Video Playlists

Hello All.
I am using front row to access a large amount of video's that are stored on my Windows Vista PC with iTunes. (via streaming)
Everything is working great. The only thing that i can figure out, is, why Front Row will only see the video content, but, wont see any Video Playlists that are on the Vista PC.
Does Front Row support video playlists?

Does Front Row support video playlists?
Not right now. We've been waiting for this feature since it became available on the 3rd generation iPod nano. Now they're up to a 4th generation iPod nano and so far there's no indication it's coming to Front Row. It works in iTunes, so you'd hope it would work in Front Row.
I'd send Apple some Mac OS X feedback and let them know directly that this feature is important to you.

Videos don't show up on iPod video playlist

Maybe I'm not understanding something, but I subscribe to a coupld of video podcasts. They update fine off iTunes and they synch over to my iPod. The problem is, they don't show up in any of the video playlists. They show up under the 'recently added' list of both music and video files.
How can I get these things to list in the Video Podcast playlist?? Thanks for your help and thoughts!

Julia,
Do you have a Fifth Generation iPod, or not?
Only Fifth Generation iPods are compatible with any videos, which include video podcasts that you try to download onto it.
So, if you have a Nano, for example, it isn't won't be capable of playing any video files, sorry.
If you're unsure what model of iPod you have, check out this article which has info about different iPods here: Identifying different iPod models

Hopefully someone can help.... I have an Iphone 5 and want to create a music video playlist on my phone so then i can play through my apple tv... but when i make a playlist in itunes and try to add it over to my iphone it wont let me sync the playlist...? I have already added the music videos to my iphone so that is not the problem.... i cant seem to figure out how to make a playlist for them... IE: to make the videos play consecutively in the order i want without stopping after each video and gong back to the list.... this is what i have had to resort to make it work....what i want to do....is be able to make a playlist of videos on my iphone 5....take my apple tv to friends houses and with wifi....set up apple tv and play videos at the party and not have to stand by with the remote and find a new video to play stopping the music between the songs/videos....very annoying....and have spent over 4 hours one day and an hour and a half today on the phone today with a sr. advisor with apple and they have no clue.... this seems sooooo simple.... please somebody that really knows how to do this....i will be indebted forever...............

Thank you for replying. Yes I deleted the old email address..

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually.

Hi. Downloaded iphone 6.0 and my video playlists in "Music" are now gone, but their names are still there. The videos are still in "Videos" and play from there 1 at a time manually. It gets weirder:
When looking at the empty screen with the name of my former playlist on top, if I tap the edit button on the phone, tap the + button to add a 'song' to the playlist, and then tap 'Done' without adding anything, I can see all my videos in the playlist with the red minus symbol next to each of them. But as soon as I tap 'Done' again they all disappear!
I saw on another forum that someone has had the same problem but fixed it by, and I quote
"If you go to Get Info and change the Media Kind from Movie to Music Video under the Options tab, they all now appear in the playlists!"
I'm happy this worked for him, but when I tap "File" in itunes, the "Get info" field is greyed out, so I can't test the solution proposed.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you

On my iPad3, in the Music app, I can find my video playlists in my iTunes library, but they are all empty. This works fine on my iPhone4. Does anybody know what the problem is?

BACKGROUND: When I'm home, using my iPhone4 and MacPro/iTunes library, I've been watching video on my iPhone via the Home Sharing feature of the said devices. I have lots of videos in my iTunes library, so I've set up lots of video playlists to help organize stuff, and also to more quickly zone in on the video I want to watch from my iPhone and AppleTV. So here's the process I go through when I want to watch a video on my iPhone: go into the Music app, then hit the "More..." selection (along the bottom right of screen), then hit the "Shared" selection, then hit the "Bob's iTunes Library" selection, then hit the "Playlists" selection (along the bottom left of screen), then find/select the video playlist of choice, then find/select the video of choice, then start watching. Aside from the occasional spontaneous disconnect issue I've been having lately, it all works like a charm.
(NOTE: I tried the same procedure using the Videos app on my iPhone, but there doesn't seem to be a way to see the video playlists in this app.)
TO THE PRESENT: So when I got my shiny new iPad3 this Monday, the very first thing I did was try to replicate this process on the iPad3. Because both the Videos app and the Music app look very different on the iPad vs their iPhone counterparts, I tried this using the Videos app first, but ran into the same problem as on the iPhone - there's no way (as far as I can tell) to view/access the video playlists in this app – all I see are icons, one for each video. I then tried the Music app, and steps are identical to the iPhone version. I got as far as getting to see my playlists, and then selecting the video playlist of interest, but once there, no videos are in the playlist, only a single song(??). In fact, none of the video playlists have any video files in them (some have song tracks??).

Same problem on my ipad 2...but it works well on my iphone 4s.
Can somebody help me?
Thank you

How do I prevent the video file name from showing up on apple tv looping video playlist?

Ok so here is my dilemma. I use my apple tv as a way to loop a video playlist on my tv for guests. I usually only have 2 videos that play and they loop continuously all day just fine. However, when one video ends and the other begins, the file name appears (I'm assuming it's the file name) at the bottom left corner as the video is starting. Is there a way to get rid of that? I want a streamlined experience and it takes away from the video. So, all in all I have an apple tv. I use it to loop a video playlist on a tv for people to watch in the background. When a video begins, the file name appears and I want to know if I can get rid of that through the apple tv. Also note both videos were edited in iMovie. Thank you.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Is there a way to get rid of that?
Unfortunately not.

