Video podcasts dont play in itunes 7.0.2

i have recently upgraded my itunes to version 7.0.2. and since then none of the video podcasts i subscribe to can be played.
itunes downloads the podcast but does not store or play it and a little grey exclamation mark tells me that an error occured while adding the episode to itunes (i am translating the error message, so the phrasing might not be spot on) and that the file may be damaged or that itunes cannot play this type of file.
but that also happens with episodes i had watched on the very same computer in the old itunes.
it really drives me mad, since podcasts are pretty much the only thing i have time to watch at the moment.
any solutions?

im having the same problem... all you can see is orange, blue, etc. outlines rite? cause thats what i have...
only time will tell though, unfortunatly

  • Video Podcasts not playing on remote speakers

    I'm unable to get the audio from my video podcasts to play on my remote speakers. Instead they play only through my laptop speakers even when the airtunes speakers are selected. Audio podcasts and music mp3's work fine.
    tested on iBook G3 & Powerbook G4 with iTunes 7.6 on 10.4.11
    mac/airport card > airport express > speaker system.

    That would be a feature, not a bug. The audio track from videos isn't supported through airport express. As I understand it, this is because there is a slight lag and you'd end up with unsychronized audio. However, I think the latest version of Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil may be able to do what you want. I haven't tried it so I don't know how good the results are.

  • HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

    I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

    tl:dr?
    Really?
    There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
    Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
    I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

  • HD video won't play in iTunes after Mountain Lion install.

    any hd video won't play in iTunes.

  • Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.

    Certain music videos will not play in iTunes.  The music plays fine but not the video.  No picture.  Same with the iPod.  Other videos in the library play fine. Help.

    Regular playlists vs smart playlist does not make a difference. What I noticed is that some videos create this behavior and some not. I created 2 videos and 2 music playlists, one with 2 songs and 2 videos (that I encoded myself with Handbrake). Another list with 2 videos and 2 songs, videos encoded with Handbrake, but that I noticed they triggered the behavior. The first playlist played fine, with no problems. The second one, created the problem. When I look at the video, it is the same type of video (bit rate, audio channels, etc...) I don't see why it would do that.
    Later I will test: playing those videos in question and then selecting songs to see if they play.

  • Ipod Classic will no longer play video podcasts after upgrade to iTunes 10.

    I have a 120GB Classic. I used to be able to play video podcasts just fine. Since upgrading to iTunes 10.0 in September I can see Podcasts with a little video symbol next to them on the iPod, but when I click on them the screen goes black for a couple of seconds, then flips back to the menu. If I copy the Podcast to a playlist, I get audio but no video, as always. The video podcast plays fine on the PC. I've tried "converting to iPod or iPhone version" with no success. I've Googled this problem and found many others with this issue, none with their question answered. Does anyone know if this is an issue acknowledged by Apple, and if so, do they plan to fix it? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
    Thanks.

    am having the same problem with hannah montana episodes, anyone have a solution? apple?

  • I can't get certain video podcasts to play properly in iTunes 11.2.1 for windows

    I have the latest version of iTunes for Windows on two different Windows PC's the one is a new Tablet purchased this month. I installed iTunes onto it and authorized it.  I subscribe to lots of podcast subscriptions some of which of video and some of which of audio.  I have been having trouble with the CNET video Podcasts such as First Look, CarTech, and HowTo.  When I try to play the podcasts the video becomes jerky and will not be synced with the audio.  The video sometimes flickers and then the video portion will sometimes flicker and then black out completely.  The pdocast will either finish playing in this state or I get a message saying "iTunes is out of memory or Windows tells me that the entire program has stopped working.  I thought these errors were due to the underpowered processor and only having 2GB of RAM so I went back to my "Daily Driver" which is a Dell XPS 15" with 12GB of RAM and an Intel Core I7 processor.  On the Dell computer this previous was not happening but now this one is starting to do it as well.  Audio only poducasts play just fine as well as video podcasts from TWIT.TV such as Windows Weekly, Security Now, and iFIVE for the IPhone. I have updated to the latest windows drivers for the video and chipsets on each machine but to no avail.  Any help is greatly appreciated. 

