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???

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.

Please help or put me in the right direction to create a playlist would be hugely... AMAZINGLY.. helpful.
Thanks,

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??

How to create a drag and drop video playlist Help please

I would like to learn how to create a drag and drop video playlist.
I think the most common example is youtube.
I already have partial of the work but I am stuck with my preliminary knowledge of Flash.
What I am saying is:
I have a *.fla project that have the galleries for video and pictures.
But this process is done from the back end.
I would like to make it more dynamic for the visitors.
For example:
1. Create a visitor video (pictures) playlist
2. Drag and drop into the playlist
3. To be able to create different playlists (Playlist 1, "My favorite playlist", "Watch later", etc)
If someone knows or want to guide me where or how to find this request, I'd appreciate it so much.
If the forum think that this need to be address to a expertise ($). I am also welling to hear that and where to go.
If someone is interesting in this project please send me a note to show the prelimary project.
Thanks

Yeah that is the general idea but that is more of a "lift and drop", i want to add the same thing as when you:
Right click this window in the taskbar (assuming your using windows) when the window is not maximized and click "move" then it changes the cursor icon and allows u to move the window around and while you move it around it shows the window moving, not a click and release feature.
So i want that ability without having to click on the title bar, if you know what i mean.

Video playlists please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I try to play a video playlist at the end of one show the screen reverts to the library and I must click to get the video back. an earlier post said that if you change preferences to show video in a seperate window and then chose full screen at the start of the list that would solve the problem. this has not worked for me. Any ideas why?

I figured it out- at the top of the tiny window that "shows arwork" there are apparently 2 choices. select song and now playing - now playing is the ticket

Will iOS 6 feature video playlists for IPAD

Ok - so iOS 5 music app on IPAD does not show video playlists - even though iOS5 app on IPOD Touch and IPHONE do show them. Will iOS 6 fix this? I need video playlists. I travel a lot for work and this keeps me going when i get back to the hotel room. Please don't suggest some 3rd party app.

Not only aren't playlists added to videos, they took away our ability to watch video playlists through the music app on iPhone. I wonder what Apple has against a video playlists on its devices.
Since videos are no longer stored or viewed in the music app, a video playlist there would be sort of pointless now, wouldn't it.

I don't know why it stopped working but it happened a month or two ago but the option on this phone that's usually all the way to the left when you select your device but now its not and I don't know what caused it. ive already tried troubleshooting my problem but have found no help.

Hello Salmomma,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:
iPhone not appearing in iTunes

Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.

IPod touch 5 lag issue running iOS 8.1 ( PLEASE RESOLVE THIS ASAP)

OMG, i'm just fed up of using this iPod 5 after this new update of apple's iOS 8.1. I did checkout iOS 8.1.1 but as it bought no changes to the performance i just downgraded it back to iOS 8.1. Well performance really matters on a device. The day i updated it to iOS 8, my iPod 5's performance has been sluggish and worse when compared to the old iOS 7.1.2 . If i had chance to downgrade it now i would do it asap but unfortunately there isn't any way but to suffer with this new sluggish iOS 8.1. If there is someway that apple can help us then its by increasing the performance on such A5 devices like iPhone 4S, iPad..., iPod touch 5, then please help us. If i ask this question "Is there anyway to increase or speed up my performance of my iPod 5", Then the reply from you people would be to either buy a new device by dumping this or to remove background apps,reduce motion etc. (WHICH I HAVE ALREADY DONE.) and the performance is WORSE or UNBEARABLE on this device after updating to iOS 8 - iOS 8.1. When i just tap settings it takes about 3 - 4 secs or more to show up which is too bad. Please try to solve this issue on older devices running A5 chip by either giving us an another opportunity to downgrade to iOS 6 or 7 (PLEASE) or by improving this current OS performance issue just like iOS 7. I request you to solve this issues for the people like us who are an APPLE fan and still using devices running A5 chip and we just like it so much but please don't let us hate it by making it's performance worse. Yes, i do know that the all new iOS 8 was made for the newer devices running new CHIP, but then why did the update just come up for devices running A5 chip then if it would ruin the performance? Or was this is a marketing strategy to make our device's performance unbearable and worse so we hate it and buy a new device so you can increase your sales? Everyone cannot afford a device just like that as time goes. I further pledge you people to solve this sluggish performance issue on these older device who got this iOS 8 updates (RUNNING A5 chip).
Thank You for your time for reading my message.