How can I create a Music Video playlist (for Universal Dock)?

Ok, I created a smart playlist of all my Music Videos but this is a music playlist.
I want a *Music Video* playlist so that all my music videos will play one after the other without user interaction (when playing in the Universal Dock with it's useless remote control).
Is this even possible?

MVP video playlist app is the one you want download

Can no longer sync movie video playlist after update?

I recently performed the 3.0 update to my iPhone 3g with no apparent issues. However, I went to play a movie video last night and discovered that only my music videos had synced (all were previously on the iPhone with no problems). Checking the iPhone settings under video I noticed that the tab lists a section for movie rentals and TV shows but does not specifically call out movies that you own. Under tv shows is where I normally expect to select which video playlist to sync for which none were available (even though I have one with 3 movie videos in it). It looks like it handles tv show video playlists only which I have not tested.
This is different from before the update where I could sync any video playlist I wanted. The videos were all downloaded from iTunes so there should be no issues or questions about format and source. Am I missing something? Thanks.

after you connect your iPhone and go to the 'video' tab, if you scroll down, you should see your 'movies' section which should list the 'movie' files you have in the 'movies' section of iTunes. if you select the videos you want to sync, hit save/apply and sync, you should get the videos on your iPhone.
video playlists will only sync files in the 'tv shows' category, not files in the 'movies' category of iTunes. i'm not sure why they did it like this, but they did, and it highly annoys me. my work around is to make all of my 'movies' go into the 'tv shows' category, which i can then add to a playlist and have it synced. more work, but it works...

Video playlists no longer auto-playing (4.3)

I've noticed that my music video playlists no longer auto-play from one song to the the next with the latest OS update (iPhone 4.3, Apple TV 4.2). Basically, a music video stops and the next one doesn't start until I press play again.
Any solutions?

I have the same problem.
I am using an iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3) and various Apple TVs (4.2).
When i start a playlist with music videos from the iTunes store, the first video will be played on the Apple TV and then Apple TV plays this Video again but "repeat" is not selected. Actually the next clip in the list shut be played. Seems to be a bug :-(

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??

Any way to get Front Row to show video playlists such as TV shows?

I can get AppleTV now to show the TV show playlists in iTunes as their own menu items. However, I can't seem to get Front Row in 10.6 to do the same thing.
I currently have iTunes 8.2.1 in 10.6.0. Is this something either upgrading to 10.6.1 or iTunes 9 will enable?

Front Row users have been waiting for this option since video playlists first appeared in iTunes quite some time ago. Unfortunately, I've never been able to make it work. Why Apple can't enable what seems like a simple options is beyond me. My iPod nano can do it but Front Row on my Mac can't. I'd advise you to send Apple some Mac OS X feedback since there's no specific form for Front Row itself:

Video playlists won't play automatically?

I have kid's videos that are less than 4 minutes apiece, so that I have to automatically click every time it goes to the next video. Without consolidating all the videos into one file, how can I make a video playlist that will go to the next video automatically? I have a video playlist, but it still stops after every video is done and I still have to manually click through to the next one.

thanks

Video playlist?

i know how to embed a single video from youtube in muse, but how do i go about creating a video playlist of several videos?

Hi,
To do that you will have to embed certain code in your Muse file, which you can do either by Object->Insert HTML or Page Properties->Metadata.
Please refer to this page to find out how this can be done,

Can't find video playlist in iPhone 4s

I also tried to make a playlist with both audio and video. But only audio shows up in the iPhone.
Could anyone please enlighten me on this??
Thanks for now!

Appletv will not repeat a video playlist more than 3 times via AirPlay

Trying to AirPlay a video playlist from my laptop to apple tv and have it repeat.
It repeats on laptop but will only repeats a few times on apple tv then stops and goes to appletv menu

Both in-coming and out-going.
Went through all the advanced settings with MediaTemple.
They said everything is set up correctly.
Again, the exact same username and password combination work perfectly when used to login via webmail.
The same settings work perfectly to login to the same account via my MBP.
I am only having problems with this IMAP account on my iPhone.
Because the same username and password combination work perfectly on webmail,
MediaTemple therefore says it's an Apple problem and sends me to ask Apple.
I acknowledge it very well could be a problem on the server side, saying there's no problem with any iPhone and IMAP because you've had no problem with the iPhone with IMAP is pretty rich. Googling iPhone and IMAP problems pulls up a lot of results, many of them leading to other people having various problems here in these very support forums. The most infuriating response is when you talk to the hardware/software vendor (here), they always say, "no problem on our end, talk to your service provider" and when you talk to the service provider they say, "no problem on our end, talk to Apple." And everyone just points fingers at the other guy.

Music Playlist shows video playlists - iPod BUG. IS IT JUST ME?

I have the 160GB ipod classic. I have several video playlists set up (to manage music videos, other movies, etc.). When I select "music" from the main menu, then select "playlists" to pull up my music playlists as set up on iTunes, I see all of my video playlists listed and they show "0 SONGS" under the playlist name, obviously because they are not supposed to have songs and only have videos. When I click on the video playlist from this menu, the ipod hangs on a white screen (forever!) until I press menu to return the music playlist menu... Is it just me or is this one of the many continued bugs that the iPod classic still has even after the 1.0.2 software update?
APPLE - PLEASE FIX THIS BUG WITH THE OTHERS AND RELEASE 1.0.3 SOFTWARE ASAP!!!

I did realize that I also have a "music videos" (smart) playlist that shows all music videos. Since these have songs in them, they are listed also...