    Well, I guess those videos are not supported by the current version of iTunes.
    I originally had iTunes set to "Open in 32-bit mode" so I could watch these videos. But apparently, since I upgraded iTunes (and OS X), that setting no longer enables those videos to play. When that selection was enabled (Open in 32-bit mode), I experienced the behavior above. Once I de-selected that setting, and re-opened iTunes to try the video again, I recieved a message that stated "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
    So, I guess I am out of luck?
    This is hard to believe.
    here is the issue, described again, in a question that has gone unanswered since October:

  • Cant play or import video podcasts from garageband to itunes

    Hi,
    ive just update iTunes to version 7.2, however since doing this i can no longer import any kind of video podcast or imovie file to itunes. This is driving me mad as its very important for me to be able to do this as its a big part of my job!
    If i delete the video track in garageband and just export it as a normal audio podcast it works fine, its just video files that are the problem, im pretty sure its iTunes related and not garageband, any ideas about whats going wrong?
    (iTunes and garageband have both been updated)

    Mike you are an absolute legend. Thankyou, this has been troubling me for weeks. Works perfectly now mate, nice one!
    On another note, why did quicktime not update itself automatically, as i did do software up date, even ran software update from quicktime, but it didnt find anything, even though it was only on 7.0.4, surely it should have updated itself and saved me all the trouble?

  • Videos won't play in iTunes

    TV, Video Podcast, Movies - none of them play in iTunes 10.5.3.  A windows pops up, you have the PAUSE button showing as if it's playing but nothing is happening, just a still shot of the video.  They play fine in quicktime.
    I re-installed iTunes, no luck.

    My friend sent me a music video, but it won't play in
    iTunes. It is formatted so that it should play, but
    all I see is white, green, and orange bars! The file
    plays in QuickTime now that I changed my setting to
    "Safe Mode" and also plays on my iPod, but what do I
    do for it to work in iTunes!? Thank you in advance
    for the help!

  • What is the best compression for HDV 1080i60 video to be played on iTunes?

    Hello guys,
    I would like to make an HDV video podcast for iTunes and possibly for other podcasting sites. My source format is HVD 1080i60, each episode would be about 10 minutes long. So I am wondering what format, compression and settings work best while keeping reasonable quality.
    Thank you for any tip or advise.

    One thing I forgot to mention: the Apple TV setting H.264 file won't play on an iPod. If you did need an iPod/iPhone compatible version, then the export setting to use would be Movie to iPod. This will make a 640x360 file. The full explanation of the differences between iPod and Apple TV formats is at http://www.apple.com/itunes/store/podcaststechspecs.html#formattingvideo

  • Can't get video podcasts to play on my Iphone

    When I download them, they display properly in ITunes in the little video window. However, when I try playing them from my Iphone, I get audio only. What gives? Thanks for any help!
    - robjohn

    This is an area where the iPhone does not work like the iPod with Video.
    In my case, I create a series of playlists called "Podcasts 1 Day Ago", "Podcasts 2 Days Ago", etc. so I can sort through them in order that I added them. On the iPod, going in to Playlists-> will just play the audio for the videos in that list, but going in through Movies->Video Playlists will play audio and switch on video when it hits a video podcast. Works great.
    On iPhone, this does not work. It ignores video items in the playlist, but if you manually allow the specified podcasts to sync they will show up under video. So you have to do it in multiple places, and can't just rely on a playlist like the iPod does.
    Maybe version 1.1?

