View Movie Playlist and Movie Artwork

I have a lot of movies being managed by iTunes which I've categorized by genre. I've also pasted the film's theatrical poster into the Artwork tab. However, when I view my movies in Front Row, I don't see a way to view the movie by genre (or display a genre playlist), and none of the artwork shows up; Front Row just shows the generic film strip icon.
Is there any way to view movies of only a certain genre, and how do I get the movie's poster to be displayed? Thanks

Front Row works a little differently with movies/videos than iTunes. Front Row or QuickTime uses the "poster frame" in your video file to display as artwork, not the iTunes artwork. If these movies are from the iTunes store, the poster frame should already be set. If these are movies you recorded using something like EyeTV or downloaded from the Internet, the poster frame is probably not set. If you have QuickTime Pro, you can open the movie file with the QuickTime Player and set the poster frame manually (and/or add a frame that includes the poster itself). If these are movies you've ripped from a DVD, you can put a picture file inside the VIDEO_TS folder named "Preview.jpg" and Front Row will use that as the poster.

  • ITunes 11: Is there a way to see Movie artwork in list view anymore?

    There used to be a small avatar of the movie artwork to the left of the title, anyone see how to do this again?
    Thanks in advance!

    No, there is no way to quickly preview artwork of selected songs.      You have to commit with "Get Info".      I agree, the lack of a preview window makes managing the library far more tedious.      You can't trust the artwork in "Album" view because iTunes seems to pull that from the cloud, artwork you see may not embedded in the song.   
    This was the main reason I switched back to iTunes 10.7.     The other reason was the inability to open multiple windows.    I was trying to create a playlist of the songs on my daughters's iPod touch, and ended up having to create a screenshot of the iPod.   Convoluted workarounds for tasks that used to be done in one click is called "progress".

  • HT2729 i downloaded 3 songs to my pc and sync'd my ipod and the songs do not tranfer.  is this related to not having the proper itunes version vs ios?  I cannot get the songs to sync, but I can move other songs to different playlists and they sync fine...

    Hi Dennis!
    I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
    Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
    If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:

  • I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance

    I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance
    its 1000s of songs . Originally I used the time machine as a networked drive but it can cause the songs to pause so I'm thinking it would be better to have the songs on the internal imac drive
    how can I move the songs so I can re-open iTunes and the playlists (with plays in the 100s) find the song in the new place?

    Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
    Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

  • Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov file

    Using Aperture 3 and Lion I can no longer view .mov files from a Canon G11. I get a thumbnil which is a triangle with !. If I right click I can open it with Quick time. I cannot import any of the files into iMovie as it does not recognize them in Aperture or iPhoto.  From other dicussions I tried removing 3ivvxVideoCodec.componenet from Quiktime Library and retarted with no success, so iI restored the file. 

    You are welcome;
    there is another problem with videos, that might apply in your your case, when you reimport the videos, after you deinstalled the codec - the location you are importing from, and the permission settings, see this post:
    Re: Aperture cannot read newly imported video since Lion upgrade.

  • Viewing movies and photos on your TV using Ipod

    I am having trouble viewing my photos and movies through my AV cable to my TV, I get sound but no picture. I have changed the TV output settings but no luck still getting a picture. any suggestions on how to get it working?
    http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2041/876/store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/ibookavcable125.jpg

    Well the cable I have is not the apple branded one, but it is the same cable, its a male head phone jack with the rca cables on the other end. There should be no difference. I never owned an ipod photo, do you know how did users hook up there photo pods to a TV, it should be the same way you think?

    Update your Flash from Adobe's website.   If that doesn't work, tell the webmaster they aren't using a portable version of Flash that is as compatible with as many browsers as possible.

  • I have a iPad2 you tell me how to view movies and games to use facebook

    I have a iPad2 you tell me how to view movies and games to use facebook.
    Thanks and best regards,

    Hi Luigi,
    well, your Question is not very concrete.
    you can watch Film with Itunes. You can rent or buy there Movies.
    You also can sync movies from your mac to the Ipad - just add them to the Mediathek and sync the Folder/File. Quick Time give you the Function - put these open Video File to Itunes. You also have the possibilty in imvoie. 
    With Facebook games, i cant help help you - i dont like Facebook, and i dont use this service. But when these games are Flash Games you arenot able to use them with you Ipad, because ipad have not Flash support.

  • Will iTunes 10.7 play my 720p HD movies on my Core Duo Mac mini that are currently on my iTunes movies playlist and playing perfectly fine in iTunes 10.6.3?

    Will iTunes 10.7 play my 720p HD movies on my Core Duo Mac mini that are currently on my iTunes movies playlist and playing perfectly fine in the older iTunes 10.6.3?
    Please let me know so I do not update to iTunes 10.7 and lose the ability to playback my 720p HD collection from my Core Duo Mac Mini to my Apple TV.
    In the requirements it says:
    • To play 720p HD video, an iTunes LP, or iTunes Extras, a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor and 1GB of RAM is required.

    Performed the AppleTV update yesterday.  Haven't had a problem since...though it's only been one day.  Am I just hopelessly optimistic to think that AppleTV just needed to be updated to match iTunes and iOS for home sharing and airplay?
    Fingers crossed...

  • Viewing mov, avi, and mp4 files in photoshop 12

    How can I view mov, mp4, and avi files in Photoshop 12?

    thanks for your reply Tom. the video is from cameras, video cameras, vhs tapes, and mini dvds. everything looks much worse after import into fcpx;  i haven't imported hd files. The specs. are, everything gets blurry and color pales.  i just tried importing four more files (and optimized), all mov, (no avi or mp4), and there is no change in quality. I'm comparing the video in fcpx to the same video before it was imported. i've compared it side by side to the files being played in quicktime, real player, idvd, and el gato eye tv (third party video capture software). everything is crisp and color is vibrant before going into fcpx. 

  • I have some songs that have an exclamantion point next to them and I can't get them to sync.  I had to move them manually into a playlist and succeeded in doing that but now the playlist won't sync.  What's the problem?

    I have the same problem and I am very upset. I have heard that Apple/iTunes is removing all songs that are unlicened for this type of download. Apple does not want to be responsible for pirated music. Much of mine is down loaded from CD's.  I have to go to search and put in every song and then, if found,  put it into My Music then back into iTunes.  WHAT A HASSLE. I don't remeber reading anything about this. 224 songs so far.  NOT HAPPY.

    If you live in a country where the feature is not available, you will not be able to rent movies. Not all iTunez content is available worldwide.
