Video podcasts play as audio only.

Since the release of Podcasts, I have been using it to watch my regular assortment of video podcasts. On at least two occassions (so far) the app has decided to play only the audio from the podcast using the audio interface and ignore the video. Switching podcasts does not help. To top it off, even in audio mode, the audio controls do not seem to function properly. The only fix I have found is to exit back to the Home screen, terminate the background Podcasts process and relaunch.
If I look at the information for the podcast episodes they are properly identified as video podcasts and play properly once the app is relaunched.

You're welcome!

  • How do you rotate still image on timeline in CS 5.5.2 PP, when another timeline is open and video is off and audio only is used. ?

    I am using a clip with video off and using audio only on second timeline.
    The some still images need rotating,  (on the  main timeline ) it easy to do that in the monitor when I am not using an additional video timeline. however, I cannot orient the horizontal images to vertical .?
    I have turned the second video off and , I am using audio only .
    Any ideas ?

    it easy to do that in the monitor
    Select image in timeline, then go up to the Effect Controls and highlight the word Motion.
    Now a bounding box will appear in the Program Monitor.

  • Why do some videos opened/played from Safari only open to about a 2" square. Can't get a full screen view?

    Why do some videos opened/played from Safari only open to about a 2" square. Can't get a full screen view? I have Safari 5.0.6 and QuickTime Player 7.7. Thanks

    Hi, Daryl -
    If you moved the G4 around to make room for the new machine, that could have jarred the processor loose. It's not unusual for that to happen to an older machine, though it usually happens to RAM or cables, not to the processor.
    Years of heating and cooling can loosen a connection and cause some oxidation of the contacts; subsequent moving of the machine, coupled with just a bit of thumping or torquing of the chassis, can cause the connection to fail. Reseating the connection not only makes it secure again, it usually wipes the oxidation off of the contacts.

  • Video Podcasts Playing Audio Only

    I'm trying to play some video Podcast's that I DL'd from Itunes, I made sure they were Ipod Compatible and not Apple TV, they show up under Podcasts but play audio only. This is a Brand New 30gb 5.5g

    You say you get the audio only. What do you see when you play the podcast: Does it look like when a song is playing from your music library? If so, you may just be accessing the Podcast from the wrong menu. Make sure you go through the Videos menu.

  • 1.1.3 - iPod Touch video podcasts play sound; only still image

    For some strange reason, since getting the new update (but not the January update as I'm not going to pay £13 for that!) for my iPod Touch, video podcasts of trailers downloaded from Apple Trailers through iTunes play as sound files with a random frame from the video appearing as album art.
    So if I turn my iPod Touch horizontal, the single image shows up at the end of Cover Flow as audio podcasts do when being played. However, there is no video at all. Normal videos play fine.
    What the **** is going on?

    Oh ... I'm so stupid. Sorry - when I wrote that they don't show up under VIDEO, I didn't actually check.
    They are there and they do work. In fact, I think that as long as people like me remember which is which, having videos only play audio when played from the PODCASTS section is quite useful in some circumstances.
    I've learnt my lesson.
    Now if only I could get that update for free ...

  • Front Row & Video Podcast Play Count

    I have one of the new Core Duo 20" iMacs. I've found that Front Row does something unexepected. When I watch a video podcast through Front Row, and I mean watch it to the end of the file, the play count in iTunes is not updated. I've checked, and the count is updated for music files and audio podcasts. This only seems to happen with video podcasts. Any else having this problem? Solutions?
    I suspect it's happening because audio is probably played through iTunes, whereas the video is Quicktime.
    Thanks in advance,
    J

    I don't haven't used Front Row to play movies or video - but the problem you are describing has been happening in both Quicktime and iTunes on my Mac, ever since I installed Leopard. There are a few things I've tried that work to get the video and audio back in sync - one is to pause the video, and to leave it paused for 5 or 10 minutes. When I come back and restart it, sometimes it will play normally. The other thing that I've tried is to actually shut down iTunes and restart it - for some reason that works a bit more consistently.
    Another problem I have is less dire - and that is occasionally a video or movie will lose its audio altogether - when that happens the "fix" is to stop the video for a few seconds, then restart it. It usually works. Again, the operative word is usually. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to stop this from happening at all - which is what I'd prefer, but these fixes (and sometimes a combination of them) will get me through a movie. I'd love some guidance from the home office on this though! Anyone at Apple care to take a bite?

  • Change video podcast to an audio podcast?

    my ipod nano can play video podcasts, so is there a way to get only the audio of the podcast so i can put in my ipod

    If you subscribe to them all then they will all download to each device. All I can think of is deleting the ones you don't want on each device. The only other alternative would be to not actually subscribe to any podcasts on the iPad, but simply download the video ones as individual episodes,but that does mean remembering to go looking for them, because they won't automatically download without subscription.

  • Why are my video podcasts playing slow?

    After installing the latest update in iTunes for windows, my video podcasts are playing in slow motion, but the audio is normal. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, shutting down, restarting.....nothing works. Has anyone experienced this before?

