Prior to IOS 10.2 I was able to view video I had ripped on the Videos app in IOS. The process I used was to rip the video and then import them into iTunes. Then I synced my iPhone with iTunes and my movies were download and viewed using the Videos app.
IOS 10.2 no longer includes the Video app and the new TV app will not allow me to watch these ripped videos. Does someone have a solution or am I simply missing something?

Absolutely hideous TV app
i do not want access to my downloaded content. Previously I could block it, I can't figure out how on TV.
HUGE FAIL
Rather than rant about a change, why not post feedback to www.apple.com/feedback. Apple does read it however they do not respond in each piece of feedback.
Yup. i also added a movie from itunes store. same error "itunes cannot sync movies or TV shows to thge ipad "my IPAD" because the videos app is not installed"

For the time being, if you need to sideload video content from iTunes, you have to use third-party apps like VLC. I've sent feedback to Apple about this and I hope this is a bug to be fixed rather than a feature deliberately removed, because VLC isn't great (I've seen that other apps are better, but VLC has the advantage of being free), so my fingers are crossed that 10.2.1 includes movies and TV sync again.
I was trying to drag an drop my movies to iTunes and then sync it so it loads to my iPad. I found that when I try to so it it wouldn't let me and our have a red marker. I found when you update iTunes it automatically unchecks the Manually manage music and videos box in the Summary section. Once I checked it then I was able to drag and drop into iTunes.
Why I can't downloaded any YouTube video downloader app??
It seems like a bigger - and deliberate - change. For me, iTunes on iOS 10.2 will no longer play any video except for those purchased and downloaded directly from Apple. But if I change the media kind from "Music Video" to "Home Video" and add them to a Movie Playlist, they will play perfectly fine in the new TV app.
This feels like an unfinished project to replace iTunes with TV as a video player. The only workaround I see is to change the media kind to Home Video on every one of your ripped or otherwise sourced videos in your computer's iTunes and re-copy them all to your iOS device. But you still lose Shuffle All and other playlist features available in iTunes, but not in TV.
Apple needs to address this - fast.

Apple has nothing to address, had you read the thread you would quickly notice there is a solution. Look at my post from 12/13/2016 at 12:32pm.
I got a new iPad mini for Xmas that wasn't yet updated, so at least I can keep VIDEOS on that until this catastrophe is fixed.
Thank you! Can make it universal so that it would work with iPhone as well? Considering the issue remains unresolved in 10.2, I suspect Apple deliberately broke TV app.
Hey PeanutJelly,
I got your feedback and it will indeed be universal soon. Just waiting for Apple to approve the update. Should be in the Store this week.
