Does the playlist show up in Music?

Nope, already checked all of those.
Oddly enough, the Playlist Folder and included playlists show up in the leftside iTunes bar, however, when I go into the "Music" tab (when my iPad is plugged in, and my iPad is selected), neither the folder nor the playlists are shown.

I'm in the process of unchecking the TV Shows, re-syncing to clear the iPad, then re-checking the "Sync TV Shows" button and trying to reinstall them.

Just resynced all 135 .MP4 "TV SHOWS" (which took 45 minutes), and iTunes thinks it accomplished something and my iPad is playing the amnesiac.
I can always change the status back to "Movie", but wanted to segregate the different videos into different categories via "TV Show" playlists.

Any help from anybody would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Justin

I've just been googling around the issue in regards to playlists. The general vibe is that playlists containing videos just don't work we'll on the iPad ( or any other iOS device).

Instead of trying playlists, try editing the metadata of each video to get the videos "grouped" in a similar fashion to TV series. Anything for the same theme or "playlist" you can use numbers like episode numbers to sort hem into the sequence you want. You can use the Get Data option when you right click the file in iTunes to edit the metadata. I did that with a series of messages I downloaded from a website and converted to mp4. Marked them as TV shows, and edited the metadata to get them showing as a series, and in the correct order.

Thanks for the advice.
They are already in order because of the name I've given them (Bio-01, Bio-02, Bio-03, etc.), and they play perfectly when they are "Movies" in the "Movie" folder instead of "TV Shows" in the "TV Show" folder...just can't figure out why the iPad can see them in one format/folder and not the other.

I'll let you know if I ever figure it out.

Thanks for the help.
