This may be obvious to some, but not to others ... iTunes is now capable of running as a video kiosk. I know that some of us like to download music videos from the iTunes Music Store, and this tip allows you to run your own video playlist in full-screen mode. I blogged it in detail, but here's the quick version:
- Create a video playlist. A smart folder that selects "kind" is "quicktime" is one way to do this.
- In iTunes' preferences, set iTunes to play videos fullscreen.
- Click on the header of the artwork window in the iTunes main interface so that it toggles to read "Now Playing."
- Highlight your playlist and click "Play"
Now if you have a spare computer in your office/home, you can run one as a video kiosk. You can even set a video and/or the whole playlist to repeat, if you want it to loop endlessly in the background.
