My ipad VIDEOS app doesn't show the movie Names with IOS 7

Jeroenboo

Thanks..... I did what you suggested and it WORKED !!!

The only slight inconvenience is all my 1,300 movies are in with my 12 Music Videos. But... music videos have the title AND the artists nme so you can visually tell the difference.

I hope Apple is monitoring these feedback posts and is going to fix the problem.

All.

An Update on my last post. After doing what Jeroenboo suggested,

I CAN see titles on my iPads ( we have 2 ) BUT.... We have 4 AppleTvs and now they see no movies only Music. The movies are now intermixed with "Music" "videos".

And a side note once you make all your movies Music Videos it is a pain seperating them back out to switch them back out.

Note: I have over 1,300 movies.

Some idiot programmer screwed up the "Video" app in IOS7 and it is low or not even on the list of things to fix.

I'm sensing a pattern in the post-Jobs Apple....

Mavericks audio performance messed up. (check the forums)

Simple apps messed up.

Is anyone at Apple paying attention to quality in new releases?

No. I'm not ready to switch to Samsung. Not yet.

How many times does it have to be explained, this is NOT a workaround...!!!

You do NOT get chapters when doing this, and what about the people that have, like me, thousands of music videos, and 1200 films, and don;t even start on the TV series...

I want to be able to see what i have, i paid for it, but because i didn't pay APPLE they think it is ok for me to suffer...!!!

WRONG WRONG WRONG

and i am fed up of people suggesting the SAME workarounds, it is just not something that works and not what it was designed as... Especially when you have multiple macs sharing the same library and even more ipads using it for downloading from...!!!

I doid not spend in excess of £15,000 on equipemnet to be fed this **** as an answer, i expect Apple to address the issue and correct it...!!!

Oh believe me i have, just fed up of seeing the same work around for this posted again and again when it is really not an answer...!!!

If everyone that posted on here field a grievance through the feedback system, it may get answered, but they don't...!!!

Part of the problem is the forum itself - threading your way through all the posts, some of which are rants against Apple (understandable), some are the same repeated thing about Home Videos - repeated over and over again, you can miss where someone has suggested the same thing......

My response was specific to the home sharing issue, and works.

So now I won't bother responding to this forum, but will keep any solution I find to myself.....

Exactly. >>>>> NO ONE FROM APPLE READS THIS FORUM! <<<<<

Bummer this has not been fixed. I do not sync/copy movies into my iPads - we stream them from the desktop iTunes over WLAN. Having no directory is absoutely insane.

I aso noticed all our library went from "Movies" to "Home Movies" on our Apple TV after migrating to a new Mac/updating to Mavericks.

To fix this I went into iTunes/Movies - Select ALL>Get Info>(Multiple Item Selection)>Options/Media Kind and changed them back to Movies

This didn't fix the broken directory iOS problem, but got them back to Movies in the Apple TV vs Home Movies.

Really?

Did you read what has already been suggested...?

This is hardly a work a round, and has already been discounted and answered enough times...

So please tell me with this wonderful solution, how does this affect my library on my 4 Apple TV...?

Was that considered, or should I have to change it every time I want to watch something on there as well?

A workaround would mean it is usable, this makes it even more unusable for the rest of the house, it also takes out all of the restrictions where children are concerned with age limits...

Nice to see that there are some helpful answers that others may want, but not helpful when consideration isn't given to the bigger picture and what could essentially mean kids have access to a lot more than they bargained for as a result...

Help is only help when it is correct, and the answer being continuously given does not help... Unless of course you only have an IOS device with a few films... Which is not what was asked originally...

Just updated to iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 5. Guess what? STILL NO MOVIE NAMES WHEN USING HOME SHARING. I can't believe this. It's completely useless to use home sharing to view movies on a home media server via home sharing. Seriously...this is ridiculous.

Thanks for the app suggestion. I've actually owned an app (FileBrowser) for a long time that works for video streaming; however, it doesn't remember where I stopped when viewing a video. Otherwise it works fine.

I'm going to check out Air Media Center, however.

As for Apple, why add a feature (home sharing videos) that simply doesn't work for most people?

Yeah, almost works. Except that there is no way deal with the chapters of the video.

For example if you have the entire live concert of an artist, the 'music video' options assumes it is a single.

Apparently Apple doesn't believe that anyone watches an entire video on a portable device.

Thanks for the info, but still have to go back to using the JPG idea with an icon.

My next phone will be a galaxy.

Further to this: I just realized that in iBooks (OS X), when a Collection is selected, the documents wihin the collection are presented as first page images only as well. This issue of images without document/file/film name seems a very broad problem.

That's not what I get with iBooks on OS X, it always shows me the title and author name beneath the cover image. This applies to both books purchased in the iBooks Store and other epub books sideloaded into iBooks (if they have the correct internal epub tags set with this info). It does this when books are displayed by any of the sort tabs in iBooks - All Books, Collections, Authors, Categories. List of course simply lists the books (if only the Videos app had this option!) but it does include the title and author info as you'd expect.

What version of iBooks are you using? 1.0.1?

This is really a Pain in the A** how do we go about notifying Apple so we can get some kind of fix for this??
This CANT be something they did on purpose
Right?

Removing the Names and the ability to choose a Picture frame so you can at least see the movie is just stupid and if this is where Apple is going I am TOTALLY dumping 2 iPhones 2 iPads and going to Android...
We should have seen this coming with the kind of carless
(Will fix it when WE think it’s a Problem Attitude ********!)
Not good Apple, I’m OUT if this is not fixed!
