Since the ios7 update my iTunes music videos won't play on widescreen. When I tilt video all I get are album covers

iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.2

I discovered last night that I can play videos on my iPhone 5c through the iTunes app but only get the portrait mode, but if I play them through the Videos app I get the landscape mode. On my iPad 4 I can't play them through iTunes app at all, only in the Videos app. I believe this issue started with iOS 6 (someone will surely correct me if I'm wrong!). I am able to create a video playlist within iTunes on my phone, however. Small consolation, but still a small workaround.

I have this problem too. And yes, when I get on the treadmill I want to watch my music video playlist without having to stop and look for another one. I tend to stay on the treadmill or eliptical longer when I get lost in the music videos. I could pay $2.99 for the MVP player app (thanks mgy 101!). OR APPLE COULD JUST PUT IT BACK THE WAY IT WAS! Why in the world would Apple make music videos worse? There is no reason for me to keep my Iphone if I can't watch my Itunes videos. This is why I switched from Droid to Iphone in the first place, years ago. I'm seriously thinking about just going back to an Ipod for my music videos and dropping the Iphone. I miss the slide-out keyboard anyway--too many typo's from my apparantly large fingers!
