ios 10.2 no continuous video play tv app

After the new update I can no longer play purchased tv shows one episode after another automatically without having to select the show I want to watch and selecting play individually with the new TV app. This is pretty catastrophic for my 2 year old....


Help is appreciated.

I have a 2 yr old as well and it is particularly dangerous while driving and having to reach back for the iPad.. disable guided access, tap "done" tap the next episode, hit play, re-enable guided access and reach back again to hand my child his Curious George!!! I now have to find a spot to pull over the car and do this dance every 20 minutes. This is the most basic feature of a video player since RealPlayer on pre OS X macs!!! It was taken from me in an update with no warning. Steve Jobs is rolling over in his grave.


Does anyone here know how to move these apple store files to another folder and play them through VLC app?


I thought I was losing my mind trying to find the setting in iOS.. it never occurred to me that I would not find an answer to this question!!!

How does THAT article help ANYONE with the issues of the iOS 10.2 TV App!

Hmmmm?...

For one thing, that article is 3 years old!

It looks/appears as if that DRM media converter app is no longer available to strip out the DRM content out of iTunes videos.

Correction,,the app is STILL available, but it is NOT free!

The video DRM removal tool is a $50 U.S.D. app!

It's an iTunes 11 hack! We're up to iTunes 12.5.4 of 5, now!

It's a conversion hack for playing on Mac or Windows computers! NOT on iOS iDevices!

How, Pretell, do you get this content from your computer onto your iDevice to play on VLC for iOS?

No mention of THAT in the article!

Please DO NOT POST irrevelent and outdated information if you do not know what you are talking about!

Do you work for developer/company?
