Videos will not repeat

Hi,
I have all of my music videos on a playlist called Videos. With previous versions of iTunes, while playing in full screen or just in the now playing box, when one video would end, another one would begin playing. Now when I play videos in my playlist or Apples video list, when one ends, it just ends and nothing plays after it. I have shuffle and repeat all enabled. This is annoying because I cannot just relax and play a bunch of videos - now I have to manually begin them one at a time. Also, if I don't play a video all the way to the end, the next time it starts up it begins where I left off the time before. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks.

How did you do this? I have a separate video playlist - not repeating, made another - not repeating either, removed all my videos from library and then re-added them, still won't repeat. I have repeat all and shuffle enabled. I cannot even use the next song arrow to move to another video - it just pauses the one I was playing. I have to manually click on another selection to make it play and then it stops and nothing plays when it is over, This is driving me crazy. If I play a video in the main library, an audio song will play after a video. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Same here, and an addition...I downloaded a video from the ITMS. If I play a non-ITMS video, after it ends, it plays ONLY the video I downloaded from the ITMS if it is in the same playlist.

In other words, my random video jukebox doesn't work. I click the right arrow on a video I want to pass, and things finish (unless it is a video from the ITMS and in the same playlist). What happened?

I am not going to be very helpfull here, but it just works for me. I bought two video`s from ITMS, made a playlist, put the tracks in there, in controls selected repeat all, and they do just that. I have added a short video from my digital camera and that plays with the other tracks.

I can only suggest you verify repair the permissions on your disk, I was told to do this at regular intervals some time ago and since I started to do this everything I have used from apple has run without any problems.

I was having the same trouble. In the window that displays album art, I changed it to reflect the "now playing" song instead of the "selected song". This fixed the problem. Hope this makes sense. This is my first time posting and I'm no expert by any means!

I finally figured it out!! They changed something so tv shows don't pop up when you are playing your music library. Now you have to go to the Apple videos list and Get Info on each video and uncheck the boxes that say to skip in shuffle and resume playback where it left off.

Heather S,

Thank you soooo much! That works. Also, changing the video to Music Video (if you are running a music video jukebox) also does the trick.

Thanks!

Tony