  • Video podcast only playing audio on iPod

    Hi,
    In the past (iTunes 11.4) I was able to download a video podcast from a website and link it to iTunes by adding it to the library. It would automatically show up in home videos so I would right-click the file, get info, and then change the media kind to podcast. It would then join the rest of the episodes in podcasts. Then when I synced my iPod it would copy the file to the podcasts app and I could watch the video.
    Now using iTunes 12.0.1.26 when I repeat those steps the podcast joins the rest of the episodes in the podcasts section in iTunes and plays as a video in iTunes, but when viewing the podcasts in episode list view the video icon is missing (although strangely it appears in the standard podcast view). And when I sync the podcast to my iPod and I play it through the podcasts app it plays as an audio only podcast. When I check the file system at /var/mobile/Media/iTunes_Control/Music/Fxx the video file is there and can be played as a video using the default video app, so there must be something iTunes is doing to tell the iPod to play it as audio only.
    I have noticed in iTunes that when I get info of the previously added podcast episodes that it shows video properties whereas the newly added episodes do not and if I select new and old episodes at the same time and try to Get Info a message pops up saying "Your selection contains more than one kind of media." Whereas if I only select the new episodes or only select the old episodes, it doesn't pop up.
    Also in Get Info, under options, the new episode show an option for equalizer (although it is greyed out and cannot be change), whereas the older episodes do not. And under Sorting, the new episodes have an option to sort podcast whereas the old episodes do not.
    *(Old episodes refers to episodes added in iTunes 11.4, new episodes refers to episodes added in iTunes 12.0.1.26)
    Thank you.

    Hello, I just had success getting things to work once with podcasts then tried it with iTunesU after I could not repeat it with podcasts. I had the same problem, What I ended doing with iTunesU I'm sure you can apply to podcasts it appears to be an iTunes 12 issue not an iOS issues but affects iOS devices 6,7,8. I just got lucky with solution. I am quite vague on what I did, so in coming days ( had enough today) I'm going to attempt it again and write an exact procedure. but while its fresh in my mind this is what I think I did with iTunesU to get same functionality as podcasts. Firstly talk about what we use to do, as you would do in the past I i used get info then changed it to podcast, as we know that won't work and files play as audio only. So I got my (the ones that wouldn't work on iPad but did on the mac) podcasts in iTunes and selected all (contents of podcast) then get info, i then changed them on mass to home video again( it protests but you continue). I then went to normal library ( can't recall what its called these days) created an empty playlist folder, then from my standard library i dragged all videos into it. I then selected all get info changed to iTunes U (i tried podcast i did succeed once but could not repeat) also changed institution and and instructor ( i think they must be in to work????)( I would say as it relates to podcasts you follow a similar procedure, my gut tells me its not working due to missing fields, we must work out which need filling in)
    From there plugged in iPad clicked devices tab, strangely then left the actual collection in question unchecked, however below that box is another that says include items from playlist, i checked mine that i created earlier , playlist will only appear there if you went through the painful approach at start ( i.e. in get info you made the whole playlist is of type ' iTunes U' , I assume will be a similar case with podcasts). I then synced. didn't think it worked, then closed app on device and opened it and perfect there it was and it played video and then played next after etc
    I am sure i have unnecessary steps but it was guess work. once I've refined it ill post technique. I'm certain it all hinges on making other fields right other than podcasts and them all being changed to the same at the same time. was weird that include from playlist worked rather than collections. that is probably key too.
    Hope this is helpful, just a disclaimer i included to much info because the answer is in there.

  • Video podcast only playing in small screen on ipod

    Help. My ipod video 80gb has just started playing all my video podcasts in a miniature sized screen with the title next to it.... how do i get it back to the full ipod screen. They used to play full screen. ANY suggestions will rock....thanks.

    Help. My ipod video 80gb has just started playing all my video podcasts in a miniature sized screen with the title next to it.... how do i get it back to the full ipod screen. They used to play full screen.
    If you are referring to a "thumbnail" with title to the right, either reset the "TV out" software switch to "Off" or ensure you are playing your podcasts under the Video menu and not the Music menu.

  • Can't sync movies and video podcasts wont play

    I just got a 6th gen nano today and the movies will not show up on the nano. Also when I play any video podcast the video keeps freezing but the sound keeps going. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so, how do I fix it?

    It also lacks Games and Photos.
    I have an iPod Touch now, but i also enjoy my iPod Nano 4G. The difference between them is the weight and the way commands are given: analog but wasy to use (even with eyes closed or one hand and on the moove), versatile options and small versus touch commands, huge screen, but big, in need of great care while handling and of both hands to command.
    This is not a decision to differenciate the iPod Nano 6G from iPod Touch, iPod Classic and iPhone, but it's actually not a Nano. It's iPod Shuffle with touch commands - nothing more, but a lot worse than any iPod Shuffle or previous iPod Nano.