    Do you have Flash installed?   Check HD > Library > Internet Plug-Ins
    If the Flash Player app is not in the Internet Plug-ins folder, download and install from here.

  • Video podcasts vs. Audio

    I've noticed that when a video podcast finishes, I'm dumped to the podcast listing that I played it from.
    When an audio podcast finishes, I'm dumped to the top menu.
    Why?

  • ITunes categorises my podcast as 'video podcast' instead of 'audio podcast'

    I'm new to this!
    When I started, I had 'select any media file' ticked on my Feedburner preferences in 'create podcast enclosures from links to'. iTunes took this and added a random video I had uploaded ages ago (as well as the audio podcasts I wanted up) and put me into the video podcasts category. Once I sorted it out, I changed my preferences to read 'audio files only', and pinged etc.
    iTunes has now updated everything, however the category remains stuck on video podcasting! I can't figure out how to change this. Is there something in the XML file? I've looked all through it and can't see anything I should change!
    Or is it just that iTunes will take a while to update and reflect the changes?
    Many thanks for your time.

    I'm getting 'Podcasts>Audio Podcasts>Video Games>GAMINGtruth' which seems reasonable. Your category tags read
    <itunes:category text="Games &amp; Hobbies">
    <itunes:category text="Video Games" />
    </itunes:category>
    So it looks as if it's sorted itself out.

  • Audio/video chat works but audio only doesn't

    Audio-video chats (both 2-way and one-way) work, but audio ONLY chats don't work (connection error). One machine is running 10.4.2 and the other 10.3.9. Doesn't seem like this would be a firewall or bandwidth issue if AV chats are working fine. Why would this happen?

    I have the same issue, as well as the other iChat issues on other posts. When our offices (SF area & LA area, CA, US) were on 10.3.9, no problems with audio or video chats (we all have AIM screen names). Then the boss upgraded to 10.4.1. He could a/v chat with anyone inside our network and could video (with sound) with the other office, but not audio only. When he is at home he could a/v with anyone. We upgraded one more computer in our office to 10.4.1 and it was able to audio chat to other Tiger machines outside the office, but not Panther machines (can chat with anyone inside too). Now the boss and I have upgraded these same machines to 10.4.2 and the audio chat doesn't work outside the office anymore and we still can't chat with Panther machines outside the office.
    Our office has Netopia Cayman 3546-002 ADSL Broadband Gateway on SBC Yahoo DSL at 4936 kbps down/493 kbps up. I called Netopia and had them help me open up the ports (I had them look at the apple tech document so they could help me get it right). It has NAT enabled and all the computers on this LAN have static addresses. Most of the computers access the LAN through the airport express (which just bounces the signal from the wired side). I think we have port forwarding or mapping set up for our two servers...the router looks at the address from the WAN side and routes it to the address on the LAN side. Firmware is up to date on the router.
    I did not originally set up this network and have spent much time reading the user manual for the modem/router (it's a combo device) and trying suggestions here and from Level 2 at Apple. They say it is our network, but I don't know how to fix it.
    I don't think this router has any UPnP capability, that I could find in the manual. Also what is SIP? I need a description of it or at least what that acronym stands for. Also, I've seen stuff about using the Terminal to change the telenet port. This routers telenet is set to 23, that should be fine for iChat, right? No conflict?
    Please help this tortured soul!! Thanks.

  • Why does my video  not play while audio does?

    Using iMovie 9 found that after bringing a clip from clips pane into my project that I could no longer insert or edit the project. The green insert cursor remained but all was frozen. After quitting, video clips in project pane will not play while audio (both audio from the actual clips and music) does play. When mouse hovers/scrubs over the clips in the project pane the video clips do come alive but not when i press space bar or play buttons (play full screen /play project from beginning buttons) in bottom left of window. Strangely video in clips pane do play when I press space bar.
    I tried creating a new project and importing clips but no video will play. Same thing applies to all my imovie projects. Another strange thing, the other projects will play when I click on Play Fullscreen button but not my most recent project. Instead, when I click Play full screen button the Last (ie. last in alphabeitical order) of my projects plays instead!
    I would really appreciate some help with this. Have spent a lot of hours on the project and seems like I can't even start again.  

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • Two-way video chat with other (audio-only) participants?

    Is it possible to have a five-way chat in iChat with
    . - myself and one other participant via video, and
    . - three other participants via audio only?
    I know there's an option for one-way video conferencing, where only one person in a conference has video and the other(s?) have audio, but what about two with video and the others with audio?
    And if we did this, could the three audio participants see the two video participants even if the three don't participate via video?

    Hi,
    You can start A One Way Video chat with a Buddy without a Camera.
    You can add others up to the standard 4 people (you and three others) and some can be audio Only.
    You do have to have a Mac of a G4/1Ghz dual or above and have a Upload speed of 256 k at the very Least (Apple Specs say 384k) although more is preferable when you are Host.
    Ideally the Host should be the fastest Mac with the fastest connection.
    Invite Camera able Buddies first then Audio Only Buddies by clicking on the green A/V icon they are showing in the Buddy list.