It would be nice if you told others the steps you've tried and/or how you used to have your setup.
Anyway have you tried tapping MORE this will then bring you to
the selection-list of Audiobooks, Genres, Compilations & Composers.
Selecting Genres gives you a list of all your music split into genres which was set within the Music downloaded via iTunes or uploaded from CD or which you may have set yourself.
Then you just select the Genre you want:
If certent songs are not correctly gategorised you may need to go into iTunes and reselect via Get-info
>Info>Genre and change it there. That way you should end up with all songs of Jazz or other in 1 place.

Running itunes 10.6.1.7. did reorg of lib to new struct. reorg left all video podcasts in old folder. I cannot view video podcasts itunes or download. help please.

I just installed itunes 10.6.1.7. on a new PC connected an external hard drive containing my itunes library and pointed to my library on an external hard drive.
I also did reorganization of my library structure via "organize library" menu option. The reorg left all video podcasts in the old podcast folder and will not let me copy them to the new podcast folder.
From the itunes store I cannot select a new video podcast and download and view it in itunes. The podcast will show up but the file or episode has a "GET" button next to it and never shows it as available to view in itunes. I have attempted to download many time with no success.
I have podcasts that are all video podcasts and some that are mixed audio podcasts and video podcasts. in both cases the video podcasts remained in the original folder location.
The video podcasts are not in movies or in tv shows. All music is present and accounted for that I know.
How can I restore all video podcasts previously downloaded and view them on itunes or an ipod?
Can I create a video podcast option in itunes?
Please help.

Issue solved - It turns out that the QuickTime version on my PC was 6.5 and I needed to update to version 7.6 or higher to allow videos to play in iTunes. I updated to QuickTime version 7.7 and then added the old podcast folder to iTunes while in podcasts. This found all video podcast content and then the auto reorg moved all folders to the new podcast directory. For the videos I manually moved earlier, I had to move (not copy) them back to the old directory or folder then add that old folder and they were now in the right directory and viewable in iTunes.

Why are my videos no longer showing up in playlists after iOS 5 upgrade?

Hi there,
In the past, all I need to do to view my video playlist was to use the iPod app. However, after the iOS 5 update, it appears that the iPod app is gone and its closest equivalent is the music app, which does not list any of my videos that I *know* are present on the iPad. Does anyone have an idea of how to deal with video playlists after the iOS 5 update?
thanks,
--Dany.

Yes, I agree, especially since the Music app on my iPod Touch has more features than the Music app on my iPad.

Hi,
The Buddy's Audio can get dropped completely if the speed of your Internet connections are vastly different.
For example the minimum speed for a 1-1 video chat is only 128kbps Upload (As Downloads tend to be faster).
Where I live in the United Kingdom I can only get DLS. This is further subject to the distance to the Exchange.
DLS at less than 3.5 km can be done at 20Mb at most exchanges.
At some exchanges there is roll out of some Fibre optic services.
In most larger towns and cities there is normally the option of a Cable service that offers similar figures.
In some parts of Sweden you can get 100Mbps services.
When the speed from your ISP varies a large amount then iChat will drop Frames to smooth out the Video
There comes a point when so many frames are dropped that the Audio will not make sense and will be dropped.
At about 128kbps a 5% variance will take you below the 100kbps mark (after allowing for the actual connection overheads)
At 10Mbps that 5% variance can be (in round terms) 500kbps
(A 500kbps service is itself good enough for a 4 way Video chat)
My experience is that PC users on AIM tend to only send the Pic at 10 frames a second (Fps). Any slower than this and the picture losses it's smoothness and flow.
You may see different Speeds and Frame Rates when you Call Out compared to when others Call In.
Setting the Bandwidth Limit to a lower figure such as 500kbps (fast enough for 4 way chats) may get around any variances in the speeds you see in the Connection Doctor during a live chat.
