iOS 7 took away the ability to play videos continuously. I have some TV shows my daughter watches and use to be able to hit play all. Now you can only do one at a time. Any idea how do change this?
iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iOS 6.0.2
We used that function every day for our son (Little Einsteins TV Shows). Ok, so they did remove it for now, but I figured out a way to make it work in the interim. Go to the TV Shows that you're watching. Select them, right click, GET INFO, OPTIONS, then change it from TV SHOW to MUSIC VIDEO. It will then move the selections over to your music section. It's ok, you can always move them back when the fix is made on 7.0.x... The picture size won't be full screen, but it does allow you to shuffle or play thru continuous. I did it on our iPad 2nd Gen and works fine. Just not the same, but better than not at all. Hope this helps.
Ughhh. This is so frustrating. I got the smae message. I don't know how your child is watching Doc McStuffins. Maybe Dinosaur Train just has the DRM protection? THis is going to really impact my commute.
Not really an option. Plus you can't shuffle TV shows.
I found a way to fix this problem on mine (iPhone on iOS 7.1.2)
Keep your music videos as 'Music Videos' (meaning, don't change them to TV Show as suggested earlier by some in this thread), then do the ff.:
1. On iTunes, go to Music > Playlists > Music Videos
2. Select all files > Get Info > Click Options > Change Media Kind from Music to Music Videos*
3. In Settings > Video, make sure to set to 'Start from the beginning'
4. Sync your iPhone. iTunes should update all the music video files on your iPhone and VOILA! They should now play continuously.
*If you check the files individually, it will say Music Video under Media Kind. But for some reason when you select/highlight all, it says Music.
Hope this helps!
Good news for everyone wanting this feature back - looks like its been put back in iOS 8. You just play an episode and it automatically plays the next. This is based on the latest beta of iOS 8.
The Apple Video App will not let you play playlists, but I found an App called Joobik Player that does: http://www.joobikplayer.com/
If you change your video media kind to TV Shows, you can then add them to a seperate playlist in iTunes, then sync them to your iPad and they will then auto play on your iPad.
