nissanfrontier Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 I searched the forums here and tried the reformat on the ipod, but the thing still won't play movies, just the sound. 30G classic. I will play the first movie on my 80G classic, but just sound on the 30G (my sons cartoon movei ipod). Any suggestions? I reformated earlier after it wouldn't even play or give sound on any. But now it just gives sound on all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dianebrat Posted June 11, 2010 Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Is the ipod set to properly output video? You know it's the 30GB unit since the bigger ipod plays video fine, it's not the AVIC Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nissanfrontier Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 That is what I am figuring it is an iPod issue. But it seems the settings are he same on each iPod. I am goin to check the iPod firmware and see if that is updated. But otherwise I haggard TV out set to on. TV type to ntcs (or whatever it is) and widescreen to on. Those are the only settings I see Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nissanfrontier Posted June 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 Anyone else on this? I checked and both had some settings, firmware is updated on ipod, nothing abnormal. again, it plays the sound of every movie, but no visual. even my rear seat monitor that is hooked up to the AVIC says 'no signal' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nissanfrontier Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 VBlues cabel sticky thread got me thinking maybe it is the cable? I have the OG pioneer cable, not a knock off, but maybe it is bad? Any my iPods are 5th gen, 30G and 80G, not classics. Just don't know which cable to get, anyone use the Apple cable on the AVIC? Do you lose ability to function the iPod through the AVIC? Guess also if the pioneer cable didn't work, I could always send it back to crutchfield? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your issue isn't the cable, can't be, the video out is the same pin on all ipod cables/docks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I reformatted three times now, and the settings are the same on each ipod, the 80G plays the first video on the list (I didn't reformat that one) and the 30G plays the sound of the movie, but no visual.

VBLUE42 Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 It is likely a defective pin in the dock connector of the iPod. See if you can try that iPod on some other display device and see if you get the same problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, I vaguely remembered how to connect it to my denon dock on the home theater and after getting the cable right, it played the video through the dock to the tv. so must not be the PIN. anything else?

nissanfrontier Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 It is definately the iPod. I bought a new iPod AV cable and it did the same thing, so I broke down and reformatted the 80G. Plugged it in and all the movies worked. Anyone else using a 30G 5th gen video? Is it working with movies or not? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nissanfrontier Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 Well I spoke too soon. This morning I tried again and only the first movie played. Last night I tried the first movie last movie on the list and a middle movie and they all worked this is frustrating Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nissanfrontier Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 I reformatted the 80G again, actually 3 times in row, and it played all movies the first time. I am going to try again here in a bit to see if it continues to work. Is it any possibliity the scheme I am using, or anything in the AVIC could be causing it to not play the rest of the movies.?

nissanfrontier Posted June 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2010 OK, last resort. I am going to try to create seperate playlists for each movie. It worked as stated above, then I got back in the truck 30 minutes later and it worked then too (all movies played) then I drove for about 15 minutes, shut the truck off and when I turned it back on, only the first movie would play again.

nissanfrontier Posted June 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 Well so far today it appears if I create the movie it's own seperate playlist they all play fine but in the main menu they wont. What a pain but ok do what I have to Quote Link to post Share on other sites
