Hi Ronni Obviously I did not state the problem clearly.
I am fairly experienced with the standard facilities of Apple TV and iTunes. My scenario: Imagine the electronic baby-sitter. I have a number of short movies (3 to 7 minutes). I want to play say ten of them consecutively without physically selecting and starting the next when one finishes. The “baby” can watch as many as desired, and I don’t have to be at hand every 5 minutes to start up the next one. Apple Communities inferred that movie Playlists were viewable either under Genre or as a new heading at the same menu level as Unwatched, Name and Genre. Playlists could only be seen “if they had been created”. But the article was written in 2007 or 2008.
