Home movie titles not showing on ipad in IOS26
I have a few home videos that I have always added to my iPad and iPhone. Since the change to apps from iTunes I have imported the videos into the TV app, then connected the ipad/phone, opened the devices app, ticked the movies in the list and synched.
They always had the title as per the meta data. Now I have black thumbnails with the duration time of each file.
On my PC in the TV app I can show the files as a list which gives me the titles, but I cannot find that option in the TV app on my ipad. Purchased movies are fine as the title is in the thumbnail so they are easy to identify.
(I had also had to solve why all movies and home movies had been removed from my device when I first synched it after the update, I had to move the Home Movies folder to another location on PC, then re-add them to the
TV app - with the two purchased movies I wanted I had to right mouse, select open with Apple TV, then they appeared in the movies list in the Devices App).
Many thanks if anyone has worked this out or if I have to live with hitting a thumbnail and finding it isn't the one I want to watch/show to family or friends.
