Video podcasts only playing in audio on ipod touch

Hey my ipod touch only plays the audio of the downloaded video podcasts, can someone help me please ?

If you play through music > more> podcast you will only hear audio! On the home screen there is a video app right next to the music app. So click on the video app and scrll down and you should be able to watch video podcast from there!

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.

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.

IMORTED AUDIO/VIDEO FILE ONLY PLAYS THE AUDIO WITH A BLACK SCREEN

I'm trying to put a DVD together of my friends' concert, but every time I export from AVID to a QT file, import it, transcode it, and put it in a timeline, it only plays audio and a black screen.
I went back into AVID and made sure that I exported both audio and video...I did. Then I checked the QT file, and it plays the audio and video.
I exported the files as uncompressed. Should I use a compressor?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks.

I recently made another DVD with the same settings that turned out fine, so I'm not sure what the problem is with this one.
Thanks.

Some of my Movies and video podcasts won't upload to my ipod touch

I've been uploading my dvd collection on to my computer through a handy application called handbreak, the main reason for this was so I could watch it on my ipod touch on its beautiful display, but the problem is that it won't upload because the video says the ipod won't support it. I checked the format, mp4 which works in itunes fine, then I checked the size of each and they were quite big since I set the encoding to normal but It should upload even if it's a little big. Another problem is with my video podcasts, some of their HD content won't transfer over, this majority blows because I don't want to compress every single episode. Why is it not working?, and could their be a solution to this besides compressing each file in quicktime pro?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Right click on the video (or select multiple videos and right click) and choose "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone".

How could I fix a podcast video that only plays the audio?

My series of videos submitted to itunes podcast play fine except one, that only the audio plays but no video, how could I fix this?

Post a link like this so people can easily right-click and download the feed to take a look at it or copy/paste URL into post.

After looking at the 803 KB file you can see (well, hear) that the m4v file is only audio. http://www.40dayusa.com/photos/339485388_6Fv5j-640.mp4
This might have happened during movie export or file upload to server. After checking that the video plays in QT player locally re-upload the file to the correct directory with audio+video.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

Embedded video files only play audio

The newest version of Keynote (v. 4) in iWork '08 will only play the audio portion of video files I add to it. The first frame of the video shows in the navigator panel, and the files show up and are viewable in the media browser. The selection handles for the video files are visible but that's all. This version also doesn't show the video content created in previous versions of keynote. In version 3 files I'd had .avi and .mov files that worked fine. I've checked the quicktime settings in system preferences to make sure that they were set properly. Suggestions?

After posting the original question about the newest version of Keynote (v. 4) in iWork '08 only playing the audio portion of video files I add to it, I tried every possible fix.
Since I'd been using a newer PCI video card recently, I tried just hooking up the monitor to the AGP video card that was still installed and it solved the problem.
If anyone is considering using Keynote v.4, make sure that you have either an AGP or PCI express slot for the graphics card you use since a regular PCI graphics card won't support video or animation files you add to Keynote.

My old movies now only play the audio

My old movies that used to work just fine on my 60 GB Ipod are now only playing as audio files.
The problem started about a month ago, not sure why. Probably windows, lol. When i went to the video list all of a sudden EVERY song and video was being displayed as a video. However, the tracks that were truly videos were playing as audio only. So i went to video settings and made sure that it wasn't on tv out. The problem persists. So then i connected my ipod to my computer and under the ipod summary screen it says i have audio, photos, but no video. So i went to "get info" on the videos to see if they had changed into audio files but it still says under "summary" and then "kind" that it is a MPEG-4 video file. So then i tried playing it in itunes and IT WORKS FINE! I will mention again that all these videos were playing just fine before. What is going on!?!?
HEEEELP!!!!
- Windows XP Windows suks.

Go to edit-->preferences with the iPod showing up in iTunes and hit the iPod tab. Then hit the podcasts tab under the iPod. Make sure transfer all podcasts is bubbled. Now go to the videos tab and make sure transfer all videos is selected. Click okay.
See if they now appear

Videos and video Podcasts won't sync anymore to iPod

I have a 5th generation 30G Video iPod and used to have all the same videos and video Podcasts playing just fine on my iPod. I reinstalled Mac OS X on my Macbook and added all the videos and videoPodcasts back to my iTunes library and while they play in iTunes just fine they don't sync to iPod anymore... The error message says:
'Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including video "..." were not copied to the iPod " X " because they cannot be played on this iPod.'
And as said - in the past these same videos and video podcasts were playing just fine on this very same iPod... Can anyone help?
All the audio library is being synced and plays perfectly well on iPod. And games too.

Andrew, have you tried re-installing QuickTime? That might fix it. Download it from Apple:

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.

You Tube videos will only play at 360p and 240p, no 480p. Was working before yesterday.

Standard definition You Tube videos will only play at 360p and 240p, no 480p. HD videos will play at 720p, no 1080p. It was working until yesterday. I have not made any changes to Firefox. I tried upgrading to the latest version. This is not helping either. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer. The problem exists on both of my computers.

hello kmcvety, this should be an issue which is going to be resolved in firefox 36 - you could try it out right now in the beta version:

My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen.

My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock from my iPod, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen. Help me please.

Have you tried resetting the dock by removing it from power? What about resetting the iPod Touch? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

No audio on ipod touch 4th generation when recording videos

no audio on ipod touch 4th generation when recording videos

Does the Voice Memos app work? It has a VU meter to show recording level.
Is the microphone hole clear? It is the hole on the backside of the iPod by the camera lens.
Did it ever work?
