Hey all,


I've noticed recently that my iPad video app loops around on itself continuously, so as soon as an episode finishes it starts playing the same episode again..

This may or may not have come in with 4.2 - never noticed it before but dont regularly use the video feature. Anyone got any experience with this and know how to sort it, it's somewhat similar to placing a track on 'repeat 1' in iTunes if that helps clear things up.

Rally frustrating this as it would be nicej to be able to just leave it as I watch and go to sleep and et the iPad do the same at the end of the episode, as it stands the device just loops around ad indigotin.

Pease help!
 
Aye maybe, but this is the GM build in question. Anyone else having this?
 
No. Not at all, but then I can't actually find an option for that, first thing I looked for.

Hmmm, you are right, there's no option for looping videos! :eek:

Ok then, I have no idea. Sorry!

It's certainly intriguing. What I haven't figured out yet is if this affects everyone or just me. If it's me it's system restore time, if not just me then what the heck are apple thinking.
 
Happens for me too. Looks like something they ****ed up. 4.2.1 eh?

Mine also freezes after 1 second every now and then. Like it needs to buffer the video, on local playback...
 
Chiming in to say I noticed it too the other day. Googled to find the setting I must have been missing. Good grief...what a gaffe on somebody's part.
 
Same here

I observe the same behavior. Ever since upgrade to 4.2.1 videos now loop. At first I thought it was a continuous loop, but my wife pointed out to me that it only loops once (i.e. plays twice) and then stop. At least that is what happens with my vid clips which are all relatively shortm-- under three minutes.

I can also say that it happens for iPads synced with both Mac and Windows iTunes.

I would think this has to be a bug -- otherwise, what were the programmers at Apple thinking? How could this possibly be a "feature".
 
I have the same issue - the videos loop once then stops. I've also noticed that all of my thumbnails on the chapter list have gone away too. It's just black.
 
I also noticed that I had the behavior this morning while I didn't have it last week. I Googled around and found this. I certainly matches my situation as I did use the shuffle function in the iPod app last week. Will give it a try!

EDIT : IT WORKS! Now that is a weird bug wouldn't you say?

About the chapter thumbnails being black I also have this problem. If anyone finds a fix PLEASE post it!!!! :)
