iOS 7 won't allow music videos on a playlist play in landscape mode

I find this ridiculous as well i cant believe they did this, its my only problem with the new os i really hope they fix this soon.

iOS 6 behaved the same way for me. Originally iOS 6 did not play music videos at all but then could when they added the Video app. I also find this odd but I'm still watcing my music videos as I used to so its not broken, it just functions in a way that is different from how some of us expect it to respond. Since rotating the iPhone when in iTunes (while playng a non-music video song) brings up an alternative, album, view, this behavior is consistent from a technical perspective, but I'd prefer that the video would just rotate into landscape mode.

I just tried it in iOS 7.0.2 and music videos do play for me just fine in the music app, it just doesn't rotate when i turn the phone. The functionality exists, just us the Video app. Since this behavior is consistent from version to version is not broke. If you are looing for an enhancement then contact Apple and politely as them for an enhancement resuest to get the behavior of teh iTunes app to be changed from the standard behavior, just for music videos.

and that is also the reason i needed to create playlists, to better organise the videos. just like songs, we can create playlists to what we want. and we have this playlists to play songs continuously in the order that we set. likewise for videos.

i just want really my videos to play in full screen landscape, in the playlists, just like previously in iOS 6. i really miss that function in iOS 6.

or allow VIDEO to create playlists?

After updating to ios7 and losing the landscape video playlist functionality that the iPhone had for years, I too am extremely frustrated, as I too routinely used the video playlist feature to exercise with on a daily basis on an elliptical or treadmill. I agree that adding a playlist feature to the videos app would work as well. I was afraid this might happen, as the iPad lost this functionality as well (as best as I could tell), but at least I found an app to use on the iPad to create a video playlist for songs purchased on iTunes. At this stage, I'm reluctant to purchase any more music videos on iTunes after having the landscape music video playlist feature arbitrarily removed in the ios7 ""update". I would not have purchased the videos I already had if I knew the ability to view them in an easy and efficient manner would be taken away.

is there any work around for this issue ? I had the same issue in IO6 , but in somepost they asked to do some changes in the itunes and its worked

(or)

Atleast we need "Playlist" in "Video"

***?

What is Apple thinking? There is absolutely no rhyme or reason as to why they would do away with the perfectly funcitoning video feature in iTunes. Everyone knows that Their video player app is a completley and utterly useless piece of junk that has no practical functionality whatsoever. Seriously, who sits there and watches one video at a time and then has the time to scroll through the rest of their videos until they find the next video that they want to watch?

I just read an article in Popular Science about this new technology that allows you to create music video playlists in panoramic/ landscape view...

Seriously, what's it going to take Apple to get with the program and quit f*****g everything up all of the time. Especillially with all of the competition that's out there these days... Nobody needs to put up with this crap. Someone please explain to me what the purpose of being able to arbitrarilly view random album art when watching a music video and turning your screen to landscape panoramic.

IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT!

Apple/ Mac, you're seriously tempting fate and before long you'll be falling by the wayside of a company who keeps it simple and provides the customer with what they want, as opposed to just randomly chaging things up because you can.

You guys are getting way too big for your own britches...

Guess what . . . I upgraded to IOS 7 - and now I can't play movies or videos at all ! Apple have removed the capability for iPhone 4. I've been to the Genius Bar in my Apple store, and they don't know how to restore the capability to play movies and videos . . . Even the ones that I shot using the iPhone's video recorder !!

ps: The staff at the Genius Bar tell me can't restore my iPhone 4 to IOS 6

Apple, what am I meant to do?

Good news, I backed up the iPhone 4, I "reset all settings" (this was a pain because you have to re-enter a lot of settings again), and then re-synched with iTunes . . . and I got the Video Player application installed 🙂

Apple TV plays my itunes playlist--both audio and music videos fine. iOS 7 ipad can do it too, but the videos in landscape orientation are small. Why can't the videos play full screen as they do on Appletv?

I assume you already have this fixed but just in case anyone else needs it, my friend gave me the solution. I just ran into this problem tonight and my friend told me how to fix it. In the quick settings, click on the lock and it will say Potrait locked. Just unlock it and there you go! Quick easy fix!! Upper right hand corner...

Are you serious? Apparently the arrow missed it's mark here. First of all Video Player is a worthless app with no practical functionality whatsoever. No search option, no playlist capability, no continuous playback, etc... In regrads to music video it is just as useless as iTunes after they came out with the new IOS update.

Nice try though 😉
