Can't watch video playlist in landscape/fullscreen mode

After updating my iPhone to iOS 7 I can no longer watch my music video playlists in landscape mode.


I used to be able to watch my video playlists in full screen mode by just putting the phone in landscape mode, but now it just shows a useless cover flow screen that has no relation to what's playing.


I realize I can watch music videos in the videos app, but music videos don't make much sense unless you can listen to them in a playlist. This is the worst update to the iPhone music app since I purchased my iPhone 3GS (Now I'm using a iPhone 5). Very disappointing.


Is there a work around? How can I go back to iOS 6? iOS 7 provides too little feature enhacements to take away such a big feature.

I previously purchased MVP Player but it does not solve the underlying problem of playing multiple DRM protected content.


I purchased on my iMac at least 100 music videos that are DRM protected. I used to be able to play in playlists on my authorized mobile devices using iOS6. Apple took that feature away with iOS7 so you could only play 1 at a time in the Video app, no playlists!! Apple did this intentionally and has never given an explanation why they took feeatures away.


if you use MVP or any other 3rd party app, Apple will not let them play your authorized DRM encoded music in a playlist unless it was purchased on the same device, so there is no solution other than hit play on each song or use only mv that does not use rights management.
