Sometimes the sound comes several seconds (sometimes aprox. 10).
    Some files I get points of the movie that the video pauses itself. I have to fast forward a few seconds to get the movie to continue playing.
    I have a Nokia E7 with Belle.
    ¿Are this issues normal to Belle or are caused by a bad update from Anna?

    Hi claudio_b_p,
    Thanks for you post.
    I don't think issue is caused by firmware of the device but rather how the file has been encoded, the profile level the file is using and the codec itself as this issue happens to me also using several different devices including non Nokia handsets and even dedicated media players and even on my P.C as well. Sometimes if you leave it say 10 to 20 seconds the sounds eventually catches up.
    I've never really worked out what the issue is as it doesn't happen with all MKV files but some but I suspect it has something do to with hardware, software decoding and the way the MKV file itself has been encoded. The MKV file is just a container (For more reading about MKV please refer to this link http://www.matroska.org/index.html) which holds the video stream. The majority of video streams in an MKV is H.264. These are then encoded according to certain encoding level profiles. Profiles define the sets of bit stream features the h.264 stream can use. Levels define restrictions on the video resolution, frame rate and VBV (Video Buffer Verifier) etc. In short, Level 5.1 uses four to five times the bandwidth of Level 4.1 and hence allows very high definition video, 4096×2304 at 25 or similar. So you could have an MKV but the profile level could be so high that the hardware just doesn't support it even though it supports MKV. Most spec sheets of devices do state what profile level MKV's support. For a non dedicated media player such as a mobile device it is not recommended to go above 4.1.
    For more reading into the H.264 codec please refer to this link:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
    I personally don't believe it has anything to do with Anna or Belle but hardware limitations and the way the MKV file has been encoded. Best thing to do is to check the MKV file that you are using. To find out the profile level of a file you will need to use a media tool as you can't simply check it by looking into the property of the file. A good tool to check media file information is Mediainfo which is a free application.
    Try a variety of video files such as mp4, avi, xvids etc and see if you experience the same issues.
    Hope this helps.

  • Video playing issue - Green Band on top of the screen

    I am getting this type of green band repeatedly on YouTube video's in IE 9 on Windows 7 64 bit if Nvidia is engaged. Not with the Intel graphics. I have removed Flash but it won't play or display therefore it using Flash 64bit is installed. I was not able to repeat the problem with Chrome. But lately I can't seem to get Chrome to call on the Nvidia GPU even though its selected in Nvidia Control panel. I ran the 32bit IE 9 or 64bit but the Flash will only install the 64bit version even though I tried to manually install it. (Adobe says that both are built into the same download and only applies the one). Chrome runs the video without Flash installed. Weird there!
    I've spent a lot of time already and need to get other work done. Anyone see this problem?
    Is there a Nvidia GPU/memory diagnostic utility? I am wondering if its GPU fault. I did not see this before and I know my MB was replaced from before. I am not getting this on MSN.CA video's.

  • Video Playing Issue

    Hi, I got an Xperia Z3 the other day and I've noticed I can't play any video type files or anything. Snapchat, Twitch App and videos on Facebook all don't load or play. In the case of Snapchat and Facebook (videos where I select to play them) it gives me a "Sorry this video cannot be played" message. Any ideas on what to do?
    Thank you!

    It's the same story as it's ever been with Sony. While I absolutely love the company for being very progressive and daring when it comes to developing totally new tech I am always shocked by their way of actually selling these hot products. It really seems they put all the effort in developing new tech and making it work and then they totally stop and absolutely don't care for selling this hot stuff. Sometimes it looks like they even try to avoid to sell their products.
    Currently they totally fail concerning Remote Play for Xperia Z3 series. Remote Play for the Xperia Z3 line has been promoted as the "Killer Feature" of the line and was part of every advertising campaign. The only problem was that this main feature wasn't even available when the phones came out end of Septembre in Europe. If you didn't follow the promotion in detail and only watched the commercials chances were very high you bought the phone for that feature alone only to become aware - as soon as you got your phone - that you couldn't use this feature for weeks to come.
    Unfortunately it doesn't stop here. Now that Xperia Remote Play has been launched last week don't make the mistake to think that you can enjoy Xperia play to its fullest now. Oh no - It's a Sony - so you know you are in for more weird things to come. Now that Xperia Remote Play is available you want/need to grab one of these GCM-10 Game Control Mounts so you can hook up the Dualshock4 with your Xperia Phone (absolutely neccessary for satisfying and comfortable gameplay) Yes you are right while this GCM10 seems to be very appropriate for its purpose it's still just a piece of plastic, no tech involved, absolutely nothing of ingenious design, nothing involved that could cause a delay for production. But unfortunately you still can't use this Xperia Z3 Killer Feature Remote Play because now that the phone has finally arrived, now that - weeks later - the Xperia Remote Play App has arrived this GCM10 piece of playstic ist still not available. Needless to say that by now there even doesn't exist an official date when the GCM10 Gaming Mount will be available. So by now you are still blocked from enjoying glorious Dualshock4 supported Remote Play by the unavailability of a plastic adapter!
    Once again I am really disappointed by Sony's way to bring their amazing tech to the customer!

  • Album art only shows sometimes

    I put art in itunes for several albums, and it shows up fine in itunes, but on my ipod it only shows up sometimes. For instance, one album, the first 4 songs the art does not show up, but on song 5 it appears, not 6, but on 7 and 8...etc. Other albums it does not show art at all, and a few it shows for the entire album. Any ideas what is going on?

    I have the same problem. I just bought a 80GB Video ipod a couple of weeks ago. I have the newest version of itunes. I spent hours getting all the artwork on the itunes, synched my ipod and it all worked fine and then all of a sudden after my last synch (yesterday and after the last update) the artwork is all messed up. It displays the wrong artwork for the song and artist I pick. And when I click on the artwork (from my ipod) it shows a different album/artist artwork. This is really frustrating considering I put so much time in to make sure that all the albums had the correct artwork and that they were properly organized. Anybody have any solutions or been having the same problem?
